Description
In this brief, we profile Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) cases that closed due to a child support sanction. In Maryland, when the adult on a TCA case does not comply with the federal requirement to cooperate with the local public child support agency, the case receives a full-family sanction, meaning that the entire assistance grant is revoked. While these sanctions are rare, comprising less than 5% of all case closures, their share of closed cases has grown in recent years.
