Step 1: Add Persons not already there


To place a child in a foster home, the child must be set up in the Person file.

Although you may be processing a new placement application, the child(ren) may already be receiving other services from the agency. If so, there will already be a Person record set up. Before you add a record for each person, you should check the Person file to see whether the child is already set up. Be sure to check each member of the case.

For instructions about adding a new Person, read the Persons section of the ONECase Procedure Guide.

If the child(ren) is not defined as a Person, add them using the “Work with Persons” program on menu 21.

Date of Birth must have full 8-digit year (eg, 12/21/2000).
