For nearly every child who enters foster care, a first goal of the child welfare agency is to ensure necessary services are identified, and provided, so that the child can quickly and safely return to his or her parents. Most children who leave foster care do so to be reunited with parents or other family members. For some children, however, this is not possible. In those cases, the child welfare agency must work to find a new permanent home for these children and this may be accomplished through adoption or legal guardianship. This book examines Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, which declares that states, territories, and tribes are entitled to claim partial federal reimbursement for the cost of providing foster care, adoption assistance, and kinship guardianship assistance to children who meet federal eligibility criteria. The Title IV-E program, provides support for monthly payments on behalf of eligible children, as well as funds for related case management activities, training, data collection, and other costs of program administration. 410 0$aSocial issues, justice and status series. 410 0$aChildren's issues, laws and programs series. 606 $aFederal aid to child welfare$zUnited States 606 $aChild welfare$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aFoster home care$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aAdoption$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 615 0$aFederal aid to child welfare 615 0$aChild welfare$xGovernment policy 615 0$aFoster home care$xGovernment policy 615 0$aAdoption$xGovernment policy 676 $a362.73 702 $aStoltzfus$b Emilie 702 $aSmith$b Amy 702 $aJackson$b Thomas W. 712 02$aLibrary of Congress.$bCongressional Research Service, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151735603321 996 $aFoster care, adoption and kinship guardian assistance$92884244 997 $aUNINA
