Summary

Amends part A (Aid to Families With Dependent Children) of title IV of the Social Security Act to require a State plan to deny assistance to an individual under age 18 who is not and has never been married and who is responsible for the care of a dependent child (or is pregnant), unless such individual lives with a parent or legal guardian.
