SCD 441, Additional Clarifications/Requirements
SCD 441 Incomplete
If a “School Enrollment Verification” (SCD 441) is returned and is incomplete, the EW may do any of the following to obtain the missing information:
- Mail the incomplete SCD 441 to the school with a cover letter which explains what information is needed.
- Verify by collateral contact with the school the information required and document the information obtained in a CalSAWS journal.
- Return the incomplete SCD 441 to the foster parent/guardian requesting them to obtain the necessary verification.
In emergency situations and/or at intake, the SCD 441 may be faxed. Regardless, if the SCD 441 is returned without pertinent information and/or the school stamp, the EW must verify the information with the school or ask the SW/PO or legal guardian to obtain it.
Note: If the verification is not obtainable, request assistance from the SW/PO.
SCD 441 Not Returned, Child Not Attending, or, Child Not Expected to Graduate Before Age 19
If the SCD 441 is not returned, or, it indicates that the child is not attending school or is not expected to graduate before age 19, the EW must contact the SW/PO. Complete the “School Enrollment Notification” (SCD 3), to notify the SW/PO that the child may have a problem related to school attendance which would result in termination of Foster Care payments the day before the child turns age 18.
School Won’t Cooperate
If the school will not cooperate by completing the form/providing information, contact the Foster Care Program Coordinator.
