The NA and NR match symbols are limited to the ten counties of financial responsibility as noted in Service Chapter 447. These match symbols apply to any Native American foster child whose parent(s) lived on the reservation at the time the child entered foster care.

 

The only two instances where the “NR” code should be used is when you have a “NA” Federal Matching Indian case and there is a secondary placement, or you have a “NA” case where DJS has custody and the child is not IV-E eligible.  

 

A child under tribal custody who is coded Native American Federal Match “NA” will lose Title IV-E eligibility when s/he turns 18 years of age and will not graduate prior to age 19. The case must be closed as of the last day of the month in which s/he turns 18. At this point, the tribe becomes financially responsible.
