This ACL supersedes ACL No. 07-14E as it addressed the claiming of administrative costs for non-relative extended family members (NREFMs).  It is not permissible for the state to claim any costs (administrative, maintenance, etc.) associated with otherwise eligible children who are placed in foster care with a NREFM whose home is pending licensure or approval, effective 7/1/12. Claiming such costs, pending approval, is limited to relatives. Once the NREFM is approved, claiming of IVE administrative and maintenance costs may begin provided all other eligibility conditions are met.  If approval activities are done during the same month the NREFM’s home is approved; administrative costs for that particular month can be claimed. [Download]

A reminder of the obligation not only to investigate abuse/neglect, but also to report foster homes to licensing where problems are suspected.  This is because licensing and CPS have different roles. [Download]
