Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
The agency may pay for non medical transportation not to exceed current Department mileage rates paid to Department staff. Reasonable travel to the child's home for visitation is a Title IV E allowable expense. All other transportation expenses are billed to General Fund:
(1) Visitation: When family visitation is part of the service plan, the foster parent may be reimbursed for providing transportation to and from visits. When the child or young adult is in a residential care and treatment facility and the written treatment plan includes visitation with parents or relatives, the cost of the visits are expected to be shared by the Department, service provider, and child's family. Negotiations with the provider and the child's family to determine Department cost are made in advance of the visits.
(2) School: When the child or young adult is in family foster care and the school district does not provide transportation, the foster parents may be reimbursed for providing transportation or for city bus passes when appropriate.
(3) In state transportation by airline for children is approved only if the cost of the air fare does not exceed all the actual costs of transportation by car.
