Summary:

The Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) program focuses on meeting the educational, social service, and health needs of vulnerable expectant and parenting individuals and their families during pregnancy and the postnatal period. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA; P.L. 111-148, as amended) established the program and provided $25 million in annual mandatory funding for each of FY2010 through FY2019. The law identifies eligible populations as expectant and parenting teens, college students, and women of any age who experience domestic violence, sexual violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
