Interstate Compact on Placement of Children (ICPC)

ICPC allows for states to reciprocate Medical coverage for children living with foster parents in Kansas.  The children remain in the custody of the “sending state” and must be Title IV-E eligible.  The "sending state" provides verification of the child’s citizenship, identity and IV-E eligibility.  

Example:  Child in the custody of North Carolina moves with their foster family to Kansas.  North Carolina pays the foster home and Kansas issues a medical card to the family.

The following steps should be used to complete an ICPC Medical case:

  1. Complete File Clearance and Registration for the child.

  2. Complete Data Collection – Non-Financial pages:

      • Contact Summary – Enter address of foster care placement

      • Individual Demographics – Complete information provided by the sending state and select verify for all required fields.

      • Citizenship/Identity – Enter all required fields.  Sending state should verify citizenship and identity. If verification is not received:

        • Select Exempt from Verification from the Document Type on File drop-down menu for U.S. Citizenship Verification and Identity Verification.

        • Select Child in Foster Care or Recipient of Foster Care Maintenance from the Reason drop-down menu for U.S. Citizenship Verification and Identity Verification.
