U.S. Adults Provided $17.5 Billion in Support to Parents in 2020

Roughly 4.3 million U.S. adults provided voluntary financial support to parents in 2020 ? almost as many as the 4.4 million who made mandatory child support payments.

But the amount of money spent on parental support was significantly lower: $17.5 billion compared to $30.6 billion for child support, according to the U.S. Census Bureau?s 2021 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP).

Estimates from the 2014-2021 SIPP show that over this eight-year period, annual support provided to parents ranged from a low of $10.4 billion in 2014 to a high of $27.9 billion in 2018.
