Three-Year Extension of Title IV-E Plan

The Administration for Children and Families is requesting a 3-year extension of the Plan for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance—Title IV-E (OMB#: 0970-0433), which currently expires on July 31, 2025. If you are a parent or guardian of a child in foster care, adoption, or guardianship programs, this seeks to keep program approval and federal plan oversight in place for an additional three years.

Plan Now Covers Guardianship, Prevention, Kinship

The Title IV-E plan being extended incorporates the plan requirements for optional guardianship assistance, Title IV-E prevention services, and the Title IV-E kinship navigator programs. If you or your family use these programs, they are explicitly included in the Title IV-E plan the Administration is renewing.
