FY26 RCC — Gap-Audit Triage Work-List

Companion to FY26-RCC-Requirements-Hyperlink-Index.md. Each of the 168 embedded FY26 RCC hyperlinks is triaged into one of three buckets and mapped to its Refuge House policy — converting the full DFPS/SSCC gap audit from an open-ended undertaking into a ranked backlog. For the SSCC Joint Monitoring audit this is reference only; the candidate-gap bucket is the post-audit project. Built Jun 16 2026.

Summary

Bucket Count Meaning
✅ Covered 87 Already addressed by a current policy — confirm only
📎 Reference-only 75 Portal/gateway/mailbox or GRO (Ch.748) rule N/A to a CPA — no work
🔍 Candidate gap 6 Verify or mine into a policy (the real backlog)

Triage heuristics: Ch.748 = GRO rules (Refuge House is a CPA → Ch.749 governs); 40 TAC 700 = DFPS-internal casework; portals/mailboxes = access points. The candidate-gap bucket is the only review surface; the likeliest genuine additions are a Child-Travel policy, Extended Foster Care, and Trial Independence & Return (post-audit).
