In recent years, “New Hire” information provided by Maine employers has helped increase child support collected by

payroll deductions from $35 million in 1995, when New Hire Reporting was enacted, to over $65 million in fiscal year

2004. This has made a great difference in the lives of many children who otherwise might not have received the financial

support to which they are entitled.
