Section 67:42:13:03 - Case plan requirements

The placement agency shall develop a written case plan for each adolescent within 14 days of placing the adolescent into the independent living preparation program. When preparing the case plan, the placement agency shall involve the adolescent in care, the ILPP, and the parent or guardian. The case plan must contain at least the following information:

(1) A delineation of the respective roles and responsibilities of the ILPP, the adolescent, and other involved parties;

(2) The goals and services to be provided or arranged by the ILPP, including a plan for supervisory contact between the adolescent and the licensed child welfare agency staff;

(3) The financial support needed and how it will be provided to cover the adolescent's basic medical, educational, shelter, nutritional, clothing, and recreational needs. The financial support may be provided directly by the ILPP; the placement agency; a parent, guardian, or custodian; the adolescent, through earnings from employment, financial aid, scholarships, grants, loans, or work-study; or any combination of these financial sources; and

(4) The projected length of stay and conditions under which the adolescent may be discharged.

Each individual involved in developing the case plan shall sign the plan. The ILPP shall review and evaluate the adolescent's case plan at least once every three months. The updated plan must include the progress made toward achieving the goals established in the previous plan and any amendments made to the plan. The ILPP shall submit to the placement agency at three-month intervals a report on the adolescent's progress. The case plan and progress reports must be maintained as part of the adolescent's record.
