15-OCFS-ADM-01 - Definition of Siblings and Expansion of the Relative Notification Requirements
The purpose of this Administrative Directive (ADM) is to address implementation of provisions of the recently enacted federal Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act (P.L.113-183) regarding the appropriate notification of relatives when a child is removed from his or her home. The policy also addresses an associated clarification of the definition of a sibling. Implementation of these provisions is necessary for New York State to continue to maintain a compliant federal Title IV-E State Plan, which is a condition for New York State and Local Departments of Social Services (LDSSs) to receive federal funding for foster care, adoption assistance and the Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program (KinGAP).
