Title: Case Plan Requirement, Title
IV–E of the Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0980–0140.
Description: Under section 471(a)(16)
of title IV–E of the Social Security Act
(the Act), to be eligible for payments,
states must have an approved title
IV–E plan that provides for the
development of a case plan for each
child for whom the State receives foster
care maintenance payments and that
provides a case review system that
meets the requirements in section 475(5)
and 475(6) of the Act. The Fostering
Connections to Success and Increasing
Adoptions Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–
351) added a new section 479B to the
Act providing authority at 479B(b) for
an Indian Tribe, tribal organization or
tribal consortia (hereafter ‘‘Tribe’’) to
elect to operate a title IV–E program
with an approved title IV–E plan. Tribes
are to operate a program in the same
manner as states and must provide for
a case plan for each child and for a case
review system.
The case review system assures that
each child has a case plan designed to
achieve placement in a safe setting that
is the least restrictive (most family-like)
setting available and in close proximity
to the child’s parental home, consistent
with the best interest and special needs
of the child. Through these
requirements, States and Tribes also
comply, in part, with title IV–B section
422(b) of the Act, which assures certain
protections for children in foster care.
The case plan is a written document
that provides a narrative description of
the child-specific program of care.
Federal regulations at 45 CFR 1356.21(g)
and section 475(1) of the Act delineate
the specific information that should be
addressed in the case plan. The
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) does not specify a
recordkeeping format for the case plan
nor does ACF require submission of the
document to the Federal government.
Case plan information is recorded in a
