What kind of written evidence is required for verification of a foster childs application?
A. School officials should contact the household in which the foster child resides and ask for the name, agency, and phone number of the social worker assigned to that child. A phone call to the social worker confirming the child’s status as a foster child and the amount of money designated by the agency for the child’s personal use is sufficient verification. The school official should, however, document the phone conversation with the social worker (identifying the social worker, agency, phone number, status of the child, and the child’s personal-use income.) Another approach would be to ask the foster family for a copy of a written communication between the foster family and the placement agency in which the status of the child and the financial arrangement is stated. If the family is unable to provide such information, a phone call to the placement agency to confirm the child’s status and income should be made prior to denying the child free meals.
