SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
[[Page 19317]]
(ESEA), section 1124 of title I, as amended by Public Law 114-95,
requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to determine the
number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, that (1) are being
supported in foster homes with public funds; or (2) are from families
receiving assistance payments in excess of the current poverty income
level for a family of four. The information gathered is to be passed on
to the Secretary of Education for purposes of allocating grants
authorized under this law. The statute requires that the formula to
allocate these grants and distribute funds be based, in part, on
October caseload data on the number of children in foster care or in
families receiving payments from state programs funded under Title IV-a
of the Social Security Act [Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF)]. The purpose of this annual survey is to provide annually
updated data so that funds may be allocated in accordance with the
ESEA.
Respondents: State agencies (including the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico) administering child welfare and public assistance
programs.
