114-hr-5477 114 hr 5477 Look-back Elimination Act of 2016 Families 2016-06-14 2016-06-16 Referred to the Subcommittee on Human Resources. House Rep. Lewis, John [D-GA-5] GA D L000287 1 Look-back Elimination Act of 2016 This bill amends part E (Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSAct) to eliminate the requirement that, to be eligible for foster care maintenance payments, a child would have been eligible for aid under the former Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC) (predecessor of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program under part A of SSAct title IV) at the time of removal from the home. The sense of the Congress is expressed that: (1) the AFDC eligibility requirement for federal foster care and adoption assistance benefits should be eliminated and replaced with income eligibility standards that are based on modern, balanced criteria that treat all children equally; and (2) the Department of Health and Human Services should collaborate with Members of Congress and child welfare advocates in developing any modification standards. 2023-01-11T13:32:47Z
