Sec. 16.
(a) A
foster parent may request a review of the child's category of supervision as
determined in accordance with section 14 of this rule.
(b) A request by a foster parent for review
of the child's category of supervision must be submitted in writing to the FCM
or probation officer who manages the child's case plan no later than thirty
(30) days after the written notice of the child's category of supervision has
been sent to the foster parent. Notice is effective upon mailing of the notice
disclosing the child's category of supervision to the foster parent's address.
A request for review of the child's initially approved category of supervision
submitted more than thirty (30) days after the notice of the child's category
of supervision was mailed will not be considered.
(c) The request for review of the child's
category of supervision shall be submitted in the form and manner specified by
the department and shall include, but not be limited to, the following items:
(1) Identification of the child's current
category of supervision.
(2) A
clear, concise statement of the reasons for the requested change.
(3) A detailed statement of related
information in support of the change.
An incomplete request for review of the child's category of supervision that does not include at least the items specified in this subsection cannot be accepted or processed.
(d) When a request for a review of the
category of supervision that complies with subsection (c) is received, the FCM
or probation officer will hold a meeting with the foster parent to discuss the
needs of the child within fourteen (14) days of the request for review. The
department's local office director or designee, or the chief probation officer
or designee, must be in attendance at this meeting. Notice of the outcome of
the review must be given by the department's local office director or designee
or the chief probation officer or designee, in writing, to the foster parent
within five (5) business days of the meeting.
(e) No request for review of the child's
category of supervision will be acted upon if the foster parent has a current
license that is in the process of being revoked by the department.
(f) The payment for enhanced supervision
needs, as determined by the child's category of supervision, established under
section 14 of this rule, will remain in effect while the request for review of
the child's category of supervision is pending the result of the review. The
child's category of supervision, as affirmed or revised by the department's
local office director or designee, or the chief probation officer or designee,
upon completion of the review, will be effective as of the date of the notice
of the outcome of the review. Any payments made by the department to the foster
parent after the effective date will be adjusted in accordance with the final
approved category of supervision for the child.
