Abstract: The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 1990, as amended, requires that States and Territories submit a biennial Plan (ACF-118) in order to receive Federal funds. The statutorily required Plan provides the public and ACF with a description of, and assurances about, the States' and Territories' child care programs. The ACF-118 is approved through June 30, 2008. In July 2007, States and Territories will submit their FY 2008-2009 Plans, which necessitates the extension of the ACF-118 with minor corrections and modifications.
