The agency (DFCS) is ultimately responsible for the financial care of the child. In certain instances, foster parents may pay out-of-pocket for expenses incurred on behalf of the child in their home. Such expenses may be fully reimbursed when prior approval is given. Foster parents should never assume that the agency will be able to cover a particular expense. REMEMBER, OBTAIN PRIOR APPROVAL BEFORE MAKING ANY OUT-OF-POCKET PURCHASES ON BEHALF OF A CHILD FOR WHICH YOU NEED TO BE REIMBURSED!
