LARGEST CHILD TRAFFICKING ORG IN THE WORLD
CHILDREN'S BUREAU
An Office of the Administration for Children & Families
History and Purpose
The1994 Amendmentsto the Social Security Act (the Act) authorize the Children's Bureau to review state child and family services programs to ensure compliance with the requirements in titles IV-B and IV-E of the Act. This includes systematic monitoring of the Title IV-E Foster Care Program,which provides funds to title IV-E agencies (states and Tribes)to assist with the costs of foster care maintenance for eligible children; administrative expenses to manage the program; and training for staff, foster parents, and certain private agency staff. Title IV-E foster care funds are awarded to the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and federally-recognized Indian Tribes, Indian Tribal organizations and Tribal consortia with approved title IV-E plans, and are available as open-ended entitlement grants through single-year appropriations. The program’s focus, which is articulated in statute, is children eligible under the pre-welfare reform Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program and removed from their homes due to maltreatment, lack of care, lack of supervision, or other problems attributed to a relative caregiver. Specifically, the program permits title IV-E agencies to claim reimbursement for a portion of foster care expenditures for children who are removed from home and placed in foster care, and who are eligible based on the former AFDC program (in effect July 16, 1996).
In 2000, HHS published a final rule in the Federal Register to establish a new approach to monitoring state title IV-E agencies.
Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility Reviews
The Children’s Bureau conducts title IV-E foster care eligibility reviews (IV-E reviews) in accordance with 45 CFR §1356.71 to monitor the title IV-E agency’s substantial compliance with certain requirements of title IV-E at §472(a) of the Act and implementing federal regulations at 45 CFR Parts 1355 and 1356 pertaining to:
Judicial determinations regarding “reasonable efforts” and “contrary to the welfare”
Voluntary placement agreements
Responsibility for placement and care vested with the title IV-E agency
Child's eligibility for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) under the state plan in effect July 16, 1996
Child’s placement in a licensed foster family home or child care institution
Safety requirements are met by the child's foster care provider
The IV-E reviews are conducted by a team of federal and title IV-E agency representatives. The review team examines a random sample of foster care cases, provider files and payment documentation on children for whom the title IV-E agency claims reimbursement of title IV-E foster care maintenance payments. The IV-E reviews periodically monitor the title IV-E agency’s compliance in meeting title IV-E eligibility requirements; validate the accuracy of the agency’s claims for reimbursement of title IV-E payments made on behalf of children in foster care, and identify and recover improper payments.
The IV-E reviews, through a systematic evaluation of case record and payment documentation, provide a snapshot of decisions about the child’s foster care episode and, thus, the agency’s child welfare practice and fiscal accountability. As such, the IV-E reviews help to ensure fiscal accountability, improve child welfare practice and support the goals of child safety, permanency, and well-being.
The Review Process
During the on-site review, the review team examines child case records, including placement and payment histories, court orders, provider licensing and safety documentation, and other relevant case materials. The review team completes a Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility On-Site Review Instrument and Instructions for each case in the review sample in which at least one IV-E foster care maintenance payment was made for a period during the 6-month period under review. The review is conducted on site during a 5-day period.

Ben Affleck Exchanges Words With Cops Outside His Home Days After The FBI Visited Him
Ben Affleck is in the news again over his interaction with law enforcement officials after he was pictured having a heated exchange with police officers outside his home in Brentwood, California.
The actor's interaction with the cops comes two days after reports revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation visited him over an issue.
Affleck was forced to evacuate his rented apartment amid the devastating wildfires and had to take shelter at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner's residence for a while.
On Tuesday, Page Six obtained pictures that showed Affleck discussing with officers of the law outside of his Brentwood home.
The photos showed Affleck leaning out of his vehicle's window to exchange words with two cops in a police cruiser.
The "Justice League" star seemed very animated as he spoke to the police officers. He stuck his arm out from the driver's side of his BMW and gestured toward the exit at a point.
Although what the actor said to the cops remains unclear, an insider told the outlet that the officers were in the area because neighbors had private security scouting the vicinity, preventing residents from entering their homes.
The source revealed that Affleck was "talking to the police about the situation" but was eventually allowed to enter his residence.
Affleck's heated interaction with the two cops follows a surprise visit from the FBI and LA County Sheriff's deputies two days ago.
Initial reports from the Daily Mail stated that it was unclear whether Affleck was at home when the law enforcement agents arrived at his "Bachelor's Pad" home. However, they stayed at his gate for some time but seemingly didn't get any response.
The officers reportedly used the call box next to Affleck's gate but failed to open it. They then walked up to the gate to call over it but were also unsuccessful.
Despite concerns over the FBI's visit to Affleck's home, TMZ reported that he wasn't in any sort of trouble as the agents were only there to investigate a collision between a drone and a firefighting aircraft.
According to the publication, the "Super Scooper" aircraft was helping to put out the devastating wildfires ravaging Los Angeles.
