To request approval from State Office, the regional requester submits the following:

• Form 2422 Enhanced Adoption Assistance Cover Memo
• Form 2425 Documentation for Enhanced Adoption Assistance
• Related documents

Form 2422 requires the signatures and approval of each of the following people:

• The requester (eligibility specialist or negotiator).
• The child’s caseworker.
• The caseworker’s supervisor.
• The program director.

State Office processes requests for enhanced adoption assistance within 10 working days. If the submitted packet is incomplete, then additional time may be required.

Upon completion of the review, State Office emails a memo of approval or denial to the regional director and the approvers who signed Form 2422.
