SAN DIEGO  – University of San Diego (USD) School of Law Children’s Advocacy Institute’s (CAI) National Policy Director Amy Harfeld was quoted in an NPR article titled, “Trump administration tells states to end 'orphan tax' on foster kids.” The Trump Administration has directed states to stop taking Social Security benefit checks from children and youth in foster care—a practice critics call the “orphan tax.” In a December letter to governors, Alex Adams, the assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services who oversees federal child welfare policy, urged states to cease withholding survivor benefits that are paid to children whose parent has died but which many states currently keep to help cover foster care costs. According to the article, Amy Harfeld has long pushed for reform. She says conservatives are joining because they see the question as "government overreach into kids' private assets. Because it wasn't the state's money to take and they took it anyway."
