Instructions for Completing the CFS-101 Forms
Introduction
The CFS-101 is a set of financial forms required by State Agencies, Territories, Insular Areas (States), Indian Tribes, Indian Tribal Organizations, or Indian Tribal Consortia (Tribes) to apply for and receive funding under title IV-B, subparts 1 and 2 of the Social Security Act, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) State Grant, and the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee) and Education and Training Voucher (ETV) Program.
The set of CFS-101 forms has three parts:
Part I: Annual Budget Request for Title IV-B, Subpart 1 & 2 Funds, CAPTA State Grant, Chafee, and ETV;
Part II: Annual Estimated Expenditure Summary of Child and Family Services Funds; and,
Part III: Annual Expenditures for Title IV-B, Subparts 1 and 2, Chafee, and ETV.
Periodically, the Children’s Bureau makes updates to the forms and instructions so it is important for grantees to use the version provided with the most recent Program Instruction for the Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP) or Annual Progress and Services Report (APSR).
When completing the CFS-101 reports, it is important to recognize that Part I and Part II are connected. On Part I, the funding requests are made for each program; Part II provides more detail on how those funds and other funds are planned to be spent for child protective and child welfare services. Finally, Part III reports grant expenditures for the most recently ended grant award year.
Data Entry Notes:
If formulas are entered or used to distribute funds for any grant, please show only the final values in the worksheets, not the formulas.
Break all links/references to other agency fiscal worksheets or workbooks.
Do not round to the $ thousands or $ millions on any of the forms.
When finished, save and name the PDF file (and Excel workbook for states) as “State/Tribe name FY [year] CFS-101s” so that the name of the state or tribe submitting the file is clearly identified.
Note: While the information on the programs are consolidated into one Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP), eligibility and expenditure reports for the individual programs are separate. Funding will not be delayed for one program due to potential eligibility issues in another program.
CFS-101, Part I Instructions: Annual Budget Request for Funds under Title IV-B, Subparts 1 & 2, CAPTA State Grant, Chafee, and ETV
The numbering corresponds to the item numbers on the CFS-101 forms.
1. Name of State or Indian Tribal Organization and Department/Division: Enter the name of the State or Indian Tribal Organization (Tribe) and agency (Department or Division) in cell A4 of the Excel worksheet.
Address: Enter the mailing address of the state or tribal agency in the cells below the “address” line. This should be the address to which the grant award notices may be sent.
a) Enter the email address to which grant award notices may be sent.
EIN: Enter the Employer Identification Number (EIN).
DUNS: Enter the Dun and Bradstreet Number (DUNS) assigned to your organization. Information on how to obtain a DUNS is available on the grants.gov website. A DUNS number is required to register with the U.S. Federal government for contracts or grants.
Submission Type: Indicate the applicable submission type.
NEW submission for the upcoming fiscal year. A submission is “NEW” until signed by the Children’s Bureau Central Office Official; or
Request for REALLOTMENT for current year.
Requests for Funding Section:
The annual budget request demonstrates a grantee's application for funding under each program and provides estimates on the planned use of funds. Final allotments will be determined by formula. Use the prior year allotments for these estimates.
Enter all funding requests as whole dollars, without formulas or links to other worksheets.
Total title IV-B, subpart 1 (CWS) funds: Enter the amount of title IV-B, subpart 1 federal funds that the state or tribe requests for the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Child Welfare Services (CWS) Program. A 25 percent match is required, which must be reflected on the SF-425 report.
a) Enter the estimated amount of title IV-B, subpart 1 CWS funds to be spent on administration. This cannot exceed 10 percent of the total title IV-B, subpart 1 allotment request entered on line 6. A warning will display if the amount entered is greater than 10 percent of the requested amount. The amount reported in 6a is a subset of line 6.
7. Total title IV-B, subpart 2 (PSSF) funds: For TRIBES only: Enter the total amount of funds for title IV-B, subpart 2 that the tribe requests for the MaryLee Allen Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Program. (States do not complete line 7.) If any funds will be spent on administration, enter that amount in 7f.
Tribes are not required to provide the breakout for the use of funds on Part I, but may opt to complete lines 7a-f to identify planned expenditures by service category. Tribes should select the option of completing either line 7 (and 7f, if applicable), or lines 7a-f, which will then prompt the total to display on line 7g. Note that the ‘total’ lines, line 7 and 7g are not connected in any way.
7a-f. Breakout of title IV-B, subpart 2 (PSSF) funds: States must complete lines 7a–f. Line 7g sums the amounts in lines 7a-f to become the state’s total request for PSSF. Enter the amount of PSSF funds that will be expended in each category. The percentage of funds for each service category will automatically calculate. If less than 20 percent of the total (line 7g) is expected to be spent in any of the four service areas (7a – d), a strong rationale must be provided in the CFSP/ APSR narrative. A 25 percent match is required, which must be reflected on the SF-425 report.
Enter the estimated amount of PSSF funds to be spent in the following categories:
a) Family Preservation Services;
b) Family Support Services;
c) Family Reunification Services;
d) Adoption Promotion and Support Services;
e) Other Service Related Activities (e.g., planning); and
f) Administration. States are limited to a maximum of 10 percent of their PSSF request for administrative costs. A warning will display if the amount entered is greater than 10 percent of the requested amount. Tribes can disregard this warning, as there is no maximum allowable percentage of administrative funds.
8. Monthly Caseworker Visit title IV-B, subpart 2 funds (applies to STATES only): Enter the amount of title IV-B, subpart 2 Monthly Caseworker Visit (MCV) funds the state requests.
a) Enter the estimated amount of funds to be spent on administration. This cannot exceed 10 percent of the total MCV request entered on line 8a. A warning will display if the amount entered is greater than 10 percent of the requested amount. The amount reported in 8a is a subset of line 8.

A warning will display if the amount entered is greater than 30 percent of the requested amount. The amount reported in 10a is a subset of line 10.
11. Title IV-E Funds Allotted under Section 477 for the Education and Training Vouchers (ETV) Program: Enter the amount of ETV funds that the state or tribe requests.
Items 12 and 13 are addressed under the “Reallotment Request Section”
14. Certification: This report must be signed, titled, and dated in the spaces provided. The signature and title of the official of the state agency, or Indian Tribal Organization, with authority to administer or supervise the administration of title IV-B, subparts 1 and 2 programs, Chafee and ETV programs, and, for states only, the CAPTA program, is required. By signing this form, the state/tribal official assures that the state/tribe will meet all applicable match requirements.
Reallotment Request Section:
The section for reallotments pertains to the current fiscal year, not the future year for which funds are being requested. This section should be blank on a “new” request for future year funding.
As funds are available, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is able to reallot unneeded portions of state and tribal allotments of title IV-B funds and Chafee funds to other states and eligible tribes so that the total appropriation remains available for program purposes. In order for a state or tribe to be awarded a portion of these funds, or for funds to be released, ACF must have a reallotment request for the current year on file.
The identification of funds that will not be utilized and requests for additional funds occurs mid-year of the current fiscal year and must be submitted as a stand-alone document, separate from the “new” request for funding, and may be submitted independently of the CFSP/APSR. These requests will be sent immediately from the Children’s Bureau (CB) Regional Offices (ROs) to the CB Central Office (CO) for the Office of Grants Management to process so that any available appropriated funds may be realloted timely.
When submitting a request for reallotment, complete a separate CFS-101 Part I with a submission type of “reallotment” checked. Fill in items 1-5 and the applicable cells in items 12 and/or 13, then have it signed, titled, and dated by the authorized agency official. Submit it as a separate file named “State/tribal organization name FY [year] Reallotment” with the name of the state or tribe submitting the file clearly identified. This will ensure a timely review and submission of the request to the CB CO.
Note: A reallotment request may be submitted to the RO at any time prior to, or on, June 30th, independent of the CFSP/APSR submission. However, it must be submitted as a separate file from the future year set of CFS-101 forms.
12. Identification of Surplus Funds for Reallotment: In the appropriate cell, enter the amount of federal CWS, PSSF, MCV, Chafee, and/or ETV funds that the state or tribe will not utilize.
13. Request for additional funds from Reallotment: In the appropriate cell, enter the amount of additional federal CWS, PSSF, MCV, Chafee, and ETV funds that the state or tribe is requesting, should additional funds become available. Note: In requesting additional funds, states and tribes should remember that 25 percent state or tribal non-federal match will be required for the additional funds received under CWS, PSSF, and MCV; a 20 percent state or tribe non-federal match will be required for the additional funds received under Chafee and ETV.
Important Note on Completing the CFS-101, Part II Form: This form has been designed to ensure compliance with Federal requirements to make electronic information posted on websites accessible to people with disabilities. The form includes cells in columns (A) through (H) that have been prepopulated with a dash (-). To report data in these columns, replace the dash (-) with the appropriate numeric dollar amount. A zero (0) entered will revert to a dash (-). Columns (I) through (L) have also been prepopulated with a dash (-).

19. Totals from Part I: No entry is needed. The requested amount for each grant from the CFS-101, Part I will autofill in the respective columns.
20. Difference: No entry is needed. The field displays the difference of line 19 (amount entered on Part I) minus line 18 (total of lines on Part II) for each grant. If there is a number other than $0 on this line for any column, this means that the planned breakout of how funds are to be spent is either greater or less than the total amount entered on Part I for that program. Reduce or increase the amounts within the column accordingly to assure that the difference is $0 prior to submitting the CFS 101s to the Children’s Bureau.
21. Population Data: Indicate where the population data can be found, in columns I, J, K, and L on the Part II or in the CFSP/APSR narrative. This information is required for all CFSP/APSR submissions.

The amounts for any of the spending areas on the Part II for PSSF cannot exceed the amount of the request on the Part I. Note: Column (G) [Title IV-E] refers to the title IV-E Foster Care, Adoption Assistance and Guardianship Assistance programs only.
Note: Distribution of PSSF funds in column B on Part II auto-fills from the CFS-101, Part I. These formulas may be overwritten by entering a different amount in the specific cell. This should only occur if some of the service/activity funds are being distributed to the training cells (B13, B14, and B16) or cell B17 for Caseworker Retention, Recruitment, and Training. The amounts in items B2-B6 should not exceed the amounts on Part I for items 7a-f.
Reminders for Columns A-G:
Hardcode all numbers entered (no formulas).
Break all links and references to other agency worksheets or workbooks.
Do not round to the $ thousands or $ millions.
If there is an amount other than “$0” in the “difference” row (line 20), the estimated expenditures in the service/activities must be adjusted.
Column H. State, Local, Tribal, and Donated Funds: Enter the estimated amount of state, local, tribal, and donated funds to be expended, even if they are not used to match federal funds. Tribal funds received from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for child welfare purposes should be entered in this column. Amounts entered in this column should reflect overall programmatic support of the child welfare program, and not only the required non-federal match. This column is required to be completed by all applicants.
The following information must be provided in the CFSP/APSR and may be provided on the CFS-101 Part II or in the narrative of the CFSP/APSR. Mark the appropriate box for Item 21, Population Data, to indicate where this information can be found.
Columns I and J. Estimated Number to be Served: Estimate, as accurately as possible, the number of individuals and families to be served by service/activity with the total estimated funding indicated.

Areas may include specific regions, counties, cities, communities, census tracts, or neighborhoods. For example, if the agency is operating family preservation programs in six counties, indicate by noting "6 counties"; if the agency is operating 12 community-based family support programs, indicate by noting "12 communities".
CFS-101, Part III Instructions: Expenditures for Title IV-B, Subparts 1 and 2, John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood, and Education and Training Voucher (ETV) Program
The CFS-101, Part III report captures information on the actual expenditures for the most recently closed grant award year. Federal funds for the programs identified above are awarded to states and tribes on a yearly basis, but may be spent over a 2-year period ending on September 30 of the year following the fiscal year (FY) for which they were awarded. For the CFS-101 reports submitted with the FY 2022 APSR, the reporting year is the FY 2019 grant allocation, which had an expenditure period from October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2020. Therefore, any fiscal year 2019 funds must have been obligated during that 2-year period of time and subsequently reported on this form.
Important Note on Completing the CFS-101, Part III Form: This form has been designed to ensure compliance with Federal requirements to make electronic information posted on websites accessible to people with disabilities.
