Objective
The Title IV-E Foster Care program helps states, Indian tribes, tribal organizations and tribal consortia (tribes) to provide safe and stable out-of-home care for children under the jurisdiction of the state or tribal child welfare agency until the children are returned home safely, placed with adoptive families, or placed in other planned arrangements for permanency. The program provides funds to assist with the costs of foster care maintenance for eligible children; administrative costs to manage the program; and training for public agency staff, foster parents and eligible professional partner agency staff. In addition, $3 million is reserved for technical assistance and plan development/implementation grants to eligible tribes.
Type of Assistance
A - Formula Grants
Applicant Eligibility
Funds are available to states (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa) and to tribes with approved Title IV-E plans. For Plan Development/Implementation Grants: Eligibility is limited to Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia. The terms Indian tribe and tribal organization have the meanings given those terms in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, Pub. L. 93-638, 25 U.S.C. § 450b. Also see sections 479B(a) and 476(c)(2)(A)(iii) of the Social Security Act.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Children meeting eligibility criteria for the former Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (except for up to a 12-month period for those children placed with a parent residing in a licensed residential family-based treatment facility for substance abuse treatment) whose removal and placement in foster care are in accordance with a voluntary placement agreement or judicial determinations to the effect that continuation in the home would be contrary to the child's welfare and that reasonable efforts were made to prevent the removal (or that such efforts were not necessary), and whose placement and care are the responsibility of the state or tribal agency administering the Title IV-E program. Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, a youth may not be required to leave foster care solely due to age or failure to meet the education and employment conditions from December 27, 2020 through September 30, 2021. Any youth who left or leaves foster care due to reaching the state/tribe’s maximum age or a failure to meet the education and employment conditions during the COVID-19 public health emergency (January 27, 2020 thru at least July 19, 2021 and subject to extension up to September 30, 2021) is also permitted to voluntarily re-enter foster care without regard to age or the education and employment conditions. See section 472 of the Social Security Act and the Code of Federal Regulations at 45 CFR §1356.71 for additional details on program eligibility requirements.
