The Peer TA Network would like to know if any States, Tribes, and local TANF programs have innovative strategies for engaging and working with their child welfare counterparts to address child-only cases and at-risk families?

A representative from Jefferson County H. S. TANF/CW Collaboration Grant would like training, policy and procedure information for Parent Partner or other peer support programs for TANF/Child Welfare clients.

Our state legislature would like to utilize TANF funding to train child welfare workers on adoption issues. The goal would be to enhance caseworker knowledge of adoption issues and assist children and families through the adoption process. Focus would be for child only cases and children in the child welfare system to help them stabilize their living situation. Are any states currently using TANF funds for adoption services? Training? Any assistance or direction you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Many States are currently using internet technology as an information tool to support their TANF, Child Care, Child Support and/or Child Welfare programs. Have any States' use of the Web progressed to the 'transaction' or 'commerce' phase to assist in providing direct services to their clients?

Can you please provide resources about the possible impact of welfare reform on child abuse and neglect?

Do you know of states that have developed data sharing agreements with Workforce Investment Boards, and/or are exercising their ability to share certain NCP data, per the "Welfare-to-Work and Child Support Amendments of 1999" (PL. 106-113)?
