Reducing Administrative Burden for Child Welfare Agencies Act
This bill requires the federal government to reduce paperwork for state and tribal child welfare agencies receiving funds under the Social Security Act. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to eliminate duplicate reporting, aim for a 15% reduction in required paperwork hours, and adjust requirements based on agency input. Agencies must be notified of changes within two years, and the Secretary must report progress to Congress within three years. The law directly affects child welfare programs managing federal grants, aiming to free staff time for direct service work.
