The FAD worker must ensure that an individual who is not a verified foster parent and wants to provide intermittent alternate care (IAC) services to a child in DFPS conservatorship has first established an individual contract with DFPS.

The FAD worker must ensure that, before the individual contract for IAC services is established, the approved IAC provider must agree to:

  •   comply with regulations, policies, and procedures as specified by DFPS;

  •   submit the completed Form 2082Word Document Intermittent Alternate Care Contract to DFPS as stated in the individual's IAC contract;

  •   inform DFPS immediately of any significant problems that arise with a child in DFPS conservatorship while providing IAC services; and

  •   acknowledge that DFPS cannot guarantee the frequency of IAC use.
