AN ACT relating to child welfare.

Summary

The bill orders the state cabinet to check within 60 days whether children in its custody qualify for earned federal benefits such as Social Security or VA survivor benefits, and to apply for them if eligible. It also sets rules for how the cabinet may hold those benefits, when they can be used, and how they are disbursed as children reach milestones toward independence. The goal is to preserve the children’s earned assets while supporting their transition to adulthood.
