OCFS-2400. Detention Cost Report Instructions

Form OCFS-2400, Detention Cost Report, is a form used by New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to document the costs associated with detaining a child in a secure facility. The form consists of several sections, including the facility name and address, the date of admission and discharge, the date of the cost report, the total number of days a child was detained, and the estimated total cost of detention.

The most important fields on the form to consider when filling it out are the facility name and address, the date of admission and discharge, the date of the cost report, the total number of days a child was detained, and the estimated total cost of detention. Additionally, any documents associated with the detention, such as court orders and agreements, must be included with the form when it is submitted.

An example scenario in which this form would be used is when a child is detained in a secure facility for a period of time. The facility will submit the OCFS-2400 form to the OCFS, detailing the total cost of the detention and the estimated cost of housing the child in the secure facility. The purpose of using the form is to ensure the facility is properly compensated for the costs associated with the detention.

The form may require additional documents to be included when submitting it. These documents may include court orders and agreements related to the detention, as well as other documents that may be necessary for the completion of the form. There may also be other forms related to the detention, such as the OCFS-2400-A, which is used to document the actual cost of the detention.
