How Federal Legislation Impacts Child Welfare Service Delivery

Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996

Record Description
This statute ended the Aid to Families with Dependent Children welfare entitlement program, replacing it with the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant program, which provides cash assistance to needy families and requires families to make verifiable work efforts to leave welfare. It also allowed funds to be used to encourage the maintenance and formation of two-parent families. A second block grant under the statute provided funds to states to subsidize child care for low-income families.

Question from Ohio Department of Job and Family Services

Question Text

Our state legislature would like to utilize TANF funding to train child welfare workers on adoption issues. The goal would be to enhance caseworker knowledge of adoption issues and assist children and families through the adoption process. Focus would be for child only cases and children in the child welfare system to help them stabilize their living situation. Are any states currently using TANF funds for adoption services? Training? Any assistance or direction you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Question from PeerTA

Question Text

Many States are currently using internet technology as an information tool to support their TANF, Child Care, Child Support and/or Child Welfare programs. Have any States' use of the Web progressed to the 'transaction' or 'commerce' phase to assist in providing direct services to their clients?
