D. Monitoring of the SSCC by DFPS

Rather than serve in its traditional role in CBC areas, DFPS provides quality oversight and assurance to ensure contract compliance, conduct assessments of fiscal and qualitative performance of the SSCC and vendors, as well as create and administer a dispute resolution process. DFPS must also monitor the transfer of case management services, and has the statutory authority to review, approve, or disapprove a contractor's recommendation with respect to a child's permanency goal.
