PURPOSE The purpose of this briefing is to provide information to the Virginia Child Support Guidelines Review Panel that can be used to assess the adequacy and appropriateness of the existing Virginia guidelines. The Panel was appointed to fulfill a statutory requirement (Code of Virginia §20-108.2H) to review the guidelines. The Panel must report its findings to the General Assembly by December 2013. The Center for Policy Research (CPR)1 is providing technical assistance to the Panel. This is one of two briefings that CPR is providing for the Panel’s November meeting. This briefing addresses the child support schedule, which concerns three policy issues

identified by the Panel at its June meeting.2 Those issues are the appropriateness of the existing schedule, the inclusion of a self-support reserve in the schedule, and retaining or increasing the minimum order, which is part of the schedule.

The other briefing addresses the Panel’s other guidelines issues that do not affect

schedule amounts.3

BASIS OF UPDATED, PRELIMINARY SCHEDULES CPR has developed two alternative, updated schedules for the Panel’s review. Schedule A is based on 2012 federal and state income rates and FICA. It includes a

nominal increase to the minimum order for two or more children and updated low-income adjustment, but the adjustment is not based on a “self-support reserve.”

Schedule B is based on 2013 federal and state income rates and FICA if Congress

passes no additional legislation affecting taxes before 2013. Schedule B retains the $65 minimum order but expands it to higher incomes to accommodate an updated self-support reserve, based on the current poverty level.

1 CPR is an independent, non-profit organization contracted by the Department of Social Services, which supports the Panel. In the last five years, CPR has worked with 25 states on guidelines reviews. 2 See Meeting Minutes, Virginia Child Support Guidelines Review Panel, June 12, 2012, Richmond, Virginia. 3 The other briefing addresses the following issues: guidance on each parent’s financial responsibility toward the first $250 in the child’s medical expenses, adding back the adjustment for the child’s healthcare insurance coverage if not provided as ordered, the 1.4 multiplier in the shared-custody adjustment, the 90-overnight threshold for applying the shared-custody adjustment, adjustments for either parent’s multiple families, adjustments for variations in child-rearing costs by child’s age, and adjustments for regional variations in living costs.

Side-by-side comparisons of the updated schedules and existing schedule are provided at the end of this document. The areas of the schedules that have been adjusted for the minimum order and low-income adjustment (e.g., self-support reserve) are shaded in blue (i.e., grey if viewed in black and white print). The “shaded” area shown in Schedule A could be applied to Schedule B and vice versa. Further, as discussed in greater detail later, there are numerous other options for low-income adjustments besides those shown in Schedules A and B. Low-income adjustments are mostly policy decisions with some economic considerations.

Economic Basis of the Core Schedule The core of the schedule is the area between the “shaded area” (i.e., the area that has been adjusted for extraordinarily low income) and the highest income considered in the schedule. The existing Virginia schedule covers parental combined gross incomes of $0 through $10,000 per month. The minimum order applies to gross incomes below $600 per month and there are formulae for gross incomes above $10,000 per month. The core of the schedule reflects economic data on child-rearing expenditures; that is, what families with similar incomes spend on their children, on average. The schedule amounts exclude the childcare expenses, the child’s health insurance premium, and the child’s extraordinary medical expenses because the guidelines provide that the actual amounts expended for these items be factored into the calculation of the support award on a case-by-case basis. When developing an updated schedule, most states first consider the core of the schedule; then, develop the formula for high incomes and the low-income adjustment including the minimum support amount. This sequence of decision making also allows for the development of a gradual transition between the low-income adjustment and core schedule as well between the core schedule and the high-income formula. The cores of Schedules A and B are based on the following economic data.

2012 price levels. The existing Virginia schedule is based on 1988 or earlier price levels. Prices have almost doubled from 1988 to 2012 (i.e., they have increased by 98 percent). However, some of that increase is offset by income increases.6

Alternative Measurements and Basis of Existing Virginia Schedule As discussed in Dr. Venohr’s powerpoint presentation to the Panel on September 26, 2011, there are several studies of child-rearing expenditures available for updating state child support schedules. The studies vary in data years and methodologies used to separate the child’s share of expenditures from total expenditures for both the children and adults living in a household. Most studies consist of national measurements of child-rearing expenditures based on the Consumer Expenditures Survey (CES), which is a national, on-going survey. It is the most definitive and comprehensive survey of expenditures. The CES does not provide state-level data and no state has replicated the CES because of its prohibitive costs and time requirements. Economists do not agree which methodology best measures actual expenditures on children, but economists generally agree that any amount between the lower and upper bounds of credible measurements are appropriate amounts for child support guidelines. The most commonly used methodology, the “Rothbarth” methodology is generally considered the lower bound. 7 The Betson-Rothbarth (BR) measurements form the basis of 30 state guidelines including five states that border Virginia.8 The existing Virginia schedule is based on estimates of child-rearing expenditures developed by Dr. Thomas Espenshade using the “Engel” methodology applied to 1972-73 CES data.9 It was the only credible study of child-rearing expenditures at the time and

6According to the 1990 and 2010 U.S. Census, Virginia median family income was $38,213 and $72,476, respectively. This represents a 90 percent increase in income. 7 This was the conclusion of Lewin/ICF. Lewin/ICF was contracted by the U.S. DHHS to provide states with information useful to the development of state child support guidelines (Lewin/ICF (1990. Estimates of Expenditures on Children and Child Support Guidelines, Report to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation. Fairfax, VA). The conclusion was resonated in an OCSE publication (Barnow, Burt S. 1994. “The Economic Studies of Expenditures on Children and Their Relationship to Child Support Guidelines,” Child Support Guidelines: The Next Generation, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administrative for Children and Families, Office of Child Support Enforcement, Wash., D.C. 8The only state bordering Virginia with child support guidelines that are not based on Betson-Rothbarth (BR) measurements is Kentucky, which is one of a few states that have never updated its guidelines. The District of Columbia, West Virginia and Tennessee rely on the second set of Betson-Rothbarth measurements (BR2). Maryland relies on BR3 and North Carolina relies on BR4. The District of Columbia and Maryland guidelines schedule have also adjusted the BR measurements to consider their relatively high housing costs. The BR measurements used in the West Virginia child support schedule were adjusted to consider West Virginia’s relatively low income. 9 Thomas J. Espenshade (1984). Investing in Children: New Estimates of Parental Expenditures, Urban Institute Press: Washington, D.C. (1984).

formed the basis of most state guidelines developed in the 1980’s. There are no new and current Engel measurements of child-rearing expenditures available for updating the schedule. Most economists believe that the Engel methodology produces higher measurements of child-rearing expenditures than the Rothbarth methodology. Economists use a methodology to separate the child’s share of total household expenditures because most household expenditures are consumed by both children and adults living in the same household. Both the “Rothbarth” and “Engel” methodology10 are “marginal cost” methodologies that compare expenditures between two equally well-off families: (a) married couples with children, and (b) married couples of child-rearing age without children. The difference in expenditures between these two families is deemed to be child-rearing expenditures. The Engel methodology uses expenditures on food, while the Rothbarth methodology relies on expenditures for adult goods (specifically, adult clothes in the Rothbarth estimates that form the basis of state guidelines) to determine equally well-off families. Another credible and popular study of child-rearing expenditures is the USDA study, which is updated annually.11 Only one state relies on the USDA measurements as the basis of its child support guidelines. The USDA study is the upper bound of measurements of child-rearing expenditures.12 A USDA-based schedule would also be more than the amounts shown in Schedules A and B. Adjustments to the Betson-Rothbarth Measurements Some states make various adjustments to the Betson-Rothbarth measurements when developing their schedules. No adjustments other than the ones previously mentioned for childcare expenses, the child’s extraordinary medical expenses, and the child’s health insurance premium are made when developing Schedules A and B. Some states adjust for their respective state’s extremely high or low income or high housing costs. The District of Columbia and Maryland both base their child support schedules on BR measurements and increase them to account for their relatively high housing costs.13 If

Virginia were to adjust for its income or housing expenses, Schedules A and B would be more. Three states adjust their schedules for the obligated parent’s direct child-rearing expenses during a state-determined amount of standard visitation/shared-parenting time.14 Including this assumption would reduce the amounts in Schedules A and B. Tax Rates and Expenditure Ratios The Betson-Rothbarth estimates of child-rearing expenditures are expressed as a percentage of total family expenditures. Most states convert them to a gross-income basis by using prevailing state and federal income tax rates and FICA and the average expenditures to after-tax income rates from families in the CES sample that Betson used to develop the Rothbarth measurements. These were the assumptions used to develop Schedules A and B. The need for these assumptions is illustrated in the exhibit below. It shows that families do not spend all of their gross income because of taxes. Higher income families (i.e., families with incomes above $40,000 net per year) in the CES have some savings or expenditures outside the home (e.g., gifts and charitable contributions). Most states (29 states) base their guidelines schedule/formula on gross income. Most gross-income states that use the BR measurements convert the BR measurements from a net-income basis to a gross-income basis by assuming all income is earned and taxed at a rate of single taxpayer with no dependents.15 This assumption biases the schedule downward; that is, the schedule amounts are usually less than what they would be had the actual after-tax incomes of the parents been applied to a net-income schedule. Parents whose filing status is “married,” claim more dependents, have income that is not taxed as ordinary income (e.g., qualified dividends), and with other situations typically pay less taxes, hence have more after-tax income available for child support. Some of this bias, however, is mitigated in states that believe families budget from paycheck to paycheck rather than according to their remaining income after filing their year-end taxes. These states use the employer withholding income formula to convert net to gross income. The withholding formula does not advance the earned income tax 14 Most states, however, recognize that visitation/shared-parenting time arrangements vary significantly from case-to-case and the custodial parent’s child-rearing expenses are not necessarily reduced when the child spends a small amount of time with the noncustodial parent. To this end, most states adjust for timesharing once the noncustodial parent’s time with the child reaches a certain threshold and make the adjustment in the worksheet.

credit or the child tax credit. Under the withholding formula, parents whose filing status is “head of household,” are taxed at the same rate at a single taxpayer. Both the federal and state employer withholding formulae were used to develop Schedules A and B. District of Columbia has a unique approach to the gross-to-net income conversion issue. The District assumes all income is taxed as it would be for a married couple with the number of children for whom support is being determined. This produces higher schedule amounts than the tax assumption underlying Schedules A and B. Still another approach is to use a net-income based schedule and provide tax conversion tables or specify each parent’s tax assumptions for converting a parent’s gross income to net income within the state’s guidelines. The District of Columbia also uses a different ratio of expenditures to after-tax income ratio to convert the Betson-Rothbarth measurements. The District assumes all after-tax income is spent. This makes the District schedule more than other BR-based schedules including Schedules A and B. The expenditures to after-tax income used in most BR-based schedules is the average ratio of expenditures to after-tax income among families in the CES data Betson used to produce his measurements of child-rearing expenditures.

2012 and 2013 Federal Tax Rates The existing Virginia schedule considers tax rates and FICA that were in effect in 1988 or earlier. Because of the uncertainty of federal income tax rates and changes to FICA, CPR

15 An adjustment is typically made for self-employment taxes that are paid. For example, Code of Virginia §20-108.2C (4) provides such an adjustment.

has prepared two updated schedules: Schedule A relies on 2012 rates and Schedule B relies on 2013 rates assuming that Congress takes no actions to alter rescinding rates16 or the additional Medicare tax rate on higher incomes that becomes effective in 2013. In reality, however, there is sufficient time to develop a “Schedule C” that could include tax changes, if any, and other changes requested by the Panel before its final report is due. The table below highlights differences in the federal tax code over time.

Reason for 2013 Change

Current tax rates rescind Dec. 31, 2012 Affordable Care Act of 2010 (healthcare reform)

The differences between 2012 and 2013 tax rates on the schedule are apparent in the side-by-side comparisons of Schedules A and B. The average difference between Schedules A and B due to 2012 and 2013 tax difference is: One child: an average difference of $32 and a maximum difference of $66; Two children: an average difference of $48 and a maximum difference of $100; and Three children: an average difference of $56 and a maximum difference of $120. These average are based on the core of the schedule (i.e., above the low-income adjustment through combined gross incomes of $10,000 per month). It is not clear what the percentage increase an updated schedule could be attributed to changes in federal tax code since the current schedule was developed in the 1980’s. Because there is usually a lag between schedule development and the passing of legislation, the existing schedule is most likely based on 1987 or 1986 tax code. As

16The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 lowered personal income tax rates until 2010 but has been extended several times. The rates are now scheduled to rescind December 31, 2012. The 2010 Tax Relief Act lowered the employee share of the social security tax and it was also extended through December 31, 2012.

evident in the above table, tax rates varied considerably year to year in the 1980’s. For middle incomes, however, the effective tax rate in 2012/2013 is definitively more than it was in the late 1980’s because of increases to the maximum income that the Social Security tax applies.17 For low incomes, the change in the effective tax rate depends on the specific years compared; that is, whether 1986, 1987 or 1988 are compared to 2012 or 2013. The same is true for high incomes with the notable exception of very high incomes in 1986 compared to now. In 1986, the federal income tax rate was 50% for taxable incomes above $88,270 per year. This is considerably higher than the 2012 and 2013 rates. If the 1986 tax rates were used to develop the existing Virginia schedule, parents with very high incomes would have less after-tax income available to spend on child rearing. Updates at High Income The CES includes high-income families, but the sample size is not large enough to detect differences in expenditures between very high-income families. For example, it is insufficient to detect whether families with gross incomes of $50,000 per year devote a smaller share of their after-tax income to child-rearing expenditures than those with incomes of $30,000 per year. The highest combined parental incomes that the BR4 measurements can reliably cover are: $27,350 gross per month using 2012 tax rates and $29,250 gross per month using 2013 tax rates. CPR, however, can easily extrapolate these amounts to higher incomes. The potential error in the extrapolation is relatively low for extrapolations up to $30,000 but increases as higher incomes are considered. When the Virginia schedule was developed, most states stopped their schedules at combined gross incomes of $10,000 per month. This was consistent with the economic data at the time.18 The existing Virginia guidelines, however, provides a three-tier formula for monthly incomes of $10,001 through $20,000; $20,001 through $50,000; and

17 For example, it applied to incomes below $42,000 per year in 1986 and now applies to incomes below $110,100 per year. This essentially means that the effective tax rate has increased for nominal incomes of $42,000 to $110,100 per year by the social security tax, which is 4.2 or 6.2 percent depending on whether the 2012 or 2013 rate is used. In dollars, this means an individual with $110,100 per year would be paying at least $3,720 per year more in social security tax than that individual would have paid in 1986. 18 See Williams, Robert G. (1987). Development of Guidelines for Child Support Orders, Final Report. Report to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Child Support Enforcement, National Center for State Courts, Williamsburg, Virginia.

more than $50,000. The Virginia formula is low relative to other states and the economic data.19 Updated Low-Income Adjustment Most income shares schedules, including the existing Virginia schedule and Schedule B, incorporate a self-support reserve. Schedule A includes an alternative low-income adjustment that is discussed in more detail later. Whether to include a low-income adjustment and the parameters of a low-income adjustment are mostly policy decisions. 20 The low-income adjustments shown in Schedules A and B are for illustrative purposes. The low-income adjustment shown in Schedule A or another low-income adjustment could be applied to the core of Schedule B or another schedule recommended by the Panel. Self-Support Reserve and Minimum Order The intent of the self-support reserve is to assure that obligors with low incomes retain sufficient income to meet their basic needs after paying the guidelines-determined award. Almost two-thirds (65%) of those participating in the Virginia guidelines survey believe that the guidelines amount should leave low-income noncustodial parents with a self-support reserve.21 For the purposes of the low-income adjustment, the schedule amounts are adjusted such that they are never more than the difference between the obligor’s after-tax income and the self-support reserve.22 In addition, most states ensure a minimum order amount for incomes where the self-support reserve is actually greater than the obligor’s after-tax income or almost equal to the obligor’s after-tax income. In all, there are three typical components to a self-support adjustment: the self-support reserve (SSR); the minimum order amount; and the phase-out of the SSR. Self-support reserve. Most states relate their self-support reserve to the federal poverty level (FPL) for one person. The existing Virginia schedule includes a self-support reserve of about $480 per month.23 The 2012 FPL for one person is $931 net per month. This is equivalent to $1,118 in gross earnings, which is less than full-time, earnings at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour (i.e., $1,256 per month).24 Some states use less

19 See September 26, 2011 powerpoint presentation, slides 49-51. 20 See September 26, 2011 powerpoint presentation, slides 52-62. 21 See June 12, 2012 powerpoint presentation to the Panel, Child Support Guidelines Survey and Results. 22 See slide 57 of September 26, 2011 powerpoint for an illustration of this adjustment. 23 The federal poverty level was $481 per month in 1988 and $458 per month in 1987. 24 The implicit outcome is that the minimum order would only apply to few and rare situations such as those who are involuntarily underemployed. This could be the situation of a parent who can only find part-time work at minimum wage. This occurs because Virginia guidelines limit income imputation and the application of the minimum order (see §20-108.1B(3) and §20-108.2B).

or more than the FPL. States that use a lesser amount tend to be lower income states and tend to offer limited or lower public assistance benefits to families in their states. A few states use higher amounts (e.g., 120 to 135% of the FPL). Most of these states set their state minimum wage above the federal minimum wage. Some of these states also relate the self-support reserve to gross income to account for taxes because the FPL is expressed as an after-tax amount. In addition, a few states index the self-support reserve to the FPL, which is updated annually. Most states, however, use the FPL in the year that they updated their guidelines. Minimum order. Minimum orders are intended for incomes near or below the self-support reserve. Existing schedule: the minimum order applies to incomes below $600 per month. Under an updated SSR (as shown in Schedule B): the minimum order applies to

incomes below $1,250 per month. The guidelines also provide that in some situations, a zero support award or a support award below the minimum order is appropriate.25 Virginia’s current minimum order is $65 per month. The mode among states is $50 per month. Only a few states have lower amounts and some states have higher amounts. Most states arrived at their minimum order through a policy decision, however, a few states (e.g., Indiana) relate their minimum order and low-income adjustment to research that finds that arrears accrue when the order exceeds 20 percent of the obligor’s gross income for one child and 28 percent of the obligor’s gross income for two or more children.26 Indiana uses these percentages at full-time minimum wage earnings and Indiana’s minimum order applies to gross incomes below $100 per week. Indiana’s minimum orders range from $12 per week for one child to $31 per week for eight children, but Indiana also provides that a zero order may be appropriate in some situations similar to those provided for by the Virginia guidelines. Other concerns that are emerging from guidelines reviews in other states is whether the state’s minimum order is too low and whether the minimum order should be higher when there are more children. For example, Iowa is considering increasing its minimum order of $10 per month pursuant public comment that the amount should be raised to an amount that can actually impact families and worth the time and effort to order and enforce. Like Iowa, some of the respondents to Virginia’s child support guidelines also thought Virginia’s $65 minimum order should be raised.27

25 See Virginia §20-108.2B. 26 For example, see Takayesu, Mark, A “Guideline“ to Improving Collections, Presentation to the National Child Support Enforcement Association Policy Briefing on February 10, 2012, Washington, D.C. 27 Respondents to the Virginia child support guidelines survey were mixed; 42 percent favored an increase to the $65 minimum order amount, 38 percent did not and 19 percent were neutral.

Phase-out of the SSR. Most states phase out the SSR by taking the lower of two guidelines calculations: the regular prorated share of the schedule amount; and, the difference (or a percentage difference) between the obligor’s after-tax income and the SSR. The calculation is invisible to the guidelines user and embedded in the schedule. It can also be made transparent in the worksheet and consider childcare expenses, the child’s health insurance premium and other additional expenses added to the obligor’s prorated share of the schedule amount. Most income shares states take a percentage of the difference between the obligor’s after-tax income and the SSR such that every additional dollar earned by an obligor is not assigned to child support.28 The most common percentages assigned to support are: 90 percent of the difference for one child; 91 percent of the difference for two children, and so forth. These are the percentages used in the existing Virginia schedule and Schedule B. The table below shows where the SSR is phased out by the number of children.

Monthly Income Threshold for the Self-Support Reserve (i.e., SSR is phased out by the following income)

1 Child 2 Children 3 Children 4 Children 5 Children 6 Children Existing $700 $900 $1,150 $1,350 $1,550 $1,600

Schedule B $1,550 $1,900 $2,150 $2,350 $2,600 $2,650

Alternative, Updated Low-Income Adjustment As evident in the side-by-side comparisons between the existing schedule and Schedule B, updating the SSR to the current FPL will significantly reduce the schedule amounts at low incomes. One way to mitigate the reduction is to set the SSR at a lower level. Another way is to use an alternative adjustment. Schedule A shows an adjustment that was developed using the same considerations that Indiana did. Schedule A uses empirical evidence that suggests that arrears accrue when support is more than 20 percent of the obligor’s gross income and there is one child and more than 28 percent of the obligor’s gross income when there are two or more children. To this end, the schedule amounts at $1,250 per month (full-time, minimum wage earnings) are set at 17 percent for one child; 21 percent for two children; 23 percent for three children; 25 percent for four children; 27 percent for five children; and 28 percent for six children. Below monthly gross incomes of $1,250 per month the amounts are interpolated with the minimum order amounts. The minimum order for incomes of $1 through $800 per month29 are: $65 for one child;

28 See slide 57 of Venohr’s September 26, 2011 powerpoint for an illustration of this adjustment. 29 This range would include parents with a minimum earning potential of $7.25 per hour (minimum wage) for 25 hours per week. According to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics,

$70 for two children; and $75 for three or more children. These are the amounts shown in Schedule A. They are not based on economic evidence, but illustrate what a reasonable increase would be pursuant survey respondents that favored an increase. The low-income adjustment is phased out in Schedule A by assigning the following percentages of each additional dollar of gross income to the schedule amount: 34 percent for one child; 56 percent for two children; 66 percent for three children; 68 percent for four children; and 76 percent for five and more children. These percentages provide a smooth transition to the BR4 measurements at lower incomes than the updated self-support reserve in Schedule B does. This effectively phases out the low-income adjustment in Schedule A at the following incomes: $1,450 for one child; $1,600 for two children; $1,750 for three children; $1850 for four and five children; and $2,000 for six children.

COMPARISONS In viewing the comparisons, it is helpful to note that the vast majority of child support orders cover one or two children. According to Virginia Division of Child Support Enforcement data as of August 2012, the frequency of cases by number of children are: One child: 76% of cases; Two children: 19% of cases; Three children: 4% of cases; and, Four or more children: 1% of cases. This is the number of children on the case and does not count all of the parent’s children if a parent has multiple cases or children with more than one partner. Schedule Amount Comparisons Side-by-side comparisons of the existing schedule to Schedules A and B are at the end of this briefing. These are proposed changes to the schedule, not the order amount. The actual change to the order amount would depend on case circumstances such as the parents’ combined income, each parent’s share of combined income, permissible income deductions, the cost of the child’s health insurance and which parent provided it, the cost of the child’s work-related childcare expenses, and other adjustments permissible under the guidelines. The table below shows the average change and range of the changes proposed for the core parts of Schedules A and B; that is, above the low-income adjustment and up to combined gross incomes of $10,000 per month.

Schedule Increases Schedules A and B mostly increase schedule amounts. The average increase under Schedule A is $75 per month or 8.9 percent. The average change under Schedule B is $30 per month or 4.5 percent. The areas of increases are bulleted below. One child: All incomes above low-income adjustment under both Schedule A and B. Two children: All incomes above the low-income adjustment under Schedule A. All incomes above low-income adjustment under Schedule B except for a pocket around combined incomes of about $9,000 to $10,000 per month. Three children: All incomes above the low-income adjustment under Schedule A except for around combined incomes of about $8,000 to $9,000 per month. Schedule B has a similar pattern, but the exception area is broader (i.e., $6,000 to $11,000 per month). Four or more children: The patterns for four or more children are similar to that of three children. Schedule Decreases Schedules A and B both indicate decreases. At low incomes, most decreases are attributable to updating the low-income adjustment. At higher middle incomes, there are some anomalous decreases for two or more children. They occur where the prototype income shares schedule developed for the 1984-87 National Child Support Guidelines project, which is the basis of the existing Virginia schedule, is extrapolated to higher incomes. This is also the income affected by the higher FICA income cap and the incomes at which families, according to current data, begin to have some savings. Any

of these factors could contribute to the decreases. For example, the increased FICA cap leaves families with less after-tax income available for child-rearing expenditures. The areas above the low-income adjustment with decreases are bulleted below. One child: None. Two children: Schedule B produces small decreases (i.e., up to $31 or 2.0%) at combined gross incomes of $8,850 to$10,100 per month. Three children: Schedule A produces decreases (i.e., up to $69 or 3.6%) at combined monthly gross incomes of $7,950 to $9,950 per month. Schedule B produces decreases (i.e., up to $136 or 7.1%) at combined gross incomes of $6,100 to$11,200 per month. Four or more children: The patterns are almost identical to those for three children. Case Comparisons There are three sets of comparisons of the schedule amounts. The first set uses median earnings of Virginia workers by gender and highest educational attainment.30 The second set considers a range of high income cases in which the parents have disparate income or equal income. The third set considers very low-income cases more typical to the DCSE caseload. The comparisons assume sole custody, no income adjustments and no add-ons for additional support such as the child’s health insurance. Comparisons by Median Earnings by Highest Education Attainment There are five levels of educational attainment considered: less than a high school degree31 high school graduate or GED32 some college or associate’s degree33 Bachelor’s degree;34 and Graduate or professional degree.35

30 Median annual earnings are for Virginia workers as reported by the 2005 U.S. Census American Community Survey. 31$25,272 per year for males and $14,215 for females. 32$32,531 per year for males and $21,522 for females. 33$41,531 per year for males and $27,701 for females. 34$61,943 per year for males and $39,296 for females. 35$86,860 per year for males and $50,964 for females.

It is assumed that the noncustodial parent is male and the custodial parent is female.36 In general, these case examples show small increases that would bring Virginia more in line with the guidelines amounts among its bordering states. For example, the proposed schedule increases for one child, which is the vast majority of cases, under Schedule B are: Less than a high school degree: The proposed increase is $42 per month. High school graduate or GED: The proposed increase is $50 per month. Some college or associate’s degree: The proposed increase is $43 per month. Bachelor’s degree: The proposed increase is $24 per month. Graduate or professional degree: The proposed increase is $70 per month.

The District Columbia amounts are much more at very high incomes because of the District’s adjustment for higher housing expenses.

36 According to Virginia DCSE case data, 88% of noncustodial parents are male and 93% of custodial parents are female. The disparity likely results from mothers who are required to pay child support when their children live with a third party.

Noncustodial parent earns $1,000 per month and custodial parent earns nothing. Noncustodial parent earns $1,256 per month (full-time earnings from minimum wage

of $7.25 per hour) and custodial parent earns nothing. Both parents earn minimum wage ($1,256 per month).

The last two cases are more typical to the IV-D caseload. The comparisons show wide variations in the order amounts because of variations in low-income adjustments, particularly among states.
