This technical assistance document accompanies the proposed rule on the National Youth In Transition Database (NYTD) that was published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40346).
As youth in care begin to develop their own sense of self and independence, caseworkers may experience difficulties engaging them to participate in their case plans or helping them realize the impacts their decisions may have on their long-term future.
This Technical Bulletin provides and defines the roles and responsibilities for State users that will be given access to the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) Portal.
Tailored technical assistance (TA) is available to states that are working with the Children’s Bureau to plan for their NYTD Review on ways to engage young adults (ages 18−25) with current or former foster care experience to participate as a state NYTD Reviewer and in their state’s ongoing NYTD efforts.
This TB describes the standards a NYTD data file must meet to comply with the provisions of the NYTD regulation found at 45 CFR 1356.85, including element-by-element details of the error-free information standards states must meet pursuant to 45 CFR 1356.85(a)(3) and 1356.85(b)(1).
This TB describes how ACF will identify and finalize each cohort of youth in the NYTD follow-up population (or follow-up population sample for those States that opt to sample) for the purposes of assessing States' compliance with NYTD data collection and reporting requirements.
This guide describes the standard and specialized calls used in planning for a NYTD Review. It includes a general timeline for the calls, and the time frame, participants, and content discussed for each type of call.
