The Foster Care and Medical program block is registered with the application date the child was placed in foster care.
A new Placement will display every time a child changes placement and updates on the Foster Care program block from data collection pages.
When a Discontinue date displays on the Foster Care program block it usually represents the day a child is considered no longer in Foster Care.
In specific scenarios a child might return home but if returns to foster care < 6 months will show a continuous eligibility. Use the Status Reason on a Discontinued Foster Care program block to decipher a case. |

The Medical program block may remain open longer than the Foster Care program block. PPS uses a 15/30 rule for timely closure of a Foster Care medical program block. If a child leaves foster care past the 15th of a month the medical will Discontinue effective the end of the following month.
When a child is adopted the Aid Code will update to ASM. |

A PPS Vendor Payments (VenPay) program block may or may not display on a PPS case summary. A Status of an PPS Vendor Payments (VenPay) program block does not have any impact on medical eligibility. |
