ELIGIBILITY
• The Eligibility chapter provides requirements, procedures and practice guidance related to eligibility for funding of placement and medical services for children in foster care.
• This chapter replaces the former Chapter 1003 of the Foster Care Services Manual and includes an updated policy format.
ELIGIBILITY
The policies in the new Eligibility chapter have been updated to include the following:
• New Juvenile Code • Processes for Medicaid and Title IV-E funding
determinations• Title IV-E language eligibility requirements including
“contrary to the welfare” and “reasonable efforts” requirements
• SHINES processes for eligibility determination• Several changes to the Reasonable Efforts policy
ELIGIBILITY Reasonable Efforts Updates to when reasonable efforts are not required include:
1. When parental rights have been involuntarily terminated with respect to a child’s sibling and the circumstances leading to such termination have not been resolved;2. When the parent or legal guardian has committed sexual abuse against the surviving child or another child of the parent; or3. When the parent or legal guardian is required to register as a sex offender under section 113 (a) of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.
Eligibility
Reasonable Efforts• Outlines the reasonable efforts DFCS must
demonstrate at each hearing• Incorporates factors considered by the court in
determining reasonable efforts• Incorporates the definition of aggravated
circumstances
EligibilityReasonable EffortsAggravated circumstances means the parent has:
a. Abandoned a child;b. Aided or abetted, attempted, conspired, or solicited to commit murder or voluntary manslaughter of another child of such parent;c. Subjected a child or his or her sibling to torture, chronic abuse, sexual abuse, or sexual exploitation;
d.

The Division of Family and Children Services’ (DFCS) Foster Care Program functions to strengthen families, protect children from further abuse/neglect, and assure every child has a permanent family. When it is necessary for children to experience out of home placements due to safety threats in their own homes, DFCS is committed to ensuring their safety and well-being, while also pursuing permanency.
