Krajewski discussing his bill in the House Children and Youth Committee meeting

Harrisburg, Pa. — Bipartisan legislation sponsored by state Reps. Rick Krajewski and Sheryl Delozier supporting youths in foster care has received unanimous approval from the House Children and Youth Committee. The bill is now awaiting a vote from the full House.

The bill, HB 151, would prevent Pa. agencies from intercepting Social Security benefits for foster youth such as survivors’ benefits. Instead of intercepting these benefits, they would be required to be placed in a savings account to be given to the individual once they exit foster care.
