Title: Child and Family Services Plan
(CFSP), Annual Progress and Services
Review (APSR), and Annual Budget
Expenses Request and Estimated
Expenditures (CFS–101).
OMB No.: 0980–0047.
Description: Under title IV–B,
subparts 1 and 2, of the Social Security
Act (the Act), States, Territories, and
Tribes are required to submit a Child
and Family Services Plan (CFSP). The
CFSP lays the groundwork for a system
of coordinated, integrated, and
culturally relevant family services for
the subsequent five years (45 CFR
1357.15(a)(1)). The CFSP outlines
initiatives and activities the State, Tribe
or territory will carry out in
administering programs and services to
promote the safety, permanency, and
well-being of children and families. By
June 30 of each year, States, Territories,
and Tribes are also required to submit
an Annual Progress and Services Report
(APSR) and a financial report called the
CFS–101. The APSR is a Yearly report
that discusses progress made by a State,
Territory or Tribe in accomplishing the
goals and objectives cited in its CFSP
(45 CFR 1357.16(a)). The APSR contains
new and updated information about
service needs and organizational
capacities throughout the five-year plan
period. The CFS–101 has three parts.
Part I is an annual budget request for the
upcoming fiscal year. Part II includes a
summary of planned expenditures by
program area for the upcoming fiscal
year, the estimated number of
individuals or families to be served, and
the geographical service area. Part III
includes actual expenditures by
program area, numbers of families and
individuals served by program area, and
the geographic areas served for the last
complete fiscal year.
The Child and Family Services
Improvement Act of 2006 amended Title
IV–B, subparts 1 and 2, adding a
number of requirements that affect
reporting through the APSR and the
CFS–101. Of particular note, the law
added a provision requiring States
(including Puerto Rico and the District
of Columbia) to report data on
caseworker visits (section 424(e) of the
Act). States must provide annual data
on (1) the percentage of children in
foster care under the responsibility of
the State who were visited on a monthly
basis by the caseworker handling the
case of the child; and (2) the percentage
of the visits that occurred in the
residence of the child. In addition, by
June 30, 2008, States must set target
percentages and establish strategies to
meet the goal that; by October 1, 2011;
at least 90 percent of the children in
foster care are visited by their
caseworkers on a monthly basis and that
the majority of these visits occur in the
residence of the child (section
424(e)(2)(A) of the Act).
Respondents: States, Territories, and
Tribes must complete the CFSP, APSR,
and CFS–101. Tribes and territories are
exempted from the monthly caseworker
visits reporting requirement of the
APSR. There are approximately 180
Tribal entities that are eligible for IV–B
funding. There are 52 States (including
Puerto Rico and the District of
Columbia) that must complete the CFSP,
APSR, and CFS–101. There are a total of
232 possible respondents.
