Section 446.4 - Reimbursement for designated emergency foster family boarding home care

(a) The department will reimburse a public authorized agency for payments made to foster family parents who provide care in designated emergency homes at a rate which will not exceed 200 percent of the maximum State aid rate for children receiving nonemergency foster care services in that district for the first 60 days of a child's placement in a designated emergency foster family boarding home.

(b) Reimbursement by the department will be available to a public authorized agency for beds which have been reserved in designated emergency foster family boarding homes in accordance with the provisions of section 609.5(d) of this Title.

(c) Private authorized agencies which have established designated emergency foster care homes will be reimbursed in accordance with the terms of the purchase of service agreement which has been entered into with a social services district.
