The other state’s compact office notifies TICO about its decision by completing Section IV of the Placement Request (100A), and mailing TICO:

  •   one copy of the home screening; and

  •   one copy of the signed Placement Request (100A) with the placement recommendation.

TICO must upload the home screening and signed Placement Request (100A) in IMPACT.

Federal law requires states to complete a home screening and provide a written report on the results of the screening to the sending state within 60 calendar days of receiving a placement request.
