Jill Berrick, Professor

Check back for status
I am engaged in research that examines state policies regarding the imposition of child support payments for parents whose children are in foster care. An obscure federal policy allows states to charge parents when their children are placed in foster care. My work focuses on examining these policies across states and providing research support to change state policies so that they are more family-friendly.
Role: Meet with me regularly (probably weekly) to review research tasks associated with this project.
Assist in collecting data from individual states about their policy approach.
Support continued development of our website to host accumulated data, infographics, etc.
Other tasks associated with child welfare research.
