Office of Child Support Enforcement; Special Improvement Project (SIP) Grants
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) invites eligible applicants to submit competitive grant applications for special improvement projects, which further the national child support mission, vision, and goals. For FY 2005, OCSE is looking for projects that reflect the goals of the new FY 2005-2009 strategic plan including the goals that all children have parentage established; and all children in IV-D (child support) cases have support orders established, have medical coverage and receive financial support from parents as ordered. The last goal of the strategic plan is that the IV-D program will be efficient and responsive in its operations. Applications will be screened and evaluated as indicated in this program announcement. Awards will be contingent upon the outcome of the competition and the availability of funds. For FY 2005, approximately $1.8 million is available for all priority areas. A non-Federal match is not required. The anticipated start date for the new awards is August 1, 2005; projects under Priority 1 may run through December 31, 2006, for a period of up to 17 months; projects under Priorities 2, 4 and 5 may run through July 31, 2007, for a period of up to 24 months and projects under Priority 3 may run through July 31, 2008, for a period of up to 36 months. Legislative Authority: Section 452(j) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 652(j), provides Federal funds for information dissemination and technical assistance to States, training of Federal and State staff to improve child support programs, and research, demonstration, and special projects of regional or national significance relating to the operation of State child support enforcement programs.
State Median Income Estimate for a Four-Person Family (FFY 2006); Notice of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2006 State Median Income Estimates for Use Under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Administration by the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance
This notice announces the estimated median income for four- person families in each State and the District of Columbia for FFY 2006 (October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006). LIHEAP grantees may adopt the State median income estimates beginning with the date of this publication of the estimates in the Federal Register or at a later date as discussed below. This means that LIHEAP grantees could choose to implement this notice during the period between the heating and cooling seasons. However, by October 1, 2005, or by the beginning of a grantee's fiscal year, whichever is later, LIHEAP grantees using State median income estimates must adjust their income eligibility criteria to be in accord with the FFY 2006 State median income estimates. This listing of estimate State median incomes provides one of the maximum income criteria that LIHEAP grantees may use in determining a household's income eligibility for LIHEAP.
Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants
The Office of Population Affairs, Office of Public Health and Science, Department of Health and Human Services, published a notice in the Federal Register July 7, 2004, announcing the anticipated availability of funds for family planning services grants. This notice contained an error. An eligible Population/area was not listed as available for competition in 2005. A document correcting the omission of the Seattle, Washington Population/area as competitive in 2005 was published in the Federal Register August 10, 2004. Later, two additional Populations/areas, Illinois, Chicago area and Arizona, Navajo Nation, became available for competition in 2005. A second correction notice was published in the Federal Register November 22, 2004, which included all Populations/areas available for competition in 2005. Since that time, it has been recognized that the project period start date indicated in Table I for the Seattle, Washington Population/ area is incorrect. This notice corrects the project period start date to 09/30/2005 for the FY 2005 competitive year. However, the first year of the project period beginning 09/30/2005 will be abbreviated. The budget period for the 01-year will end on 06/30/2006. In subsequent years, the annualized budget period will begin on 07/01 of each project period year, and will end on 06/30 of each project period year. The purpose of this change is to modify the project period start and end dates for the Seattle, Washington Population/area in order to enhance project oversight.
