ACF Releases Information Memorandum on Child Welfare Waivers
ACF Releases Information Memorandum on Child Welfare Waivers:
Note: Isn't it illegal for a DCYF Caseworker to sign an application for Title IV funding when the parent refuses to sign because she is NOT on AFDC/TANF, has NO intentions in signing up for AFDC/TANF and is NOT eligible to receive AFDC/TANF?
Note: Isn't it illegal for a DCYF Caseworker to sign an application for Title IV funding when the parent refuses to sign because she is NOT on AFDC/TANF, has NO intentions in signing up for AFDC/TANF and is NOT eligible to receive AFDC/TANF?
This week Senators Max Baucus (D-MT), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Ron Wyden (D-OR) sent a letter to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) formally requesting that the agency conduct a review of policy options for de-linking eligibility for federal foster care assistance under Title IV-E from the income standards it is currently tied to.
Under current law, a state may only claim federal reimbursements for the cost of foster care for children whose biological families would have qualified for the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program in 1996.
In their letter, the three senators point out the decreasing percentage of children in foster care who are covered by IV-E, which is known as the penetration rate. Since this income standard has not been increased or indexed for inflation in more than 15 years, the federal government provides IV-E foster care funding to fewer than half of children in out-of-home care (the most recent available national penetration rate was 44% in fiscal year 2010).
As GAO conducts its review of policy options, the senators ask the agency to give consideration to whether the options meet four criteria: elimination of means testing, budget neutrality, maintaining funding levels that states currently receive from IV-E reimbursements, and ensuring that any state savings achieved are reinvested in serving children in foster care. The letter also acknowledges the administrative burden that income verification places on child welfare agencies, something raised by frontline workers in CWLA’s recent survey on finance reform.
CWLA believes that the federal government has a responsibility to all children in the foster care system, regardless of their family’s income, and has long advocated elimination of the current AFDC link, most recently in CWLA’s 2012 Legislative Agenda. As such, we are very supportive of the effort by these three senators to enlist GAO’s time and expertise in furthering the discussion about de-linking. As senior members of the Senate Finance Committee, including the Chairman and Ranking Member, the senators’ request should be given high priority by the GAO.
ACF Releases Information Memorandum on Child Welfare Waivers
ACF Releases Information Memorandum on Child Welfare Waivers:
The Administration for Children and Families at the Department of Health and Human Services has released a much anticipated Information Memorandumdetailing plans for state child welfare waiver demonstration projects in the coming years. State child welfare agencies are now considering applying for these demonstration projects. For FY 2012 demonstrations, proposals are due July 9.
The priority areas for the waiver demonstrations are to:
- produce positive well-being outcomes for children, youth and their families;
- enhance the social and emotional well-being of children and youth;
- yield more than modest improvements in the lives of children and families; and/or
- leverage the involvement of other resources and partners to make improvements concurrently through child welfare and related program areas.
The waiver demonstration projects are designed to allow more flexible use of federal funds in order to test new approaches to service delivery and financing structures, in an effort to improve outcomes for children and families involved in the child welfare system. These demonstration projects involve the waiver of certain requirements of titles IV-E, the section of the Social Security Act that govern the foster care, adoption assistance and optional kinship guardianship assistance programs. They do not however provide additional funding to carry out new services.
The guiding principle of the waiver process is that there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that there are promising and effective approaches to improve outcomes for children and families in which abuse and/or neglect has taken place or is likely to take place. However, such approaches are utilized too rarely by many child welfare agencies. The goal of the waivers is to facilitate innovation and experimentation in child welfare programs through the demonstrations and to improve outcomes for children. ACF is encouraging states to consider whether funding flexibility and improvements in the service strategies for children both at risk of foster care placement and those already placed outside the home could lead to better outcomes for children.
The IM also describes how the public can be involved in the development of strong demonstration projects. CWLA private provider members can play an important role in developing high quality proposals and are encouraged to be involved in the application process. We will be hosting a webinar for CWLA members on this topic with Bryan Samuels, Commissioner of the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families on May 29th. For more information regarding this webinar including registration details please contact us at govaffairs@cwla.org .

Judicial Bias in NH Family Courts
The NH State Legislature has recently been putting forth Bill's to make the NH Family Court's work for the People. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? The NH Family Court's need a complete and duly warranted overhaul. Many thank's to the NH State Legislature. Keep up the great work!
Why is there a "waiver" of Rules?
Why is "hearsay" still admitted in NH Family Court's, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2004; Rule 9.0 that "hearsay was NOT admissible in Family Court cases or Domestic Violence cases? Then why is it still allowed in NH Family Court's, without ANY proof of guilt leading to the illegal removal of children from innocent parent's and family member's? How can the Family Court make a ruling without evidence? Are NH Family Court's above the law?
How can a parent be adjudicated for "anticipated" "neglect in the Future"? Not neglect in the past. Not neglect in the present. But in the future? How can a Judge rule on a "vision"? Do NH Judges use a crystal ball? We already know DCYF believes they can see into the future. Do the NH Judges and DCYF REALLY believe they can see into the future? I wonder if they see themselves in the unemployment line, or are they all looking for carnival work seeing as they think they're Psychic's!
Why are parent's denied the right to admit evidence proving their innocence?
Why are parent's denied the right to fire their court-appointed Lawyer's, who admit first and foremost they work for the Court? Not the parent?
Why does a parent stand before a different Judge every time they go to court? Shouldn't the same Judge preside over the case every time?
Why is a parent given the same Judge who sit's on their criminal case at the same time as their child custody case? The same Judge who clearly show's his lack of respect for both the accused and the accused family member's? A bias Judge who couldn't be fair if his life depended on it.
When parent's were allowed court-appointed Lawyer's, why were they given Lawyer's who knew nothing about child custody? Was that just to make sure they lost their children?
Why are parent's denied the right of court CD's and files? CD's and files that prove slander, perjury and "hearsay" were used by the State to steal a child? Is it to protect the State's actor's? So who protect's the innocent children, parent's and family member's? No-one! If the Family Court's were "Open" instead of being "Secret" Court's, this Kangaroo Justice would come to an end.
Isn't it the right of the accused to be able to speak up in Family Court? Then why are they denied?
When a child is removed from a home, doesn't the parent or family member have the right to face his/her accuser? The right to a court hearing? Why is this right denied?
Is it legal to Judge shop in NH? To have a Judge overturn another Judges order's?
Is it legal to have an Ex-parte order signed by a Judge, hand it to the accused and then at the TPR hearing, the Ex-parte order is missing, so another one is written up with totally different order's just to make it look like the accused didn't comply? The first order would have proven the children were removed from the home illegally, without court order or warrant.
Why do the NH Family Court's ALWAY'S take the word of DCYF worker's instead of parent's? Even when proof show's the parent is the one telling the truth? Everyone know's DCYF are known to be liar's.
Everyone know's DCYF removes children from homes that are NOT in imminent danger and services are NEVER provided before a child is removed. Why does the Court let DCYF get away with lying to the court when their own paperwork show's the opposite of their statement's? Does the Judge even read the file, or does he just rule on whatever DCYF tell's him? Hm! That's exactly what he does!
Why are parent's court-ordered into programs that don't exist in NH? Is it to make sure they lose their child for good? What recourse is there for a parent when there is no way possible to comply?
Is it legal to terminate a fictitious man's rights in NH? A man the Judge and DCYF know is NOT the father, but his rights are terminated any way? Does it make any sense to publicize the father's termination of parental rights in Mexico, when DCYF and the Court has his address in Honduras?
Why isn't parental alienation recognized in NH?
Why aren't mother's or father's held in contempt when they refuse to follow court order's?
Why are Marital Master's allowed to throw parent's in Jail in some cases? Isn't that the duty of the Judge?
Why are most GAL's one sided? Do they side with the parent who pay's them? Yes, in most cases they do.
Does the State pay for Court Interpreter's? Isn't that a waste of money, when the person requesting the Interpreter speak's out in court and the Judge clearly hear's the person speak's fluent English?
When a parent's criminal charges of child endangerment are dropped, why are the charges not dropped in Family Court? Why is the new found evidence NOT allowed in Family Court and why are the children NEVER returned?
Why do parent's have NO rights?
Why are parent's and family member's treated worse than accused and convicted criminals?
Why are parent's only allowed thirty day's after adjudication to appeal for a De-Novo trial?
Why does it go against the parent when their court-appointed "puppet" refuses to file for the appeal?
Why does a parent suffer for the Judges negligence? Say, when the Judge negligently doesn't court-order all files? Files that prove innocence and then he refuses to admit the evidence into court?
Why do Criminals have the right to bring in new found evidence at any time and are then set free, but parent's don't have this right? Family member's don't have this right.
What happens to the agency's that hide files that prove the parent's innocence? Nothing!
Even when innocence is Proven in NH, a parent or family member is STILL considered guilty and their children are STILL put up for adoption. And NOT to family member's either, because as DCYF states, "Relative placement is NOT an option. Period!"
Here's one I forgot:
Why a Pro-Se litigant's ALWAYS treated unfairly? By Court clerk's and Judges?
This post and link will give you a clue as to why parent's and family member's are railroaded in NH Family Court's;
