A. Effective February 1, 1989 foster children are to be considered "boarders" and must be certified under the provisions governing boarder status in Section C-140 and E-210 of the FAM-4. The provision under E-211.1 which prohibits granting boarder status to children under 18 years of age who are under the parental control of an adult household member does not apply with regard to foster children. In addition, the foster care payments must be excluded from consideration as income to the household providing the foster care.
B. However, foster care households continue to have the option to treat the foster children as members of the household in accordance with current boarder policy. The entire foster care payments would then count as income to the household.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with 7 CFR 273.1.
