Up with Children – Down by the Boardwalk 45

Up with Children – Down by the Boardwalk 46 Projecting Results Nationally In FY2009, 4.0 million W-4 matches were returned to States for FCR case participants, representing 1.8 million unique NCP and PFs 1.8 million of these matches were eligible for the study samples Estimated $428 million collected in FY2010 from NDNH W-4 data

Up with Children – Down by the Boardwalk 47 EA Studies – Survival Rates of Collections from IWOs After 4 months, less than half of IWOs from W-4 data continue to produce collections. In month 12, approximately 21% of IWOs are still collecting money.
