Department of Economic Security’s Federal IV-E Waiver Demonstration Project Proposal  (December 2004, Report No. IB-0401)

DES has submitted a federal IV-E waiver demonstration project proposal to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

If approved, the demonstration project will allow more flexible use of federal funds and DES anticipates it will expedite reunification by providing additional home-based interventions. 

There is no firm timetable for a decision by DHHS on the proposal.
