Who is financially responsible for the child during cross-state placements according to the ICPC?

The receiving state
The sending state
The child's legal guardian
The federal government

The correct answer is: The sending state

The correct answer reflects the provision of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), which specifically states that the sending state retains financial responsibility for a child placed in another state. This is established to ensure that the child's needs are met consistently without shifting the financial burden to the receiving state. The rationale behind this provision is to create a clear framework regarding financial accountability during the child's placement in a different state. It helps prevent complications that could arise from having multiple states responsible for the same child’s expenses, ensuring that the financial and care responsibilities remain with the state that initiated the placement. This ensures that the sending state continues to provide the necessary funding and services that the child requires, in a way that allows for a stable transition while safeguarding the child's welfare during the placement process.
