Title IV-E Reimbursement for Legal Services

IV-E reimbursement is available to provide funding to counties to support the expansion of legal services for child welfare programs. The legal services must be related to protecting the safety of children and achieving permanence for children in out-of-home care. Under the legal services reimbursement program, federal IV-E funds are provided on a pass-through basis to counties to support attorneys, paralegals, clerical, and other legal staff whose positions are, in whole or in part, dedicated to child welfare legal actions under Chapter 48.

Instructions and application materials for IV-E Pass-Through reimbursement for these county-related expenditures are available below.  The IV-E Legal Services budget application is provided in Excel format for calculating IV-E reimbursement to complete the legal services fiscal worksheet.
