Children: Maintenance
(asked on 23rd November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, of the 198,200 proactively selected Child Support Agency (CSA) cases and the 16,200 reactively selected CSA cases which had completed the case closure process at the end of June 2016, in how many cases former CSA arrears were (a) written off and (b) transferred to the Child Maintenance Service.
The table below shows the number of selected cases which had completed the case closure process as of the end of June 2016, detailed by the number of cases which have had CSA arrears written off and the number of cases where CSA arrears have been transferred to the Child Maintenance Service.
| Number of proactively selected cases | Number of reactively selected cases | Total selected cases |
CSA arrears written off | 48,100 | 4,600 | 52,700 |
CSA arrears transferred to the Child Maintenance Service | 76,700 | 9,100 | 85,800 |
Notes:
- Figures rounded to nearest 100
- Figures as at 30th June 2016. Selected cases may have CSA arrears written off after this date.
- Cases that have had CSA arrears written off may not have had the entirety of their arrears written off. Cases can therefore have both CSA arrears written off and CSA arrears transferred to the Child Maintenance Service.
