Child Welfare Services Program

We are proposing to amend the regulations governing direct payments to Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) for child welfare services, by eliminating the requirement that to be eligible ITOs must provide services under contract (or grant) with the Secretary of the Interior under section 102 of the Indian Self-Determination Act, and by adding a description of the formula used to calculate the amount of Federal funds available to eligible ITOs under title IV-B, Subpart 1 of the Social Security Act. We believe that complex and limiting eligibility requirements and low grant amounts have resulted in low ITO participation rates. The amendment will improve the quality of Indian child welfare services nationally by broadening eligibility and by allowing for an increase in grant amounts.
