Bill > S2926

This bill aims to amend the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a family recovery and reunification program replication project. The project would help reunify families and protect children whose parents or guardians have a substance use disorder and have temporarily lost custody of their children. The bill outlines the key components of the program, which would use a recovery coach model to provide assessments, assistance accessing benefits, case management, and other services to support parents or guardians in their recovery and reunification efforts. The bill also requires the Secretary to conduct an evaluation of the program, including a pilot phase, an impact study, and an implementation study, and to publish the results.
