NEICE: TO SUPPORT NATIONWIDE IMPLEMENTATION OF SECURE INTEROPERABLE CHILD WELFARE DATA EXCHANGE TO ENSURE TIMELY, SAFE INTERSTATE PLACEMENTS FOR 30,000+ CHILDREN ANNUALLY AND ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY - THE NATIONAL ELECTRONIC INTERSTATE COMPACT ENTERPRISE (NEICE) IS A SECURE NATIONAL DATA EXCHANGE SYSTEM THAT MODERNIZES THE INTERSTATE COMPACT ON THE PLACEMENT OF CHILDREN (ICPC) PROCESS, ENABLING JURISDICTIONS TO QUICKLY AND SAFELY EVALUATE INTERSTATE PLACEMENTS FOR CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE, ADOPTION, AND RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2014, NEICE HAS TRANSFORMED A SLOW, PAPER-BASED PROCESS INTO AN EFFICIENT ELECTRONIC SYSTEM NOW USED BY 47 STATES, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, NEICE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED NATIONWIDE ACROSS ALL ICPC JURISDICTIONS WITH STRENGTHENED INTEROPERABILITY, SECURITY, AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY TO SUPPORT TIMELY, SAFE PLACEMENTS FOR CHILDREN. INCREASED INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER HUMAN SERVICE PROGRAMS AND SYSTEMS WILL ENSURE ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE SERVICES, PREVENT DUPLICATION OF SERVICES, AND REDUCE FRAUD AND SYSTEM ABUSE. THIS PROJECT WILL ENSURE TIMELY, SAFE INTERSTATE PLACEMENTS FOR 30,000+ CHILDREN ANNUALLY AND INCREASE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE ICPC PROCESS.

CONTINUING THE NATIONAL ELECTRONIC INTERSTATE COMPACT ENTERPRISE (NEICE) TO EXPEDITE INTERSTATE PLACEMENTS OF CHILDREN - THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HUMAN SERVICES ASSOCIATION AS SECRETARIAT FOR THE ASSOCIATION OF THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE INTERSTATE COMPACT ON THE PLACEMENT OF CHILDREN SEEKS CONTINUED SUPPORT TO ADVANCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRONIC INTERSTATE COMPACT ENTERPRISE. NEICE IS A NATIONAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR QUICKLY AND SECURELY EXCHANGING THE DATA AND DOCUMENTS REQUIRED BY THE INTERSTATE COMPACT ON THE PLACEMENT OF CHILDREN TO PLACE CHILDREN ACROSS STATE LINES.

TODAY 47 STATES ARE FULLY ONBOARDED TO NEICE AND THREE STATES ARE WORKING TO COMPLETE THEIR ONBOARDING. CONTINUED FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP ON NEICE WILL ENABLE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM WHICH MEETS THE FAMILY FIRST PREVENTION SERVICES ACT OF 2018 MANDATE REQUIRING ALL STATES PROCESS INTERSTATE CASES ELECTRONICALLY BY 2027.
