HHS Adds Two Peer Support Programs to Title IV-E Clearinghouse for Federal Reimbursement
The Department of Health and Human Services announced August 18 that its Administration for Children and Families added two behavioral health peer support programs to the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse: Family-Based Recovery (in-home treatment for parents with addiction who have children ages 0-5) and Wellness Recovery Action Plan (peer-facilitated mental health and addiction recovery coaching). The additions allow all states to claim federal reimbursement for these services under Title IV-E prevention. This expands state options for using federal funds to support families with substance use disorders and mental health conditions in child welfare prevention programs.
States can now draw federal Title IV-E funds for these peer support models without needing independent evidence reviews, potentially reducing general fund costs for behavioral health services in child welfare prevention.
