Current through Register Vol. 18, September 20, 2024
(1) A department representative will evaluate the family's needs and the aid necessary to help the child and family. It will be based on the family situation, including income and expenses. The current federal income tax statement will be examined. The need for a subsidy must be based on the needs of the family that are attributable to the placement of the child. Subsidy may be made for a limited time or over a long term depending on whether the family's income is limited and the possibilities that it may remain limited. The monthly payment will continue until the child is 18 years of age.
(2) Medical costs do not include those which can be or are covered beyond completion of the adoption. It may continue until such time as the physician discharges a child from care of a medical problem.
(3) Special purpose assistance may be allowed in the event a child requires a special service, but such assistance may not exceed the cost of a similar service provided by the department for children who are legal wards of the department.
