Department designated agency for administration of federal money for child welfare; acceptance of increase in benefits from Federal Government; certain agencies which provide child welfare services required to enter into agreements to maximize federal money

1. The Department, through the Division, shall act as the single state agency of the State of Nevada and its political subdivisions in the administration of any federal money granted to the State to aid in the furtherance of any services and activities for child welfare.

2. If the Congress of the United States passes any law increasing the participation of the Federal Government in a Nevada Program for Child Welfare, either as relates to eligibility for assistance or otherwise, the Director is authorized to accept, with the approval of the Governor, the increased benefits of that legislation. The Division may adopt such standards as are required by the Congress of the United States as a condition to the acceptance of those benefits.
