It has now been three months since the revised Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines took effect on August 9, 2013. These changes included raising the self support reserve (SSR) and amending the guidelines to reflect current economic data.
This has been the first change to the “guidelines” since last update in May 2010.
Since the change, at most income levels we have seen new Orders increased slightly over what they would have been prior to the changes. The guidelines are available for review here at rule 1910.16-3.
