Saratoga Springs, NY- At a recent Congress At Your Corner meeting in Queensbury, NY, local Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand was approached by several single mothers in despair after being taxed on their child support payments. After researching the issue, Congresswoman Gillibrand discovered that in 2005, Congress passed legislation requiring the states to charge an annual $25 fee for child support payments collected by the Child Support Enforcement program.  As the mothers Congresswoman Gillibrand spoke with pointed out, $25 is a week’s worth of lunches for their sons and daughters.
