Foster Parent Direct Deposit 622-05-65
(Revised 10/1/2019 ML #3564)

The ND Department of Human Services (NDDHS) issues a warrant check to licensed family foster care providers requiring reimbursement. It is requested that each foster home set up direct deposit into a personal bank account. Direct deposit is more efficient and allows a timely reimbursement.
The foster parent must submit third party verification (voided check or direct deposit letter from the bank) of their account information including:
- Bank Routing Number;
- Personal Account number; and
- Detailing if the account is a “checking or savings”.
The foster parent or authorized licensing agent worker can scan/email the direct deposit information to dhscfs@nd.gov or mail the information to:
Children and Family Services
Attn: Foster Care
600 East Boulevard Avenue #325
Bismarck, ND 58505
It is very IMPORTANT to forward all banking changes to Children and Family Services immediately in order to ensure correct and timely deposits.
NOTE: Foster parents licensed through PATH or LSS do not submit personal banking information to the Department. The Department has an agreement with licensed child placing agencies to receive reimbursement directly. The agency, in turn, will reimburse the foster parents depending on the level of care.
