WHAT IS THE ICAMA FORM DISTRIBUTION PROCESS?
Outgoing ICAMA requests: • The California sending agency sends to the new state of residence the original ICAMA form 6.01, a copy of the adoption assistance agreement and a cover letter. The cover letter summarizes the case; for example, the family has recently moved, or the child previously received Medicaid in their state under foster care. • The California sending agency sends to the CDSS, ICAMA Deputy Compact Administrator a copy of the sent ICAMA form 6.01 and the adoption assistance agreement. • The California sending agency sends to the parents ICAMA form 6.02, a copy of the ICAMA form 6.01 and the adoption assistance agreement. • The originating state (either California or the new state of residence) retains the original ICAMA form 6.03, and submits copies to the recipient state, to CDSS, ICAMA Deputy Compact Administrator and to the parents. Incoming ICAMA requests: The sending agency sends a copy of its ICAMA package (ICAMA forms and adoption assistance agreement) to the DHS
