Charts are helpful tools used to reiterate policy and offer quick reference to allowable versus unallowable payment options. Below are two charts summarizing what is available to children placed in family foster care and group home/ Residential Child Care Facility (RCCF) foster care placements.

 

Irregular Payment Categories & Codes (Family)

The chart entitled “Irregular Payment Categories & Codes (Family)” outlines the categories, ages, expenditure limits, approval process, and a brief summary of what is allowable. Note that several categories are without expenditure limit, such as child care for foster child. This is due to factors which make setting expenditure limits for certain categories unrealistic. The custodian and others involved must base expenditure approvals on prevailing rates and local factors.

 

Irregular Payment Categories & Codes (Group & Residential Care)

The irregular payment policy has very limited application for group and residential care, as rates for those facilities are governed by N.D.A.C. Rate Setting 75-03-15. The chart entitled “Irregular Payment Categories & Codes (Group & Residential Care)” outlines the categories, ages, expenditure limits, approval process, and a brief summary of what is allowable. Not all irregular payment categories are eligible for this level of care.
