Contractor To Stop Managing Child Care
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A state contractor that manages child
welfare cases in eastern and southeast Nebraska is relinquishing
its duties because of a financial dispute.
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services announced
Tuesday that the state and KVC Nebraska have agreed to end the
contracted services, effective March 1.
Department CEO Kerry Winterer says the state is prepared to
assume case management duties in the affected areas. But he says
another lead contractor, Nebraska Families Collaborative, may
assume some of the duties.
Winterer said the split between KVC and the state stemmed from a
disagreement over additional money KVC had requested to continue
providing services.
Interim child services director Scot Adams says Nebraska will
continue to contract with KVC as a foster care provider.
