On June 15, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced in the Federal Register a request for proposals for Child Welfare Waiver Demonstrations related to Titles IV-E and IV-B of the Social Security Act. Under this waiver program, HHS will permit up to ten states to experiment with programmatic innovations that require some flexibility in the use of Title IV-E or IV-B funds in order to achieve improved outcomes for children and families. The principles and objectives outlined in the HHS announcement cover the entire range of child welfare services. The maximum demonstration period that will be allowed is 5 years.
