Children's Bureau-Only Funding Request
Children's Bureau along with Medicaid and/or Child Support Funding Request
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has three program areas with specified federal financial participation (FFP) for state or tribal information systems. They are:
- Children's Bureau (CB) (title IV-E)
- Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) (title XIX)
- Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) (title IV-D)
Along with all relevant documents, the electronic submission should include a scanned copy of the cover letter signed by the appropriate State official. This is either a cabinet-level official or an individual with written approval from a cabinet-level official to submit Advance Planning Documents (APDs).
Children's Bureau-Only Funding Request
Send electronic submissions that request only child welfare (title IV-E) funding from CB, without CMS or OCSE involvement, to the following addresses:
- The Children's Bureau APD Submissions mailbox: CB APD Submissions

- Division of State Systems Director Tresa Young
- The analyst assigned to your state
- Kym Rosen
- Regional Office Program Manager
- As needed to agencies outside HHS, such as Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), that provide funding to the project.
