Minors in State Custody Amendments

Summary

The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to find any federal benefits a child in its custody may qualify for, apply for those benefits, and hold the money in a separate account. Up to 25% of the benefit can be spent on the child’s daily needs, while the remainder must be saved or invested. When the child leaves state custody, the account is transferred to the child or their guardian and financial‑literacy training is offered.
