Miller, Laurie
This Child Care Action Campaign (CCAC) issue brief details an audio conference convened by CCAC and the Child Care Law Center. Issues discussed include changes and implications resulting from the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. Areas covered, in a question-and-answer format, include: (1) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and how it replaces AFDC, Emergency Assistance, and JOBS (Job Opportunities and Basic Skills) program allocation with block grants to states; (2) work requirements for both states and individuals; (3) funding particulars; (4) child care quality; (5) child care funding; (6) child and adult care food programs; (7) the new law's impact on child care for immigrants; and (8) suggestions for child care advocates on how to influence decisions.
