Types of Providers
Each family foster home, relative and adoptive provider shall be linked to a specific provider identification number. Linking providers to a unique ID numbers is an AFCARS requirement. For each of these three placement types, flow to the provider listing (PRLS), select desired provider, and return to RESP to update and process the placement service action with the provider ID linked to the placement type. If a provider is not listed in PRLS, they need to be added. Information on how to add providers to FACTS is found in the FACTS User Manual volume II, Section 600 Provider Maintenance.
Provider Maintenance
For each of the three provider types above, a PROM screen shall be entered and updated by the Child Welfare Contract Management Provider as needed. Race, ethnicity, gender, date of birth, and family structure codes are AFCARS requirements and mandatory fields for completion.
