Proposed Projects
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.: 0970–0426
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,
including, as applicable, those activities
conducted under the John H. Chafee
Foster Care Independence Program
(Section 477 of the Act) and the State
grant authorized by the Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act. 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.
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
CFSP/APSR. There are approximately
189 Tribal entities that currently receive
IV–B funding. There are 53 States
(including Puerto Rico, the District of
Columbia, and the Virgin Islands) that
must complete the CFSP, APSR, and
CFS–101. There are a total of 242
possible respondents.
