PI 20-02

 

 

The NA and NR match symbols are limited to the ten counties of financial responsibility as noted in Policy Manual Chapter 447-10. These match symbols apply to any Native American foster child whose parent(s) lived on the reservation at the time the child entered foster care.

 

The "NR" code should only be used in cases when:

1. There is a secondary placement of an "NA" Federal Matching Indian case, or
2. DJS has custody of Native American foster child whose parents live on the reservation at the time and the child is not IV-E eligible.

 

A child under tribal custody who is coded Native American Federal Match “NA” will lose Title IV-E eligibility when s/he turns 18 years of age and will not graduate prior to age 19. The case must be closed as of the last day of the month in which s/he turns 18. At this point, the tribe becomes financially responsible for the case.

 

If a Title IV-E tribal youth ages out of North Dakota foster care, he/she is eligible to remain in or return to 18+ Continued Foster Care.
