Family Poverty is Not Child Neglect Act aims to prevent child separation from parents due to poverty.

The Family Poverty is Not Child Neglect Act amends the Social Security Act to ensure child protective services do not separate children from parents solely due to poverty. It mandates that states develop or improve services to keep families together, such as housing assistance or unemployment support. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must report on the effects of poverty on child welfare and recommend legislation to prevent child separations.
