Abstract: 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.
