Placing an Ohio Youth in Out-of-State Residential Treatment
The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) governs how children and youth move across state lines for foster care, adoption, and residential treatment.
If an Ohio youth—whether in the custody of a Children’s Services agency or their parent/guardian—is being placed in a treatment facility in another state, approval must be requested from the receiving state before placement.
For youth in the custody of a parent or guardian, ICPC requests should be sent to:
Required Documents for the Receiving State:
When submitting a request, include the following:
-
Form 100A – ICPC Placement Request (DCY1661) - signed by the parent/guardian
-
Acceptance Letter from the out-of-state facility
-
Signed statement from the parent/guardian confirming:
-
They are responsible for any costs not covered by insurance or Medicaid
- They agree to return the youth to Ohio after treatment ends or if the placement is disrupted
-
Additional Requirements and Processing Time
Some receiving states may ask for extra documents, such as a birth certificate or a social services summary. Once your request is submitted, processing times can vary, so it’s important to plan ahead and allow enough time for the paperwork to be reviewed and approved. The completed request should ideally be submitted 7-14 days prior to the anticipated placement date.
After Placement:
Once the youth is placed, and again at discharge, submit:
-
Form 100B – ICPC Report on Child’s Placement Status
Forms and instructions for completing the 100A and 100B for private residential treatment placements are attached to this article, along with a sample of the responsibility document.
