7 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION:
1. Meeting the Requirements of Title IV-E of the Social Security ACT, page 10… Presented at SAAG training conference 2003
2. SAAG Conference - Seminar Agenda 2002
3. SAAG Conference – Seminar Agenda 1999
4. Survey of Ten (10) Judges
8 th Quarter Report: Achieved: The Annual SAAG Training did not include sessions specifically on the federal review. There were
sessions on permanency in general. The survey of judges did occur as documented under D6. This Action Step and Action Step D6
are essentially the same. The state contends that most if not all of the participants are the same at both conferences whereby
permanency is of discussion. While the SAAG conference did not specifically have topics on CFSR, permanency was certainly
trained on.
