Public social services: foster care benefits.

Summary

AB 680 would obligate California counties to determine a foster child's benefit amount within 30 days of a juvenile court order and to review eligibility and payment amounts each year and whenever new information suggests a change. The bill also requires counties to give caregivers written notice when benefits shift to a different program or end, and it defines which programs count as foster care benefits. The goal is to keep benefit payments timely and continuous for children in foster care.
