Child Welfare Policy Manual

Child Welfare Policy Manual

The Child Welfare Policy Manual was issued and is maintained by the Children's Bureau. It conveys mandatory policies that have their basis in Federal law and/or program regulations. It also provides interpretations of Federal statutes and program regulations initiated by inquiries from State Child Welfare agencies or ACF Regional Offices.

Section 8 through 8.2E, Title IV-E, is the section that most affects the administration of the ICAMA.
