Attention Foster/Adoptive and Kinship Parents:
This is important information about your DCF Debit MasterCard. If you receive the board and clothing payment for the child(ren) in your care on a debit card, we want you to know that the debit cards expire after three years and new cards will be issued and mailed to the address on file. Should you have moved and not updated your address with DCF, it is critical that you do so as to not interrupt your monthly payments. We have been notified that a significant number of debit cards are due to expire the end of June. The expiration date is indicated on your debit card.
Therefore, we strongly encourage you to check your cards in order to determine when they expire and again, please be sure to reach out to us at DCF to update your address if you have moved.
Foster and Kinship Parents – contact your child’s caseworker in the DCP&P Local Office.
Adoptive and Kinship Parents receiving an Adoption or Kinship Subsidy – contact Adoption Operations at 609-888-7460.
