To receive child support funding under
45 CFR Part 309, tribes and tribal organizations must submit the
financial forms described in 45 CFR 309.130(b) and other forms as
the Secretary may designate, due no later than August 1 annually.
The optional Tribal Budget and Narrative Justification Template
will help to improve efficiency and establish uniformity and
consistency in the annual budget submission and review process.
Tribes may use the Excel or Word version of the template to submit
the required financial information. OCSE is proposing to collect
data for a new financial reporting form, Tribal Budget and
Justification Narrative Template. The template is an optional form
tribes may use to provide their budget and justification narrative
in accordance with the tribal child support regulations. The form
will be used to review annual budget submissions.
