 When a foster parent informs the Worker that he plans to move to some other country temporarily or permanently and indicates a desire to take the foster child get with the family unit, a decision is fabricated as speedily as possible whether it is in the child's best interest to accompany the foster parent.  The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) requires that all interstate placements be arranged through the Interstate Services Unit's Compact Ambassador. See CP&P-VIII-D-one-200 .

If the child is to be sent to the receiving state more than 40-v (45) days in the future , the normal procedures of ICPC for an interstate placement are initiated. However, the ICPC-100A and the information accompanying it conspicuously signal that the family unit of measurement is relocating merely is not yet in the receiving state. Every bit much information as reasonably possible is given to the receiving state apropos the location and character of the intended family home in the receiving land.

If the conclusion to relocate into another state is less than forty-five (45) days before the appointment of relocation, the following procedures take place:

•     An ICPC-100A and its supporting documentation are prepared immediately by the Worker.

•     The documentation is processed promptly, no more than 15 days after the child has relocated to the receiving state, by the Interstate Services Unit.

•     The documentation is then transmitted to the receiving state's Compact Administrator.

Interstate services are not needed if a foster child is going out-of-state for a visit. A "visit," as defined by the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, is less than 30 days or for the duration of schoolhouse vacation.

CP&P retains full fiscal and planning responsibility for out-of-state foster children in accordance with the guidelines for the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. Cases must remain open up on foster children who motion out-of-state until the time that the example would unremarkably exist terminated.

The foster parent is informed of the procedures for continuing board payments which are contingent on the Office Manager'due south approval. Come across CP&P-8-D-2-400. The foster parent is provided with information for obtaining medical and/or other services in the other state. See also CP&P-V-A-two-600 , Medicaid Coverage for IV-E Children Moving out of or into New Jersey, and CP&P-Five-A-ii-700 , Medicaid Coverage for Children Placed Out-of-State.

The foster parent is also brash of the necessity for CP&P to obtain courtesy supervision from the appropriate out-of-state agency, and that some states, like New Jersey, require that all foster parents be licensed by the country licensing authority. If the foster home does not meet the standards of the new country of residence, corrective action must be taken, if the child's placement in the foster habitation is to continue.

The Interstate Meaty Ambassador or similar authorisation in the other state is advised of the proposed motility and asked to provide courtesy supervision. The request is transmitted through the Interstate Services Unit. Supervision and periodic reports are mostly provided by the out-of-state agency.

The Interstate Services Unit reviews and forwards the material to the appropriate part in the other state, including any special didactics or request which is indicated. Specific arrangements are fabricated with the out-of-state agency for parental visits. CP&P is responsible for renegotiating visitation agreements previously fabricated with the parent. The Interstate Services Unit forward a copy of the answer from the other state agency regarding acceptance of courtesy supervision and a re-create of the signed ICPC-100A to the Local Office for their data and file.
