How does CSA Work?

A Family Assessment and Planning Team meeting is scheduled to with the F.A.P.T. and members of the family:

• the child and family take an active part of the F.A.P.T. meeting to discuss their needs
• a service plan is developed
• the family signs the service plan if they agree with the plan
• the service plan goes to the Community Policy and Management Team for review and approval
• services begin as soon as possible after the approval of the Community Policy and Management Team
• if the family disagrees with the plan, they may ask for a review with the local CPMT
• emergency services may begin immediately
• parents may be required to make co-payments for non-foster care services
• parents may be required to make child support payments for foster care services
• parents are not required to make co-pay payments for special education services
