The ND Department of Human Services is required by law (NDCC 50-11-03.5 Automated clearing house payments) to issue reimbursement to licensed foster care providers via direct deposit. Each licensed foster care provider must be set up with direct deposit into a personal back account.

 

The foster care provider must submit third party verification (voided check or direct deposit letter from the bank) of their account information including:

1. Bank Routing Number;
2. Personal Account number; and
3. Detailing if the account is a “checking or savings”.

The foster care provider or authorized licensing agent specialist can scan/email the direct deposit information to cfslicensing@nd.gov or mail the information to:

Children and Family Services

Attn: CFS Licensing Unit

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: The direct deposit law does not apply to Nexus PATH licensed foster care providers, as reimbursement on behalf of children in placement is done directly by Nexus PATH, not the CFS Licensing Unit. In addition, the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) program directly reimburses the licensed families; meaning CFS Licensing Unit does not need personal banking information.
