A BILL 
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to limit

Section 505(d) of the Federal Water Pollution Con-

for children to be eligible for AFDC benefits. As a 
result of this very strict requirement, many children 
in the Federal foster care and adoption assistance 
programs are ineligible to receive a wide range of 
Federal benefits, services, and activities. For exam-
ple, this outdated, restrictive standard prevents the 
State of Georgia from providing assistance to more 
than half of the children in the child welfare system. 
(5) Forced to adhere to a stagnant standard, 
States increasingly struggle to administer Federal 
foster care and adoption assistance programs and 
provide services to those children most in need. As 
inflation increases, fewer children are eligible to re-
ceive Federal benefits, and States struggle to pro-
vide services from other, limited local and State re-
sources. 
(6) Although the AFDC look-back standard still 
applies to the Federal foster care program, the Fos-
tering Connections to Success and Increasing Adop-
tions Act of 2008 will have completely eliminated the 
AFDC look-back standard in the Federal adoption 
assistance program by 2018.
