Relating to: the state or federal benefits of a child in out-of-home care. (FE)

Summary

The bill tells state and county departments that act as payees for children in foster or other out‑of‑home placements to keep the children’s state or federal benefits in protected accounts, not use them for care costs, and report how the money is used. It also requires the agencies to return any leftover funds to the child or a designated fiduciary when the child leaves care. This aims to preserve the child’s benefits for their future needs.
