Federal Guidance
Public Law 106-169 established the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) at section 477 of the Social Security Act, requiring ACF to develop a data collection system, the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD). To meet the law's mandate, ACF published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register on July 14, 2006. The final rule for NYTD was published February 26, 2008 and is effective as of April 28, 2008. The regulations are found at 45 CFR 1256.80-86 and include a guide to the NYTD data elements (Appendix A), a list of youth outcome survey questions (Appendix B), and guidance on calculating sample size for the NYTD follow-up population (Appendix C).
In addition to the statute and the regulation, the following documents have been issued by the Children's Bureau.
