Summary
The bill makes every child entering Colorado’s foster system eligible for screening for Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and survivor benefits. County child‑welfare departments must apply for those benefits, act as payees when appropriate, and provide yearly accounting and notices to the youth and their representatives. The goal is to ensure that foster youth receive any federal benefits they qualify for and that the money is used transparently for their benefit.
