When must you issue a new or temporary verification certificate to a foster home?

• A. Change the home's verification, including the home's address or location; Extend the expiration date of the home's time-limited verification; or Change a foster home's verification from time-limited to non-expiring
• B. Change the home's color paint
• C. Change the number of children in care
• D. Change the licensing staff

Answer: (A)

Verification documents reflect a foster home's approved status and the details tied to that approval. You issue a new or temporary verification certificate whenever the information on the verification changes. This includes changes to the home's address or location, extending the expiration date of a time-limited verification, or changing from a time-limited verification to a non-expiring one. In these cases, issuing an updated certificate ensures the record matches the current status and any timeframes. Changes like repainting the house, altering the number of children in care, or switching licensing staff do not affect the verification details themselves, so they don’t automatically require a new verification certificate under this rule. They may require other updates in the licensing file, but not the certificate itself for the stated conditions.
