In fiscal year 2003, subparts 1 and 2 of Title IV-B of the Social Security Act provided $697 million in federal funding for services to help families address problems that lead to child abuse and neglect. This report describes (1) the services provided and populations served under subparts 1 and 2; (2) federal oversight of subpart 1; and (3) existing research on the effectiveness of services unique to subpart 1--that is, when states used subpart 1, but not subpart 2, to fund programs in a particular service category. The report focuses primarily on subpart 1 because little research exists on this subpart, while studies have been conducted on subpart 2. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-956/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-956.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-956/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-956.pdf GAO-03-956 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-956 Other Written Product GAO-03-956; Child Welfare: Enhanced Federal Oversight of Title IV-B Could Provide States Additional Information to Improve Services; Child abuse Children Federal funds Federal/state relations Funds management Surveys Title 45 Part 1357 45 CFR Part 1357
