Switch to Tribal Foster Care Less Costly to Kids
WASHINGTON (CN) - Transferring a child from state to tribal foster care no longer affects the child's eligibility for federal foster care benefits or Medicaid, according to a new regulation.
The new Administration for Children and Families regulation also makes it so the transfer does not affect "in-kind expenditures from third-party sources for the tribal share of administration and training expenditures under Title IV-E; and other provisions to carry out the tribal-related amendments to Title IV-E."

Tribal child welfare: Interim final rule, published Jan. 6, 2012, effective Feb. 6, 2012, comments by March 6, 2012
Text
The Administration for Children and Families implements statutory provisions regarding the tribal Title IV-E program. Effective Oct. 1, 2009, Section 479B(b) of the Social Security Act authorizes direct federal funding of Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia that choose to operate a foster care, adoption assistance and, at tribal option, a kinship guardianship assistance program under Title IV-E of the Act. The Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act requires the agency to issue interim final regulations which address procedures to ensure that a transfer of responsibility for the placement and care of a child under a state Title IV-E plan to a tribal Title IV-E plan occurs in a manner that does not affect the child's eligibility for Title IV-E benefits or medical assistance under Title XIX of the Act (Medicaid) and such services or payments; in-kind expenditures from third-party sources for the tribal share of administration and training expenditures under Title IV-E; and other provisions to carry out the tribal-related amendments to Title IV-E. This interim final rule includes these provisions and technical amendments to implement a tribal Title IV-E program.

Why We Stole Our Foster Child from His Family
Why We Stole Our Foster Child from His Family - Foster2Forever:
Our foster child, Lil Bit, has a birth family that loves him. Lil Bit wasn’t abused or neglected. He had a family member that expressed interest in adopting him that had an approved home study.
A Family's second worst nightmare. CPS is the first!
