    • (A) has achieved most of their risk-related goals; or
    • (B) is required to participate in other ongoing services as part of a Child Welfare treatment and service plan or court order; and

INSTRUCTIONS TO STAFF 340:75-1-152.6

 

1.  Maintenance service level requests in active Child Welfare (CW) cases.  Required monthly staffings include discussion regarding the family's progress, need for any changes to current service levels, and future planning.  

  • (1) When a family makes sufficient progress in reducing risk, a step-down in service intensity to maintenance level may be appropriate.  Reduced visits both acknowledge the family's achievements and allow time for the completion of any remaining tasks before supportive services are terminated.
  • (2) If the CW worker concurs, an effective date is determined, and notice is given by the contract case manager (CCM) to the family, verbally or in writing, prior to the date maintenance services take effect.
