When a child is placed in the custody of the Secretary of DCF for out of home placement, the PPS eligibility specialist shall determine the correct funding source for their foster care episode. The CPS Specialist is responsible for completing the PPS 5410 A, which provides information about the AFDC removal home.
The PPS eligibility specialist shall pend the eligibility determination if information regarding the family’s income and resources is not available or provided at the time of determination. A determination may be left in pending status for up to 30 days to allow time to acquire documents or information needed.
Enter GA01N PEN as the EP segment in FACTS and KEES for pending cases.
Once all the information is available to accurately determine the foster care funding source, delete the GA01N PEN and enter the correct funding source beginning with the first date the child entered foster care.
