Child Care
Two child care issues have received extensive attention during the reauthorization period: whether states have enough money to pay for care and whether available care is of sufficient quality.
Child Education
Child Outcomes
Children are a majority of the TANF caseload, and the well-being of children has been introduced in reauthorization proposals as a possible additional goal of TANF.
Child Support
Stronger enforcement and collection of child support, and increasing the amount of child support collections passed through to families are important issues regarding child support.
Child Welfare
Recent state demonstration projects have studied the waiver of certain requirements of titles IV-B and IV-E, the sections of the Act that govern foster care, adoption assistance, independent living, child welfare services, promoting safe and stable families, family preservation and support, and related expenses for program administration, training and automated systems.
