What are DCYF's responsibilities to a youth who is participating in EFC?

DCYF is required to have placement and care authority over the youth and provide foster care services, including transition planning and independent living services, medical assistance through medicaid, and case management. Case management includes findings or approving a foster care placement for the youth, convening family meetings, developing, revising, and monitoring implementation of any case plan or court report, coordinating and monitoring services needed by the youth, caseworker visits, and court-related duties, including preparing court reports, attending judicial and permanency hearings, and ensuring that the youth is progressing toward independence within state and federal mandates. DCYF has responsibility to inform the court of the status of the child (including health, safety, welfare, education status, and continuing eligibility for extended foster care program). DCYF's placement and care authority over a youth receiving EFC services is solely for the purpose of providing services and does not create a legal responsibility for the actions of the youth receiving EFC services.
