Notice for Public Comment on the Title 

IV–E Adoption Assistance Program’s 

Suspension and Termination Policies 

AGENCY: Children’s Bureau; 

Administration on Children, Youth and 

Families; ACF, HHS 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with title IV–E 

of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 

673), the Children’s Bureau (CB) 

announces the opportunity for public 

comment on our suspension and 

termination policies for the title IV–E 

adoption assistance program, articulated 

in the Child Welfare Policy Manual. We 

similarly announce the opportunity to 

provide public comment about any 

other policy areas of concern relating to 

the title IV–E adoption assistance 

program. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on or before June 29, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons may 

submit comments to http://

www.regulations.gov/. We urge you to 

submit comments electronically to 

ensure they are received in a timely 

manner. Written comments may also be 

submitted to Kathleen McHugh, United 

States Department of Health and Human 

Services, Administration for Children 

and Families, Policy Division, 8th Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Social 

Security Act only permits a title IV–E 

agency to terminate a child or youth’s 

title IV–E adoption assistance subsidy 

under three delineated circumstances: 

(1) The child has attained the age of 18, 

or the age that the agency has chosen 

pursuant to sec. 475(8)(B)(iii) and (iv) of 

the Social Security Act (or the age of 21 

if the title IV–E agency has determined 

that the child has a mental or physical 

disability which would warrant 

continuation of assistance); (2) the title 

IV–E agency determines that the 

adoptive parents are no longer legally 

responsible for support of the child; or 

(3) the title IV–E agency determines that 

the adoptive parents are no longer 

providing any support to the child. 

CB has interpreted the law to prohibit 

a title IV–E agency from automatically 

suspending a title IV–E adoption 

assistance payment on the basis that 

suspending title IV–E adoption 

assistance is equivalent to terminating 

title IV–E adoption assistance. See Child 

Welfare Policy Manual, section 8.2D.5, 

Question and Answer #3 (available at 

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/cwpm/

programs/cb/laws_policies/laws/cwpm/

policy_dsp.jsp?citID=82#747). 

The statute also requires adoptive 

parents to keep the title IV–E agency 

apprised of any circumstances that 

would impact a child’s continued 

eligibility for title IV–E adoption 

assistance, or would impact the 

appropriate amount of the payment. See 

the Social Security Act at sec. 

473(a)(4)(B). However, the statute does 

not specify a recourse for title IV–E 

agencies if a parent does not provide 

such information. CB has explained in 

the Child Welfare Policy Manual that 

title IV–E agencies may not suspend or 

terminate title IV–E adoption assistance 

if adoptive parents do not respond to 

requests for information about whether 

the parents are providing any support to 

the child, or whether the adoptive 

parents remain legally responsible for 

their adopted child. See Child Welfare 

Policy Manual, section 8.2, Question 

and Answer #1 (http://www.acf.hhs.gov/ 

cwpm/programs/cb/laws_policies/laws/

cwpm/policy_dsp.jsp?citID=63). 

We seek comment from title IV–E 

agencies and other stakeholders about 

the title IV–E adoption assistance 

suspension and termination policies. 

We invite agencies and stakeholders to 

share their experiences and concerns 

about how title IV–E agencies 

implement the suspension and 

termination policies, and any 

difficulties they have had ensuring that 

they are paying title IV–E adoption 

assistance funds appropriately. 

In particular, we encourage 

respondents to address the following 

questions: 

(1) Should jurisdictions have 

authority to suspend adoption 

assistance payments under any 

circumstances? If so, what specific 

circumstances should be the basis for 

suspension? 

(2) If suspension was to be permitted, 

what processes should be required in 

connection with suspension, and what 

processes should be required for 

reinstatement? 

More generally, we invite title IV–E 

agencies and other stakeholders to share 

their broader concerns about the title 

IV–E adoption assistance program that 

are unrelated to suspending or
