Title IV-E Reviews — Peer Reviewer Qualifications

The Children’s Bureau conducts the Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility Reviews (IV-E Reviews) to monitor Title IV-E agencies’ compliance with federally mandated requirements under Title IV, Part E, of the Social Security Act. To that end, a IV-E Review team, which may include Peer Reviewers, conducts case record reviews using the Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility On-Site Review Instrument and Instructions. (Peer Reviewers are not used for every IV-E Review. The Children's Bureau may use up to two Peer Reviewers for a primary review and up to four Peer Reviewers for a secondary review.)

Peer Reviewers are Title IV-E experts who can make individual professional judgments regarding initial and ongoing eligibility for Title IV-E programs. They perform this work as participants in the IV-E Reviews. Peer Reviewers must have extensive knowledge of Title IV-E eligibility criteria. The qualifications for individuals interested in participating as Peer Reviewers include:

We encourage applications from bilingual and Spanish-speaking persons, and those with experience working in Tribal child welfare programs.
