FCC Module 5 During Licensure Transcript Slide 5 Introduction

After a license has been issued, you will continue to monitor foster parents throughout their period of licensure.

Click on each circle to learn more about monitoring and compliance. Licensing Modifications

Once a license has been issued, conditions in the home may necessitate a change to a condition of the license. These are called modifications.

Modifications occur during the period of licensure when something effects conditions of the license, such as new people move into or out of the home, the age range of children being served changes, a marriage or divorce occurs, the capacity of the home changes, the physical address changes, there is a change in name, or there are additional

exceptions or waivers requested and granted.

All license modifications must be requested in writing and documented on the foster parent’s license and in eWiSACWIS. Modifications to the license may require additional assessment of the physical environment of the home, additional assessment, or

background checks.

(6)

Foster Care Coordinator Pre-Service Training | WCWPDS Page 6 of 6 A license modification only modifies the license for the current licensing period, it does not extend the license.

Monitoring & Compliance

Now that you have licensed foster parents, you have the responsibility to monitor their license throughout their licensing period. You’ll need to ensure that they remain in compliance with licensing requirements.

You also need to support them through challenging times. You heard about many ways to support families earlier in this course.

Should any licensing violations arise, you’ll need to address those.

Licensing violations exist on a spectrum, as does the response to a given violation, which can range from a discussion to revocation of a license. The type of response will depend on the severity and frequency of the violation and a determination of action made by the licensing agency.

Discussion

If the licensing violation was minor and can be easily corrected, your agency may choose to have a discussion with the licensee to address the issue.

Support Plan

You can also put a written support plan in place to address the issue of concern. http://dcf.wisconsin.gov/forms/pdf/dcf_f_cfs2131_e.pdf

Corrective Action Plan

If your agency feels that a stronger action is necessary due to the severity of the violation, you can institute a Corrective Action Plan, which outlines the licensing violation as well as the steps the foster parents will take to remedy the situation and avoid such violations in the future. Corrective Action Plans typically have actions that are agreed upon, corrective behaviors that must be adhered, and training that must be attended.

Revocation

Finally, if your agency has grounds to revoke a license, you should. Your agency can revoke a license if the licensing violation is severe enough, if there are a number of violations, or if there is an inability or unwillingness to correct the violation by the licensee.

Supervisor & Legal Counsel

Any decision to revoke a license should be done in consultation with a supervisor and may involve consultation with legal counsel for your agency. Any decision to revoke a foster care license, along with code citations of the violations, supporting information for the decision, and the right to appeal must be provided in writing to the licensee.

(7)

Based on Background Check Bar

If the revocation is based on a background check bar according to Ch. DHS 12, the agency must also complete the Negative Action Notice and send this to DCF. For agencies with access to eWiSACWIS this is completed electronically; for all other licensing agencies this is done by submitting the Negative Action Notice form: http://dcf.wisconsin.gov/forms/pdf/dcf_f_cfs2191.pdf

No Longer Support Placements in Home

Sometimes your agency may have enough concerns that you no longer support the placement of children in the home, but there is not enough information to support a revocation. In these instances your agency should discuss the concerns with the licensee and you may indicate that your agency will no longer consider additional

placements in the home. A licensing agency is not obligated to place children in a home just because a foster care license has been issued and the applicant may relinquish their license at any time.

Renewal or Non-Renewal

In addition to addressing licensing violations, you will also have a decision to make when a foster parents’ license comes up for renewal. At that time, you will make the choice, based on their compliance with licensing regulations and their care of children, whether to renew or deny. You have the ability to deny a license renewal if the licensee no longer meets the criteria for licensure as discussed earlier.

(8)

Slide 6

You call Leroy & Ernestine one morning to check in, and you hear Ernestine talking to someone in the background. She seems hesitant to tell you that her son Paul, who is 35, has been staying with them for the last three weeks. How would you handle this situation?

Open up the worksheet provided, read the full scenario, and write down your responses to each question. When you’re finished, discuss this scenario and your responses with your supervisor.

(

http://wcwpds.wisc.edu/related-training/fcc/m5/docs/FCC-m5-Monitoring-Compliance-Worksheet.docx)

(9)

Slide 7

Now that you’ve recorded your thoughts in the worksheet, here are some things to consider for this monitoring and compliance scenario.

Is this the first licensing violation?

Are there any concerns with the new household member? Are there any implications for space/sleeping arrangements? What does temporary mean to the family?

Is he willing to complete background checks?

Do they understand that he is not allowed to provide care for the children until background checks are completed?

Do they understand that others should not be caring for the children without agency approval?

Do they understand and review the importance of informing you of changes in the household membership?

Make sure there is documentation of your response, it is often important to

create written proof of actions taken in the event that something happens again and licensing actions need to be taken!

Slide 9

The Uniform Foster Care Rate for Wisconsin’s foster care programs was established in accordance with state statute to provide consistency in foster care payments and to ensure that adequate financial support is in place to address the needs of children in foster care.

Uniform Foster Care Rate setting applies to children placed by agencies who have “Placement and Care Responsibility.” The “agency” refers to either a county agency or the department.

This does not apply to a child placed or to be placed into a foster home that is licensed solely for the purpose of adoption of a domestic infant or a foreign child.

(12)

Slide 10

The initial determination of the foster care rate shall be made within 30 days of the child’s placement in a foster home and no less frequently than every 6 months thereafter.

A redetermination can be requested at any point in time by a foster parent or a private child placing agency on behalf of a foster parent. For example, if a child has been acting out in school and their increased needs result in higher supervision and time

requirements of the foster parents, they could request a redetermination.

(13)

Slide 11

An initial clothing allowance, in the amount of the actual cost, but not exceeding established maximums, may be paid for children initially entering foster care without sufficient clothing.

Maximums:

Age Group Clothing Allowance 0-4 Up to $225

5-11 Up to $263 12-14 Up to $300 15-18 Up to $300

The amount of the initial clothing allowance shall be the actual cost of the clothing not to exceed the maximums listed onscreen. Typically, agencies request receipts for clothing bought by the foster parent as proof of purchase before reimbursement is made.

If a child is placed in foster care 120 days or more after a previous out-of-home care placement episode was terminated, the placement shall be considered an initial placement for the purposes of eligibility for an initial clothing allowance.

A child who re-enters foster care within 120 days whose clothing allowance has not been exhausted may use the remaining balance.

(14)

Foster Care Coordinator Pre-Service Training | WCWPDS Page 14 of 14 Clothing is expected to be maintained by the foster parents through use of funds allotted in the Basic Maintenance rate. Approximately 6-13% of the basic maintenance portion of the monthly Uniform Foster Care Rate is expected to be used to maintain the child’s clothing. Therefore, no additional clothing allowances may be made.

Next, let’s learn more about the different parts that make up the total Uniform Foster Care Rate.

(15)

Slide 12

The Uniform Foster Care Rate is composed of three separate components: the Basic, Supplemental, and Exceptional rate. The Uniform Foster Care Rate is the foster care maintenance portion of the foster care rate that is paid to foster parents for the costs incurred in caring for a child.

It does not include the administrative costs paid to a private child placing agency for the services provided to support the placement of a child.

The full Uniform Foster Care Rate Setting Policy can be viewed at this link. http://dcf.wisconsin.gov/publications/pdf/0042.pdf

(16)

Foster Care Coordinator Pre-Service Training | WCWPDS Page 16 of 16 Slide 13

The Basic Maintenance Rate is a fixed monthly payment for the usual and customary costs incurred in caring for a foster child, including food, clothing, shelter, personal care, transportation, and recreation. The Basic maintenance rate is established biannually by the legislature. For Level 1 foster parents the amount is determined by the certification of the provider. For providers certified at Level 2 or above, the amount is determined by the age of the child.

The amounts are as follows:

Certified Level One 2013

Level 1 $220

Certified Above Level One Age of Child January 2013 0 – 4 $366

5 – 11 $400

12 – 14 $455 15 – 18 $475

When a foster child turns 5, 12, or 15 years of age, the foster parents will receive the next highest rate effective on the date on which the birthday occurs.

The Uniform Foster Care Rate Setting brochure explains the percentages typically spent on the basic necessities for children at various ages. This is intended as a guide.

(17)

Slide 14

The Supplemental portion of the foster care rate is based on the needs of the child and the Level of Care of the provider.

The Supplemental Point Algorithm comes from identified needs of the child taken from the CANS completed for the child. The value of each need in the algorithm rated a “2” or “3” is added and then multiplied by $8.00.

Additionally, if the provider’s Level of Care is higher than the child’s Level of Need, then $100 is added to support the placement of the child with the provider.

For additional information, review the Supplemental Points Calculations section of the Uniform Foster Care Rate Setting Policy.

http://dcf.wisconsin.gov/memos/num_memos/DSP/2012/2012-11_part5.pdf

To see which items are taken into consideration for the algorithm, view the CANS desk guide.

http://wcwpds.wisc.edu/related-training/fcc/m5/docs/CANS_Desk_Guide_Final_1.6.12.pdf

(18)

Slide 15

Exceptional costs are those costs that are above and beyond what is covered by the Basic and Supplemental portions of the foster care rate.

The placing agency may determine the frequency and amount of an exceptional payment necessary to meet one or more of the listed purposes.

The exceptional payment may be made for time-limited durations or for the average monthly costs. Any use of an exceptional payment must be accompanied by a justification by the rate setter of the costs and what it is to be used for. A guide to providing appropriate justifications can be found at this link:

http://wcwpds.wisc.edu/related-training/fcc/m5/docs/FCC-m5-UFCR-Exceptional-Narrative-Guide.pdf

(19)

FCC Module 5 During Licensure Transcript Slide 16 Introduction

An exceptional rate payment may be provided on behalf of a foster child only if at least

one of the following situations exists:

Least restrictive setting or current placement

The payment will enable the child to be placed or remain in a foster home instead of being placed or remaining in a more restrictive setting.

When considering this section, the following areas should be considered and its intensity level, this is not an exhaustive list:

• Activities the foster parent is expected to participate in for or with the foster child including, but not limited to:

• Specialized activities to support the needs of the child.

• Loss of work hours / losing sleep at night due to the child’s needs. • Increased frequency and interaction with the school (weekly or more). • Transportation for family interaction, court events, or agency related

activities that are greater than 30 miles. • Level of supervision the child needs

• Examples include stepping down from residential care, children with multiple previous placements, etc.

• Specialized trainings / care knowledge, outside of licensing requirements the foster parent is expected to know and be able to complete such as shared parenting assisting with family interaction.

(20)

Foster Care Coordinator Pre-Service Training | WCWPDS Page 20 of 20 • Administration and supervision of medication that require specialized training. • Increase in laundry or cleaning materials due to child’s specialized needs. • Specialized foods to meet a child’s dietary needs (i.e. gluten free products,

supplements, or cultural needs).

• Property destruction (it should be noted that if this is included in the foster care rate, then the foster parent may not seek a claim through the Foster Parent Insurance Program for damage that is foreseen/expected and included in the foster care rate).

• Incidentals for the child not covered under the basic maintenance or the supplemental payments such as costs related to allow the child to attend a camp, participate in sports, etc.

• Child care costs not covered by Wisconsin Shares (“Shares”) under the following circumstances:

• The foster parent must have applied for and been denied Shares or the amount approved by Shares does not cover the costs to the foster parent. In the instance where Shares does not cover the full costs only the difference between what Shares will cover and the costs from the Child care provider may be covered.

• The foster parent was unable to identify a child care provider with a YoungStar rating of 3 or more stars within reasonable vicinity relative to their home or place of employment; or there are no openings available with a provider with a higher YoungStar rating.

• For new placements only, the child care costs differences between a YoungStar rating of 2 may be included for up to 3 months to allow the foster parent time to enroll with a provider with a higher YoungStar rating.

• Child care costs shall not be included in the exceptional rate if the foster parent chooses to use a child care provider with a YoungStar rating of 1 or 2 and there are providers with a YoungStar rating of 3 or higher available. Child care costs to a provider with a YoungStar rating of 1 or to an unrated provider shall not be included in the exceptional rate.

Placement of minor child/parent & siblings together

The payment will enable the placement of siblings or minor parent and minor children together.

Typically a $100 payment is added to each sibling’s rate when placed in the same home.

For minor parents placed with their minor children who are not on their own court order, the basic rate for the minor child if that child were placed in foster care shall be added to the minor parents’ foster care rate to provide for the needs of the minor child.

Transportation to school of origin

The payment will assist with transportation to the school the child was attending prior to placement in out-of-home care.

(21)

To promote the educational stability of children in foster care, agencies may provide payments for costs associated with transporting a child to and from the school the child was enrolled in (school of origin) at the time of placement into out-of-home care. This cost shall be documented under the Exceptional Payments under Transportation to School of Origin. Only reimbursement made to foster parents shall be claimed here.

To qualify, the transportation shall be out of the foster parent’s normal route and longer than would normally be expected for a prudent parent to travel to take a child to school, such as a distance greater than 20 miles each way. The agency shall use the average monthly miles multiplied by the agency’s transportation rate for foster parents to

determine the amount to be included.

Replace damaged wardrobe

To replace a child’s basic wardrobe that has been lost or destroyed in a manner other than normal wear and tear.

An as-needed exceptional rate payment for wardrobe replacement is appropriate for reasons such as sudden growth spurts that are not equated with average growth of the child. For children with special circumstances that result in unusual wear and tear of clothing (such as those wearing prosthetics), those circumstances are taken into account in the supplemental rate, therefore agencies should not build in an additional amount for clothing into the exceptional rate.

Equalization

For a child placed in a foster home before February 21, 2011, and who remains placed in that foster home, equalize the total payment amount lost by the child’s foster parent due to implementation of the method of determining supplemental payments listed in section IV. of this policy.

All children placed in any foster home prior to February 21, 2011 shall continue at the same total foster care rate for the duration of that child’s placement with that provider. Level 1 or 2 foster homes who become certified as a Level 3 or 4 home or any foster parent who becomes licensed by a different licensing agency and who has continually cared for a child in their home that was placed prior to February 21, 2011 shall continue at the rate they were eligible for at that time and was previously justified, unless the child’s needs necessitate a higher rate.

This portion of the rate may decrease if the child’s needs change significantly.

This rate does not follow the child if the child moves to a new placement. If a child moves the rate shall be established according to this policy based on the foster parent the child is placed with and the child’s assessed needs.

(22)

Slide 17

The total Uniform Foster Care Rate is based on adding up the Basic, Supplemental, and Exceptional components of the Uniform Foster Care Rate. The total may not exceed the maximum $2,000.00.

(23)

Slide 18

The Department and County Departments of Social and Human Services may not make any payments for maintenance items in addition to the basic maintenance,

supplemental and exceptional rate payments and the initial clothing allowance. Agencies may not include the following in the foster care rate:

• Services, such as respite care,

• Medicaid reimbursable services that should be covered through Medicaid, such as medical equipment, transportation to medical / therapeutic appoints, etc.

• Medical services not covered by Medicaid, such as therapies.

• Periodic clothing allowances, other than those described in this policy. • An amount for clothing is included in the initial clothing allowance, the basic

maintenance rate and, possibly, the supplemental or exceptional rate. Any additional payment for clothing would be considered a duplicate payment and subject to

financial disallowance.

(24)

Slide 19

You’ve learned how to determine the foster care rate, and now you’ll see how to document the maintenance rate in eWiSACWIS.

To access the Foster Care Rate Page, which will be shown on the next slide, you will choose “Foster Care Rate” from the “Placement/Services” drop-down.

(25)

Slide 20

Once the CANS is completed, you can see the Supplemental Rate on the Foster Care Rate Page auto-calculates for you. This page will show additional information about the CANS, including the effective date, the child’s Level of Need, the provider’s Level of Care, and the Supplemental Rate. On this page, you’ll also see the information for the other portions of the rate for this child, as well as the narrative boxes for justifying the Exceptional Rates for a child.

(26)

Slide 21

Each agency shall designate a person to determine supplemental and exceptional rates for foster children. The rate setting function shall be performed by an administrator, supervisor or advanced social work practitioner. The designated rate setter shall not have an active foster care caseload.

When a child is placed with a licensing agency that is different than the placing agency, such as a private child placing agency or another county agency, then the rate setter shall allow the licensing agency of the foster parent to participate in the determination of supplemental and exceptional payments.

The licensing agency is allowed to:

• Review the payment amount that a placing agency is proposing for a child's placement and discuss the child's needs with the placing agency.

• Inform a prospective foster parent of the placing agency's proposed payment amount.

• Recommend any modifications to the payment amount that the placing agency has proposed.

• Participate with the placing agency, foster parent, and treatment team members in the redetermination of the payment amount following a reassessment.

• At a foster parent's request, assist a foster parent in resolving a disagreement between the foster parent and the placing agency regarding a payment amount before the foster parent requests a fair hearing.

(27)

The rate setter, after reviewing the recommendation and documentation submitted by the child’s caseworker, and if applicable the licensing agency, shall approve, deny or modify the uniform foster care rate payments.

Once a decision has been made, the foster parent has the right to request a fair hearing if he or she disagrees with the result of the determination or redetermination.

(28)

Slide 22

There are two reports that can assist agencies in monitoring compliance with Uniform Foster Care Rate Setting.

The Rate Review Timeliness Report: is used for monitoring purposes and lists Rate

Reviews being made in a timely fashion by counties on children who were in care within the reporting period.

The Out-of-Home Care Rates Report: contains information related to placement rates

for children in out-of-home care (OHC). Any average found in this report is a 12 month rolling average. All averages include only those foster care payments that are paid placements.

A full explanation of each report can be found in this guide:

http://wcwpds.wisc.edu/related-training/fcc/m5/docs/FCC-m5-UFCR-Reports-Guide.pdf

DCF monitors compliance with timeliness and ensuring the appropriate justification is included for exceptional rates through regional Maximus staff. The procedure for monitoring compliance can be found here:

Slide 24

Leroy & Ernestine’s granddaughter Jenna recently began to have behavioral problems at school. She has been suspended 3 times in the past month, and Ernestine is now working closely with school staff to address concerns. Due to the changes in time and supervision needs with the school, a rate re-determination has been requested.

Which narrative appropriately justifies the exceptional rate for Jenna?

• Jenna is naughty at school and if the department does not give more money, the family will request removal.

• Caring for this child is a full-time job, and this is justified because they earned it. • The child has educational and behavioral needs that require additional time and

supervision by the foster parents.

• Medical assistance won’t pay for Jenna’s behavioral health needs in the school setting, so this offsets costs incurred by the foster parents.

(32)

Slide 25

(33)

Slide 26

The Foster Parent Liability Insurance Program was created by the Wisconsin

Legislature to ensure that foster parents are reimbursed for damages or loss which are caused, either on purpose or by accident, by children placed in their care, and which are not covered by private insurance policies. Any foster parent licensed in the state of Wisconsin is eligible to file a claim under this program when the child is in custody of the county or state. However, this program is the "insurer of last resort" and should only be used when a private insurer will not cover any damages or loss.

Foster parents are required to have: homeowner's or renter's insurance (unless waived by the licensing agency) that covers negligent acts committed by foster children that result in bodily injury or property loss to the foster home resident's personal property; insurance on buildings on the property; and coverage on vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, ATV's, etc. This program is designed to cover injury or damage caused by the foster child to foster parents that is not covered by private insurance policies. In some cases, private insurers will not cover damage or loss. In addition, this program may cover injury or damage caused by foster parents to the foster child or for acts by foster parents for which they are sued by the child's parent. The state Foster Parent Insurance Program does not cover third party claims, unless the foster parent is sued by the third party.

Background Information

Leroy calls you one morning and tells you that the night before, Michael and Jenna were playing baseball in the front yard and Jenna hit a ball into a window, breaking the

window. He says that it was an accident, but he's worried about getting it fixed quickly and is concerned about the cost to repair it coming out of their security deposit. You remind Leroy about the Foster Parent Liability Insurance Program and you schedule a time to go to their home to inspect the damage.

You give him some of the paperwork to fill out, reminding him that you will need to submit this within 90 days of the incident, and that you'll fill out your paperwork before sending the completed claim to DCF for reimbursement.

Leroy filled out the forms to submit the claim to the Foster Parent Liability Insurance Program .
