“What is a child?” This question has been debated for centuries. The definition of a “child” can vary depending on the context in which it is being used, and federal regulations are no exception to this rule. In order to understand how children are defined according to federal regulations, we must first go over what defines a “child” according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS states that:
1) A person under 18 years old; or 2) A pregnant woman who expects her birth will occur within 300 days from the date of application for assistance or benefits; OR 3) A single parent with one or more children less than 18 years old living in the home.
During the process of creating federal regulations, HHS determined that a homeless child is defined as someone who:
does not have known parents; or – has one parent and does not currently reside with them; OR – resides in an institution for neglected children.
A homeless child would be eligible to receive cash assistance through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The definition of “child” according to this section also includes pregnant women without documentation if they are within 300 days from applying for benefits or assistance.” This means that any person under 18 years old can apply at anytime during their pregnancy if they meet the above requirements. If you do not plan on having your baby while receiving TANF, you must apply within the 300 days of your delivery.

I am not a parent, and I don’t have any children. But if you are reading this blog post, there is a good chance that you do. As of the writing date of this blog post, it appears that there are more than 2 million children in the United States who are under 18 years old. The definition for what constitutes as a child differs depending on where you live in America. This blog post will explore how federal regulations define children from birth to adulthood.
It’s difficult enough being an adult these days with all the rules we need to follow (I’m still trying to figure out what qualifies as “too high” when driving over state lines). We’re supposed to know everything about our bodies too? That sounds like too much, especially when we’re just trying to live our lives.
But it’s also important to know about all the rules and regulations that are in place for children, because kids will be living with these consequences long after they’ve become adults (or been deemed “too old” by society). And let me tell you—kids seem like such carefree people until they start getting into trouble!
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about children is their innocence. Children are thought of as the purest form of love and joy, but what happens when they aren’t? How do we define them then? The Federal Regulations for Child Labor defines a child as anyone who has not attained the age of 18 years. They can work in any occupation that does not jeopardize their health or safety. This article will dive deep into this topic, examining the regulations and how it affects them today.
There are so many laws on the books concerning what is appropriate behavior for a child or what constitutes as abuse. Some of them may seem over-the-top if you never had any experience raising children before. But don’t worry: I’m here to break it down according to federal law! When reading this blog post please keep in mind that it does not pertain to all laws, only federal ones.
