Public comment is now being accepted on a draft policy that would prescribe consequences for findings of noncompliance by local Children’s Services Act (CSA) programs. The draft policy, which is available on the website of the Office of Children’s Services (OCS), sets out three levels of noncompliance in audit findings and proposes OCS responses for each level, ranging from corrective action plans to recovery of state pool fund reimbursements.
Public comment may be submitted through the CSA website (www.csa.virginia.gov) under the “Public Comments” tab on the left side of the homepage. Comments may also be submitted to OCS Assistant Director Janet Van Cuyk via email at janet.vancuyk@csa.virginia.gov or via U.S. mail (please address to Janet P. Van Cuyk, Office of Children’s Services, 1604 Santa Rosa Road, Suite 137, Richmond, VA 23229).
The public comment period will be open from June 19 through August 20.
If counties submit comments on the proposed policy, VACo would appreciate receiving a copy, which may be sent to Katie Boyle (kboyle@vaco.org).
