SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 471(e)(4)(E) of the Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 671), as amended by Public Law 115-123, requires State and Tribal child welfare agencies to collect and report to ACF information on children receiving prevention and family services and programs. Title IV-E Agencies must report the following on a bi-annual basis:
• The specific services or programs provided;
• The total expenditures for each of the services or programs provided;
• The duration of the services or programs provided; and
• If the child was identified in a prevention plan as a candidate for foster care:
? The child's placement status at the beginning, and at the end, of the 12-month period that begins on the date the child was identified as a candidate for foster care in a prevention plan; and
? Whether the child entered foster care during the initial 12-month period and during the subsequent 12-month period.
To date, approximately 83 percent of the Title IV-E Agencies have chosen to provide these prevention services.
The data collected will continue to inform Federal policy decisions, program management, and responses to Congressional and Departmental inquiries. Specifically, the data will provide information about the use and availability of prevention services to children to prevent the need for foster care placement. The data contains personally identifiable information (date of birth and race/ethnicity).
Respondents: Title IV-E Agencies.
