The Children’s Bureau has released Program Instruction (PI) ACYF-CB-PI-20-09. This PI provides State, Territorial, and Tribal title IV-E agencies with the revised CB-496 form and instructions approved by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reporting quarterly financial information on the title IV-E Foster Care, Adoption Assistance, Guardianship Assistance, Kinship Navigator and Prevention Services Programs, as well as annual information relating to Adoption Savings. This PI also provides additional guidance to qualifying title IV-E agencies that previously operated title IV-E child welfare waiver demonstration projects on how to report title IV-E costs used to calculate Funding Certainty Grants, authorized by the Family First Transition Act.
