SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title IV–E
of the Social Security Act (the Act) was
amended by Public Law 115–123, which
included the Family First Prevention
Services Act (FFPSA). The FFPSA
authorized new optional title IV–E
funding for time-limited (one year)
prevention services for mental health/
substance abuse and in-home parent
skill-based programs for: (1) A child
who is a candidate for foster care (as
defined in section 475(13) of the Act),
(2) pregnant/parenting foster youth, and
(3) the parents/kin caregivers of those
children and youth (sections 471(e),
474(a)(6), and 475(13) of the Act). Title
IV–E prevention services must be rated
as promising, supported, or wellsupported in accordance with HHS
criteria and be approved by HHS
(section 471(e)(4)(C) of the Act) as part
of the Title IV–E Prevention Services
Clearinghouse (section 476(d)(2) of the
Act). A state or tribal title IV–E agency
electing to participate in the program
must submit a five-year title IV–E
prevention program plan that meets the
statutory requirements. (See Program
Instructions ACYF–CB–PI–18–09 and
ACYF–CB–PI–18–10 for more
information.)
The FFPSA also amended Section
474(a)(7) of the Act to reimburse state
and tribal IV–E agencies for a portion of
the costs of operating kinship navigator
programs that meet certain criteria. To
qualify for funding under the title IV–
E Kinship Navigator program, the
program must meet the requirements of
a kinship navigator program described
in section 427(a)(1) of the Act. The
kinship navigator program must also
meet practice criteria of promising,
supported, or well-supported in
accordance with HHS criteria and be
approved by HHS (section 471(e)(4)(C)
of the Act). To begin participation in the
title IV–E Kinship Navigator Program, a
title IV–E agency must submit an
attachment to its title IV–E plan that
specifies the Kinship Navigator model it
has chosen to implement, the date on
which the provision of program services
began or will begin, and that provides
an assurance that the model meets the
requirements of section 427(a)(1) of the
Act as well as a brief narrative
describing how the program will be
operated. (Please see Program
Instruction ACYF–CB–PI–18–11 for
additional information.)

E agencies.
