6.6 TRANSFERS OF FOSTER AND CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE CLIENTS Only a CPS/FC Case Manager may authorize the full transfer of a CPS or Foster Care child. There may be extenuating circumstances which require immediate actions from the CPS/FC Case Manager, which may include an effective transfer date that does not follow the seven-day notice rule. CMs must be aware of the provider’s notice policy and is required to give the provider as much notice as possible before moving the CPS/Foster child. A child care payment may be made for a CPS/Foster child requiring an out-of-state placement where the care is provided by a child care center. Due to child care providers being paid in advance of service delivery, when a client requests a transfer, payments may have already been made past the effective transfer date. In those cases, the transfer should be processed, and a receivable adjustment be completed from the effective transfer date to the last paid date. Upon completion of the receivable adjustment, the connections will be inserted to cover the time adjusted. Control Center staff may complete the transfer in the Child Care Scholarship database but should follow-up with an email to the appropriate CPS/FC eligibility worker informing them of the transfer request. The CPS/FC eligibility worker will then notify the county case manager of the request for transfer in order for the new referral form to be sent. NOTE: Case managers must submit a new DSS Form 3004 to reconnect a CPS or Foster child to a new provider.
