The plan is required for all Tribes requesting funding; however, once a Tribe has met the requirements to operate a comprehensive program, a new plan is not required annually unless a Tribe makes changes to its title IV-D program. If a Tribe or Tribal organization intends to make any substantial or material changes, a Tribal IV-D plan amendment must be submitted for approval. Tribes and Tribal organizations must have an approved plan and submit any required plan amendments in order to receive funding to operate a Tribal IV-D program.
