Bill overview
The COVID-19 Diaper Assistance Act provides $200 million in additional funding to the Social Services Block Grant Program to help families afford diapers and diapering supplies. This funding aims to address a critical need exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, where diaper banks are struggling to meet demand and many families face financial hardship in purchasing diapers. The funds will be distributed to states for direct distribution to families in need through social service agencies and nonprofits, supplementing existing state resources.
