The effective date for beginning foster care maintenance payments is the date the child meets all eligibility requirements for foster care assistance. DFPS pays for the calendar day on which a child is placed, but not for the calendar day the child is discharged. DFPS does not pay two different facilities for foster care assistance for the same child on the same date. As a result, the conservatorship caseworker must document in the case record the date the child enters and leaves each facility.

DFPS Rules, 40 TAC §700.329
