Bill > S2777

This bill, the Family First Transition Act, aims to assist states, tribes, territories, counties, and cities in implementing the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA). The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Temporarily suspending the requirement that at least 50% of a state's reimbursement for prevention and family services must be for programs and services that meet the "well-supported practice" evidence standard, allowing supported practices to be considered "well-supported" for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. 2. Providing $500 million in transition funding for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to help states and other jurisdictions implement the FFPSA, including activities previously funded under demonstration projects. 3. Ensuring funding certainty for states that were operating demonstration projects under the Social Security Act, by providing them with a percentage of their previous maximum capped allocation for fiscal years 2020 and 2021. 4. Requiring states receiving transition funds to report on how the funds are used to implement the FFPSA and continue activities previously funded under demonstration projects. The bill also renames the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program under the Social Security Act to the "MaryLee Allen Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program."
