    Title: State Plan for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance--Title 
IV-E
    OMB No.: 0980-0141
    Description: A State plan for foster care and adoption assistance 
is required by section 471 of the Social Security Act from any State 
wishing to claim federal financial participation for foster care and 
adoption assistance. States may use a preprinted format or may develop 
their own format which meets the requirements of the law. The Plan is 
submitted only once and amended as necessary. Our experience is that a 
State will amend a Plan once every 4 years; approximately 12 per year.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Govt.
