7-007.08 Payment Termination

479 NAC 7-007.08

The Department will no longer provide payment if:

1. Reasonable progress is not occurring and it is determined that treatment at that facility is no longer appropriate;

2. Treatment is no longer needed;

3. The plan is not to return the child to the guardian's home;

4. The guardian is no longer involved with the child or participating in treatment; or

5. Reports providing the information in 479 NAC 7-007.07 are not provided to the Department.

The worker must send written notice of payment termination to the guardian giving the date on which payment will cease; a minimum of 30 days notice is required. (A copy must be sent to the foster care specialist.)

Note: If the guardian has ceased his/her involvement with the child, the worker must consider whether a child protective services referral is appropriate.
