What is the purpose of a provisional verification?

• A. To allow continued care when transferring from one CPA to another
• B. To authorize new placements during transfer
• C. To suspend verification during the transfer
• D. To change the home address during transfer

Answer: (A)

Provisional verification is a temporary, conditional status that keeps the agency able to provide care for children while licensing responsibilities are being transferred from one CPA to another. It ensures there’s no gap in care and allows the receiving agency to step in and oversee ongoing placements during the transition, until full verification is granted. It’s not about authorizing new placements, suspending verification, or changing the home address—those are separate actions.
