      "title": "Child Support Provisions in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171)",
      "summary": "Among other things,  P.L. 109-171  (the budget reconciliation measure, now referred to as the\nDeficit\nReduction Act of 2005 --  S. 1932 ) made a number of changes to the Child Support\nEnforcement (CSE) program. The act will reduce the federal matching rate for laboratory costs\nassociated with paternity establishment from 90% to 66%, end the federal matching of state\nexpenditures of federal CSE incentive payments reinvested back into the program, and require states\nto assess a $25 annual user fee for child support services provided to families with no connection\nto the welfare system.  P.L. 109-171  also simplifies CSE distribution rules and extends the \"families\nfirst\" policy by providing incentives to states to encourage them to allow more child support to go\nto both former welfare families and families still on welfare. In addition,  P.L. 109-171  revises some\nchild support enforcement collection mechanisms and adds others. The Congressional Budget Office\n(CBO) estimates that the CSE provisions contained in  P.L. 109-171  will reduce federal costs of the\nCSE program by $1.5 billion over the five-year period FY2006-FY2010. This report will not be\nupdated.",
