Title: Developmental Disabilities Annual Protection and Advocacy
Program Performance Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0159.
Description: HHS cannot fulfill its obligation to effectively serve
the nation's Adoption and Foster Care populations, nor report
meaningful and reliable information to Congress (Adoption and Foster
Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) required by section
479(b)(2) of the Social Security Act, or CAPTA reporting requirements)
about the extent of the problems facing these children or the
effectiveness of various methodologies designed to provide assistance
to this population, without access to timely and accurate information.
Forty-six States and the District of Columbia have developed or have
committed to develop a SACWIS system with enhanced (75 percent) Federal
financial participation (FFP). The purpose of these reviews is to
ensure that all aspects of the project, as described in the approved
Advance Planning Document (APD), have been adequately completed, and
conform with applicable regulations and policies.
States will submit the completed SACWIS Assessment Review
Questionnaire and other documentation. The additional documents should
all be readily available to the State as a result good project
management.
The information collected in the Assessment Review Guide will allow
State and Federal officials to determine if the State's SACWIS system
meets the requirements for enhanced title IV-E Federal financial
participation defined at 45 CFR 1355.50. Additionally, other States
will be able to use the documentation provided as part of this review
process, in their own system development efforts.
