Fiscal Academy Webinar

What’s New: A Sneak Peek at Fiscal Academy Courses
RCFFP is excited to share our latest course offerings and resources to Fiscal Academy! Our new courses cover foster care eligibility funding and various other funding streams critical to the claiming process.
We are also excited to announce and share that we have created three (3) comprehensive practice and policy guides pertaining to Foster Care Eligibility, developed in partnership with and approved by CDSS. We are hopeful that these guides will support county foster care eligibility staff to enhance their knowledge about AFDC-FC, Kin-GAP programs, Juvenile Court, and support the county’s goal to improve their overall accuracy in foster care eligibility determinations, ensuring appropriate funds are drawn for youth in foster care.
Join us for this upcoming webinar where we will provide a high-level overview of these courses and what you can expect to gain from them.
