Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Division:

Family Safety and Preservation Program

Chapter:

OUT-OF-HOME CARE

Overview

RULE:

65C-28.008

Relative Caregiver Program Requirements

PURPOSE:

The Department intends to amend rule 65C-28.008, F.A.C., to update two incorporated forms and remove some responsibilities of the child protection investigator and case manager.

SUMMARY:

The Relative Caregiver Communication form is renamed the Child Welfare Communication form so that it can be utilized as a universal form for other programs.  Additionally, the form now includes a process to notify the Economic Self-Sufficiency program when a family changes from receiving a relative/non-relative caregiver payment to receiving a foster care board payment.
The Application for Nonrelative Caregiver Financial Assistance is amended for clarification and to align with rule and procedures.
Responsibilities of the child protection investigator and case manager already contained in policy are removed from the rule.
