A Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS; pronounced "see-whis") is a case management information system that states and tribes may develop to support their child welfare program needs. If a state or tribe elects to build a CCWIS compliant system, the federal government will provide additional funds to help pay for it as long as the system is designed to support social workers automation needs to organize and record quality case information about the children and families receiving child welfare services. The CCWIS regulation is effective August 1, 2016, and supersedes SACWIS requirements. It governs the way in which state and tribal title IV-E agencies will claim federal funding for child welfare information systems that support the administration of title IV-E and IV-B programs.
