Module 1 Summary

In Module 1 we took a brief overview of the financial realities faced by many individuals in the United States, and how fines and fees can compound the challenge for those in challenging situations.

As we move forward, we will build on this understanding to explore when and how to effectively assess an individual’s ability to pay, taking into account the unique circumstances of each individual.

The next modules will guide you through practical considerations for making ability to pay calculations, providing you with actionable steps to implement in your jurisdiction.
