Indian Tribal Organizations Applying for title IV-B, subpart 2 funds.

Under title IV-B, subpart 2, when all the eligible ITO's do not claim their full allotment, funds become available for reallotment to other ITO's. For an ITO to claim a portion of these funds we must have on file a request from the tribe and an assurance of sufficient matching funds. If additional funds are requested indicate: the total amount, the Federal share (75%) and the ITO match (25%), in the spaces provided.
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), Child Abuse and Neglect Basic State Grants Only.

Estimated CAPTA Basic State Grant allocation, as provided in the annual announcement on availability of funds. Supplemental funds may be available for distribution if there are States that are not awarded grant funds or there are unobligated funds available for redistribution. No matching is required for this grant.

Note: Pooled funding among the programs is not allowed, since separate funding streams and accountability are still required by statute. While the information on the programs may be consolidated into one Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP), eligibility and funding for the individual programs will be kept separate and funding will not be delayed for one program due to potential eligibility issues in the other program.

For FY 2001 only, ignore this section.

States may consolidate the Independent Living Program (ILP) application into the title IV-B CFSP to meet the requirement in 45 CFR 1357.16(a)(4). If States are including the ILP application as part of the Annual Progress Services Report, then they may request the ILP funds on this form.

9(a):   Provide the total estimate of the State's share of the $45 million. No State match is required.

9(b) and (c):   Federal funds requested must be matched dollar for dollar.

9(c):   Some States may not use some or all of the title IV-E ILP funds allotted to them for a particular fiscal year because they do not choose to apply for funds, do not choose to match some or all of the additional amounts available, or because their applications do not meet all the requirements of section 477 of the Act or of ACYF-PI-93-16. These funds, as well as any of the funds not requested for State matching, will then be available for reallotment to other States under the provisions set forth under section 477(e)(2). If the State is requesting reallotted funds indicate the Federal share and the State match.

Note:   Pooled funding among the programs is not allowed, since separate funding streams and accountability are still required by statute. While the information on the programs may be consolidated into one Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP), eligibility and funding for the individual programs will be kept separate and funding will not be delayed for one program due to potential eligibility issues in the other program.
Certification: This report must be signed and dated in the spaces provided. The signature and title of the director of the State agency, or Indian Tribal Organization, with authority to administer or supervise the administration of title IV-B, subparts 1 and 2 programs, and for States only the CAPTA and ILP programs, must be included.

The tentative allocations are based on the premise that all States will apply for and receive the funds available to them. In the event that not all States apply for or receive their tentative allocations, those funds will be redistributed among eligible States, where permitted by statute. States receiving additional funds as a result of such a redistribution should submit information on the proposed use of such additional funds to the appropriate Regional Office of the Administration for Children and Families.

Obligation and Expenditure of CAPTA Funds. States have five-years from the date of the grant award to obligate and liquidate their State Grant funds. Under the CAPTA Amendments of 1996, there is no longer a penalty for States that do not obligate funds within 18 months from the date of the grant award beginning with the FY 1997 awards.
