You would submit a completed and signed Caregiver Monthly Mileage form for allowable mileage reimbursement. Click on the link for quick access to the form. You can also request a paper copy from the assigned worker. The form is also included in the Caregiver Placement Packet you received when the child was placed with you.
Most purchases made by caregivers for a foster child (camps, sports, sports equipment, etc.) require prior approval from the assigned case worker. Exceptions can be made for emergencies such as a child’s placement on a Friday night when the child comes with little or no clothing and no clothing voucher. Clothing vouchers per the clothing voucher policy are only authorized for up to $200 per child. If you purchase something on an emergency basis, provide the original receipts and any other documentation showing your cost and payments to the child’s case worker for reimbursement. Also remember to keep copies of your receipts and your monthly mileage forms.
