SJM 8025: Foster care financing
Requesting that Congress reform current federal financial structure for foster care.
Summary
- Congress is requested to reform the current federal financial structure for foster care, especially Title IV-E of the Social Security Act. This request is made to allow states the flexibility to use more of their federal funds for other child welfare services besides foster care maintenance and to provide federal funding for all children who are victims of abuse or neglect regardless of income.
