Forms and Resources for Child Foster Care

How to receive reimbursement

At the end of each month you will submit your online Foster Care Monthly Billing, which will be processed by the Washington County Accounting Department. For questions, please email our foster care payments staff. 

Enrolling in direct deposit

You may enroll to receive your reimbursement through direct deposit instead of a mailed check. Fill out the ACH Authorization Form (PDF) which gives you directions on how to submit the request.

Reporting a serious event

It is Washington County policy that all incidents be formally reported in written format to your foster care licensor within 7 days of the event taking place. Common incident reports include:

• Illness requiring a visit to urgent care/emergency room
• Physical injury leaving a bruise, cut, or other mark
• Behavior that becomes inappropriate or beyond control
• Mental health crises requiring a response
• Neighborhood problems with other people
• A child runs away or is lost

This list is not exhaustive and other events may warrant an incident report. If you are unsure of whether to report, consult your licensor. Please use our Child Foster Care Incident Report-71980-62 (PDF).

Your licensor will mail you copies of all needed documents. You may request electronic copies at that time.
