SUBCHAPTER E: REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSURE

These procedures are written as directives to licensing representatives/licensing workers to use when implementing Rule 402, Licensing Standards for Foster Family Homes, and determining issuance/non-issuance of foster family home license.

For initial or renewal licensing study visits, licensing representatives shall document compliance on form CFS 590, Foster Family Home License Compliance Record, hereafter referred to as the CFS 590.

For annual, semi-annual, or other visits, licensing representatives may document compliance on form CFS 597-FFH, Family Foster Home License Monitoring Record, hereafter referred to as the CFS 597-FFH, or the CFS 597-C, Licensing Monitoring Record.

Licensing representatives may continue using the CFS 590 to document annual, semi-annual, or other visits at the discretion of the supervisory agency.

The licensing representative may carry out the instructions in these procedures to "document compliance on the CFS 590" by completing the CFS 597-FFH or the CFS 597-C, if appropriate.

NOTE: Spanish licensing materials, e.g. applications, forms, and letters, are available for foster parents for whom Spanish is the preferred language of communication. These may be ordered in the usual and customary manner.

Some sections of Rule 402, Licensing Standards for Foster Family Homes are self-explanatory and do not require a corresponding procedure. In such instances, that section of the procedure will be blank, with a designation of double equal signs (==) in the margin.
