Child welfare block grants had been\nincluded in various versions of welfare reform, but were not part of the final legislation signed into\nlaw (the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, P.L. 104-193 ). Instead,\nthe welfare law made relatively minor amendments to child welfare programs under the Social\nSecurity Act, and Congress subsequently passed separate legislation to reauthorize the Child Abuse\nPrevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) ( P.L. 104-235 ). This report describes the free-standing\nCAPTA reauthorization and the child welfare-related provisions in welfare reform. The report also\nbriefly discusses the child welfare block grants that were considered but not enacted.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/96-823", "sha1": "f7497ec00396626b09718ee9e5aa3b986a17bf9c", "filename": "files/19961011_96-823_f7497ec00396626b09718ee9e5aa3b986a17bf9c.pdf", "images": null }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/19961011_96-823_f7497ec00396626b09718ee9e5aa3b986a17bf9c.html" } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [] }
