and Children’s Health Insurance
Program. All forms are to be filed on a
quarterly basis and need to be certified
by the States to the CMS. The forms
consist of CMS–21 and –21B, CMS–37,
and CMS–64.
Forms CMS–21 and –21B provide
CMS with the information necessary to
issue quarterly grant awards, monitor
current year expenditure levels,
determine the allowability of state
claims for reimbursement, develop
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) financial management
information, provide for state reporting
of waiver expenditures, and ensure that
the federally established allotment is
not exceeded. They are also necessary in
the redistribution and reallocation of
unspent funds over the federally
mandated timeframes.
Form CMS–37 due dates are
November 15, February 15, May 15 and
August 15 of each fiscal year. While all
submissions represent equally
important components of the grant
award cycle, the May and November
submissions are particularly significant
for budget formulation. The November
submission introduces a new fiscal year
to the budget cycle and serves as the
basis for the formulation of the
Medicaid portion of the President’s
Budget, which is presented to Congress
in January. The February and August
submissions are used primarily for
budget execution in providing interim
updates to our Office of Financial
Management, the Department of Health
and Human Services, the Office of
Management and Budget, and Congress
depending on the scheduling of the
national budget review process in a
given fiscal year. The submissions
provide us with base information
necessary to track current year
obligations and expenditures in relation
to the current year appropriation and to
notify senior managers of any
impending surpluses or deficits.
Form CMS–64 is used to issue
quarterly grant awards, monitor current
year expenditure levels, determine
allowed state claims for reimbursement,
develop Medicaid financial
management information provide for
state reporting of waiver expenditures,
ensure that the federally-established
limit is not exceeded for HCBS waivers,

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Case Plan Requirement, Title
IV–E of the Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0970–0428.
Description: Under section 471(a)(16)
of title IV–E of the Social Security Act
(the Act), to be eligible for payments,
states and tribes must have an approved
title IV–E plan that provides for the
development of a case plan for each
child for whom the State or Tribe
receives foster care maintenance
payments and that provides a case
review system that meets the
requirements in section 475(5) and
475(6) of the Act.
The case review system assures that
each child has a case plan designed to
achieve placement in a safe setting that
is the least restrictive (most family-like)
setting available and in close proximity
to the child’s parental home, consistent
with the best interest and special needs
of the child. Through these
requirements, States and Tribes also
comply, in part, with title IV–B section
422(b) of the Act, which assures certain
protections for children in foster care.
The case plan is a written document
that provides a narrative description of
the child-specific program of care.
Federal regulations at 45 CFR 1356.21(g)
and section 475(1) of the Act delineate
the specific information that should be
addressed in the case plan. The
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) does not specify a
recordkeeping format for the case plan
nor does ACF require submission of the
document to the Federal government.
Case plan information is recorded in a
format developed and maintained by the
State or Tribal child welfare agency.
Respondents: State and Tribe title IV–
B and title IV–E agencies.

federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each

comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that
summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for
public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension without change
of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection:
Quarterly Medicaid and CHIP Budget and Expenditure Reporting for the
Medical Assistance Program, Administration and CHIP; Use: The Medicaid
