Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act
The Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act amends the Social Security Act to improve services for youth in foster care who are pregnant or have children. It requires states to connect these eligible families with evidence-based home visiting programs and mandates that state officials certify they have processes to share information about these services. Additionally, the bill allows states to use specific funding to provide tailored case management and resource coordination for expectant or parenting youth who have experienced foster care. These changes take effect one year after the law is enacted and apply to payments made under approved plans on or after that date.
