How can counties access more Title IV-E when no State General Fund is available as the match?
Counties are allocated State General Fund (SGF) for CWS administrative expenditures. Title IV-E is an entitlement program which is uncapped. Therefore, if a county can pay the entire match to draw down Title IV-E after the SGF allocation is spent, the county can draw down additional Title IV-E funds. For example, counties can use donated funds or county-only funds as match.
