Title: State Access and Visitation
Grant Application.
OMB No.: 0970—NEW.
Description
The Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA) created the ‘‘Grants to States
for Access and Visitation’’ program (AV
grant program). Funding for the program
began in FY 1997 with a capped, annual
entitlement of $10 million. The
statutory goal of the program is to
provide funds to states that will enable
them to provide services for the purpose
of increasing noncustodial parent (NCP)
access to and visitation with their
children. State governors decide which
state entity will be responsible for
implementing the AV grant program and
the state determines who will be served,
what services will be provided, and
whether the services will be statewide
or in local jurisdictions. The statute
specifies certain activities which may be
funded, including: Voluntary and
mandatory mediation, counseling,
education, the development of parenting
plans, supervised visitation, and the
development of guidelines for visitation
and alternative custody arrangements.
Even though OCSE manages this
program, the funding for the AV grant
is separate from funding for federal and
state administration of the Child
Support program.
Section 469B(e)(3) of the Social
Security Act (Pub. L. 104–193) requires
that each state receiving an Access and
Visitation (AV) grant award monitor,
evaluate and report on such programs in
accordance with regulations (45 CFR
part 303). The AV Grant Program Terms
and Conditions Addendum references
administration of the grant program in
accordance with an approved state
application. Additionally, the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance, states that
there is an application requirement for
Grants to States for Access and
Visitation Programs (93.597). The
application process will assist OCSE in
complying with this requirement and
will reflect a greater emphasis on
program efficiency, coordination of
services, and increased attention to
family safety.
This new, modified application
reflects a greater emphasis on program
efficiency, coordination of services, and
increased attention to family safety.
This application will cover three fiscal
years. The applications will include
information on how grantees plan to:
Spend grant funds, monitor service
delivery, and implement safety
protocols to ensure client and staff
safety. OCSE will review the
applications to ensure compliance with
federal regulation and provide enhanced
targeted technical assistance. The
application will also assist states in
strategic planning of services and
knowledge sharing.
OCSE will review the applications to
ensure that planned services meet the
requirements laid out in section
469B(e)(3) of the Social Security Act
(Pub. L. 104–193). This review will
include monitoring of program
compliance and the safe delivery of
services. In addition to monitoring, the
report will also assist in OCSE’s ability
to provide technical assistance to states
that would like assistance.
