FCASPL 3 (ICPC and Title IV-E and ICPC Case Numbers - Archive)
Family, Children and Adult Services Procedure Letter No. 3
February 5, 1990
TO: Directors, County Departments of Human Services Executive Secretaries, Children Services Boards Directors, Private Child Placing Agencies
FROM: Roland T. Hairston, Director
SUBJECT: Identification of Title IV-E Eligible Children Placed Through the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) and Usage of ICPC Case Numbers

As a result of the Consolidated Omnibus Budged Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), many states are requiring that interstate compact requests to place children in their states address IV-E eligibility, otherwise they will not be processed. Therefore, Ohio agencies should indicate in the upper left-hand corner of the Interstate Compact Placement Request ICPC 100A Form (ODHS 1661, Rev. 7/86) whether the child is or is not eligible for Title IV-E.

Please include the Ohio ICPC case number on all interstate correspondence. The only exception is a new request for service because the ICPC case number is assigned after a case has been processed by the Ohio Department of Human Services, Bureau of Operations. Failure to provide this number may cause a delay in processing interstate requests.
