This program provides secondary insurance coverage for foster parents (over and above any other valid and collectable insurance held by the foster parents) for property damage and bodily injury caused by a child while the child is “in the care, custody and control” of the foster caregiver. DCFS automatically provides this coverage at no cost to all foster families and relative caregivers. The coverage is described in full in DCFS’ Administrative Procedure 13, which will be sent to foster caregivers who file a claim or request a copy.
