Adoption Assistance Eligibility

The workflow for adoption assistance eligibility begins with the FCM creating a pre-adopt plan. 

• 1. From the Resources and Lists menu at the top of the screen, click Adoption Eligibility Application.

• 1. This link will take you to the Adoption Eligibility Applications Index. From there you can see which files have been assigned and to whom, the application type, and how many days the application has been in the queue. You can also sort the index by clicking on the column headings for child, assigned worker, and days in queue.

• 1. When you click on an Adoption Application (linked from the child's name), you will be taken to the main page of the application.

  2. At the top of the application, you will see a progress bar signalling the current state of the application. You will also be able to edit all information found in the 6 cards on the application by clicking “Edit” in the right hand corner of each card.

• 1. At the bottom of the application there is an Eligibility and Subsidy Information card that only CEU workers can access. As a CEU worker, you will update this card if the child is eligible for different types of adoption assistance.

• 1. Clicking Edit will bring you to a blue edit screen on which you can enter information about the adoption subsidy and enter the assigned CEU worker. Once all information has been entered, you can click Save & Close to return to the case page or Save & View to return to the pre-adopt plan overview page. Clicking save will open a popup box notifying you that the application will be sent back to the FCM.
