Caseworkers must not enter into an agreement on behalf of DFPS that violates federal or state law and regulations, the minimum standard rules, or DFPS policy.
Prohibited actions include but are not limited to:
• agreeing to place a child in a placement if there is not a current, approved kinship home assessment or foster or adoptive home screening in place;
• guaranteeing to provide an adoption subsidy or permanency care assistance (PCA). Caseworkers may agree to pursue such funding as options, but cannot guarantee that a family will qualify for and receive the funding.
