Veteran Benefit Payments to Minor Clients

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to receive, deposit, and safeguard survivor benefit payments from the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs for minors placed in out‑of‑home care. All accumulated funds must be paid in full to the child when they turn 18, and DCF may not use the money to reimburse the state for the cost of care. The measure aims to protect veterans’ benefits for children in the foster system.
