TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: Amendment of the rule 5101:2-47-23.1

This letter transmits an amended rule for Title IV-E foster care maintenance. The rule has been revised through a collaborative partnership between ODJFS, public children service agencies (PCSAs), private child placing agencies (PCPAs) and private noncustodial agencies (PNAs). The rule will be effective April 30, 2016.

OAC 5101:2-47-23.1 entitled Title IV-E Agency Contracting and Contract Monitoring sets forth the requirements when a public children services agency (PCSA) contracts with a private network provider for substitute care placements. The rule requires the PCSA to enter all contracting information into the statewide automated child welfare information system (SACWIS) to be able to enter a placement with a PNA.
