# §309.150. What start-up costs are allowable for Tribal IV-D programs carried out under § 309.65(b) of this part?


Federal funds are available for costs of developing a Tribal IV-D program, provided that such costs are reasonable, necessary, and allocable to the program. Federal funding for Tribal IV-D program development under [§ 309.65(b)](/cfr/45/309.65.md?p=b) may not exceed a total of $500,000, unless additional funding is provided pursuant to [§ 309.16(c)](/cfr/45/309.16.md?p=c). Allowable start-up costs and activities include:

- (a) Planning for the initial development and implementation of a Tribal IV-D program;
- (b) Developing Tribal IV-D laws, codes, guidelines, systems, and procedures;
- (c) Recruiting, hiring, and training Tribal IV-D program staff; and
- (d) Any other reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs with a direct correlation to the initial development of a Tribal IV-D program, consistent with the cost principles in 2 CFR parts [200](/cfr/2/part200.md) and [300](/cfr/2/part300.md), [subpart E](/cfr/45/subpartE.md), and approved by the Secretary.
