Approval of an Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) placement is valid for six months from the date that the other state’s interstate compact officeapproves and signs the Placement Request (100A). DFPS has until the end of the approval period to determine whether to place the child with the family.
The other state’s interstate compact office may give an extension to allow a child to complete the school year or semester. The caseworker notifies TICO for approval of an extension before the Placement Request (100A) expires. If an extension goes beyond six months, the approval expires and the caseworker must begin the approval process again.
