(1) The foster parent must make a written request for department review of the assessment.

(b) The department has the discretion and may grant a twenty-day extension for good cause.

(3) The request must include a statement explaining why the foster parent believes the assessed rate is incorrect. The foster parent may provide additional information that he or she believes is relevant to the questions asked on the foster care rate assessment standardized form.

(4) The request must be sent to the individual and address identified in the letter informing the foster parent of the rate assessed for the child.
