OMB No.: 0980–0140. Description: Under section 471(a)(16) of title IV–B of the Social Security Act (the Act), to be eligible for payments, states must have an approved title IV– B 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–F 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.
