Due to the amendments made to OAC 5101:2-48-05 entitled Agency adoption policy and recruitment plan, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is extending the due date for this fiscal year's adoption recruitment plan from May 1, 2009 to June 1, 2009. This will allow PCSAs, PCPAs, and PNAs time to incorporate the required information as specified in the amended rule which is effective on May 15, 2009.

If you have already submitted your agency's foster care and adoption recruitment plan, please use this time to ensure the plan's compliance with the amended rule and resubmit your plan if necessary.

For questions regarding this Procedure Letter, please contact your technical assistance specialist or your licensing specialist.
