If the branch closure is not related to a corrective or adverse action, what may you do with the foster homes?

• A. You may transfer the foster homes to the main office or another branch office without updating the foster home screening
• B. Close all foster homes immediately
• C. Revoke all licenses for foster homes
• D. Maintain supervision at the closed branch

Answer: (A)

When a branch closes for reasons other than corrective or adverse action, you can move the foster homes to the main office or another branch without redoing the foster home screening. This is because the closure is administrative and does not change the foster home’s licensure status or trigger a new round of screenings. The foster homes remain under the agency’s oversight, just under a different location, so service continuity is preserved without unnecessary administrative steps. Shutting down all foster homes or revoking licenses would imply corrective action, and keeping supervision at the closed branch isn’t feasible once it’s closed.
