The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to inform social services districts that New York State recently was found to be in substantial compliance with federal title IV-E child and provider eligibility requirements by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This determination was based on the Secondary Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility Review (Secondary Review), completed in Rensselaer during the week of August 21 - 25, 2006. In its Final Report on the Secondary Review, ACF commends New York State for its significant efforts and clear achievements in improving compliance with title IV-E eligibility requirements. These achievements could not have been made without the hard work of the social services districts, courts, voluntary authorized agencies and others over the last two years. Therefore, this LCM also extends OCFS's commendations to everyone who participated in the activities undertaken over the last few years to prepare for the Secondary Review.
