Dear Current and Prospective Foster Parents, Kinship Caregivers, and CPAs,
Starting July 1, 2023, First Aid and CPR training through the Alliance will no longer be available, so caregivers renewing their license and new applicants must pay for CPR and First Aid out-of-pocket and can submit for reimbursement once their license is issued.
What CPR and First Aid training is required?
-
WAC 110-148-1375 requires all caregivers over the age of 18 to complete the following to get licensed:
- First Aid
- Age-appropriate, adult or infant, CPR training that meets nationally recognized standards set by the American Heart Association
Find First Aid-CPR Training near you: American Red Cross, American Heart Association, check with your local fire station, or search online for CPR training that is certified by the American Heart Association.
How do caregivers request reimbursement?
- Keep a copy of your receipt from the training along with your certification card showing you’ve met the CPR and First Aid requirements.
- Once your license has been issued, contact your licensor for specific instructions and provide them with your CPR and First Aid training receipt.
- Your licensor will complete the reimbursement form on your behalf to ensure you receive your payment.
Remember, if you withdraw your application or your foster care application is denied, you will not be eligible for reimbursement.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition. If you have any questions, contact your licensor.
Ruben Reeves
Interim Assistant Secretary of Licensing
