Payment Information - Other

When a placement requires a decision of critical importance concerning the child, the county having financial responsibility for foster care payment will make the decision in consultation with the custodian. Placements made in critical situations, i.e., emergencies may receive a daily rate of $30 per day for the first 15 days placement. If care extends for more than 15 days, the regular daily rate will apply beginning with the 16th day of placement. Use Category 30, and enter code 31, “Emergency Foster Care Placement” on the appropriate CCWIPS payment screen.

 

This irregular payment is computed by subtracting the daily age appropriate rate from $30.00. The difference will be paid as an irregular payment, Code 31, “Emergency Foster Care Placement.”
