The Office of Contract Administration may be reached at 609-888-7334. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PROVIDERS Please be advised that the Department has revised the substance and format of its Required Contract Documents Checklist (contained in the revised Annex A). Although the corresponding policies are still under revision, the new Checklist is available now and should be used for all July 2010 contract renewals. DCF has been working through DCBHS and the DYFS Child Health Program to strengthen our policy affecting youth who receive psychotropic medication. Please note: DCF is currently working on implementation and planning issues around authorized prescribers of psychotropic medications (please refer to policy) for youth in out of home care. At this time, DCF has not implemented this aspect of the policy. We will work closely with providers and our DCF Psychotropic Advisory Committee as we move forward with implementation steps. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact the DCF Office of Child Health Services at: dcfochs@dcf.state.nj.us On January 13, 2008, P.L.2007, c.304 was signed into law. It clarifies that nonprofits that contract with government entities are no longer required to file the Business Entity Annual Statement with the Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC). Nonprofits are also no longer required to file similar disclosure documents with a government-contracting agency prior to the award of a contract. |
