Support Not Just For Children
Support payments totaled $43.4 billion in 2005, an average of $5,600 per provider annually. Data from the Support Providers: 2005. This report shows that monetary support is primarily for children, although it also includes support for other non-household members, such as parents or other relatives. These data tables come from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, a national survey designed to provide comprehensive details about the social and economic well-being of individuals and households.
