Title: Statewide Automated Child
Welfare Information System (SACWIS)
Assessment Review Guide (SARG).
OMB No.: 0970–0159.
Description: For HHS to fulfill its
obligation to effectively serve the
nation’s Adoption and Foster Care
populations, and to report meaningful
and reliable information to Congress
about the extent of problems facing
these children and the effectiveness of
assistance provided to this population,
the agency must have access to timely
and accurate information about child
welfare service populations and child
welfare services. Section 476(b)of the
Social Security Act requires that States
submit statistical reports for child
welfare populations, and Section 479 of
the Act details State responsibilities to
report specific information related to
child abuse and neglect. CFR 1355.52
provides funding authority for statewide
automated child welfare information
systems (SACWIS) that meet Federal
requirements for child welfare data
collection. If a State chooses to
implement a SACWIS, that system
serves as the primary data source for
Federal reporting. Currently, states use
their SACWIS to support their efforts to
meet the following Federal reporting
requirements related to child welfare:
the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis
and Reporting System (AFCARS)
required by section 479(b)(2) of the
Social Security Act; the National Child
PO 00000

Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS); Child Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Act (CAPTA); and the Chafee
Independent Living Program’s National
Youth in Transition Database (NYTD).
These systems also support state efforts
to provide the information to conduct
the Child and Family Service Reviews.
Currently, forty-two States and the
District of Columbia have developed, or
are developing, a SACWIS with Federal
financial participation.
45 CFR 1355.55 provides for
continuing review, assessment and
inspection of SACWIS. The purpose of
this review is to determine whether the
system, as described in the approved
Advance Planning Document has been
adequately completed and conforms to
applicable regulations and policies.
To initiate a review, States complete
and submit the SACWIS Assessment
Review Guide (SARG) and other system
documentation when they have
completed system development and the
system is operational statewide. The
SARG template provides a format for
State description of system
functionality, operation, and outputs
such as reports. The additional
materials submitted as part of this
process, such as system design
documentation, are typically readily
available to the State as a result of good
project management practices.
The information collected in the
SACWIS Assessment Review Guide will
allow Federal reviewers to determine if
the State’s SACWIS meets the
requirements for title IV–E Federal
Financial Participation (FFP) defined at
45 CFR 1355.50, and that systems meet
the goals and objectives of the approved
Advance Planning Documents (APD)
and conforms to the schedule, budget,
