Department of Economic Security - Division of Children, Youth and Families - Child Protective Services - Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005

The federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Act) modifies laws that impact three division programs. For the Title IV-E Foster Care program, the Division may experience a $17-million-per-year increase in state costs and will be required to return approximately $10 million in prior reimbursements. In addition, Title XIX revenue for the Division's Comprehensive Medical and Dental Care Program (CMDP) was temporarily delayed. Finally, the Division expects to receive about $940,000 in additional funding for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program.
