Question: What is the Process for Creating New Cases for PPLA children?
Question: What is the process / requirement for creating new cases for youth with a legal status of Planned Permanent Living Arrangement?
Answer: In Ohio SACWIS, there are no requirements for placing a child in her/her own case (as in an adoption case creation) for children with an Agency legal status of PPLA.
Per Policy: If the child's Agency legal status is Permanent Custody, but the goal is PPLA, this child is still required to be in an adoption case due to the agency being required to find an adoptive home. So, if the child's true Agency legal status is PPLA, it is then an agency decision, on a case by case basis, whether or not keep the child in their biological case, or to place them in their own ongoing case to provide services for PPLA-Independent living.
The functionality to complete this task does exist in Ohio SACWIS. The desired child would be end-dated (made inactivate) in the biological case; then a FINS intake would need to be created to open a new case for the desired child.
