When a court issues its final order, the caseworker must:

  •   complete Form 2261 Compact Report ICPC (100B);

  •   obtain a copy of the final court order;

  •   keep one copy of each document (the report and court order) in the child’s case file; and

  •   send one copy of each document to the regional ICPC coordinator, who then forwards the documents to TICO.

TICO then:

  •   closes its file on the child; and

  •   sends Form 2261 Compact Report ICPC (100B) and the final court order to the receiving state’s interstate compact office for closure.

If the court order that completes the interstate placement process involves the child’s discharge from substitute care, the caseworker must, to the extent possible, apply the policies specified in 6180 Discharging Children From Substitute Care.
