Title: Form CB–496: Title IV–E
Programs Quarterly Financial Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0205.
Description: This is a financial report
submitted following the end of each
fiscal quarter by each State or Tribe with
an approved title IV–E plan
administering any of three title IV–E
entitlement grant programs—Foster
Care, Adoption Assistance or
Guardianship Assistance.
The purpose of this form is to enable
each State or Tribe to meet its statutory
and regulatory requirement to report
program expenditures made in the
preceding fiscal quarter and to estimate
program expenditures to be made in the
upcoming fiscal quarter. This form also
allows States and Tribes to report the
actual and estimated average monthly
number of children assisted in each of
the three IV–E entitlement grant
programs in the preceding and
upcoming fiscal quarters, respectively.
The Administration for Children and
Families provides Federal funding at the
rate of 50 percent for nearly all
allowable and legitimate administrative
costs of these programs and at other
funding rates for other specific
categories of costs as detailed in Federal
statute and regulations.
The information collected in this
report is used by this agency to calculate
quarterly Federal grant awards and to
enable oversight of the financial
management of the programs.
With this request, we are soliciting
public comments on revising the form to
incorporate changes to title IV–E
programs made in accordance with the
September 2014 enactment of Public
Law 113–183, the ‘‘Preventing Sex
Trafficking and Strengthening Families
Act.’’ This includes the new
requirement at section 473(a)(8)(B) of
the Social Security Act to report
annually on the methodology used to
calculate adoption savings due to the
application of differing title IV–E
eligibility criteria for children
designated as an ‘‘applicable child’’
under section 473(e) along with an
accounting of the amount of and the
expenditure of any such savings.
Respondents: States (including Puerto
Rico and the District of Columbia) and
Tribes * with approved title IV–E plans.
(* An estimated 15 Tribes have or will
have approved title IV–E plans within
the next 3-year period.)
