Resumen con IA When a child in foster care receives disability benefits, the state currently uses that money to pay for the child's care. This new law would stop the state from using those specific funds for foster care costs. Instead, the money would be put into a savings account for the child to use once they reach a certain age.

Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
Under current law, a parent or guardian of a child receiving foster care services has primary responsibility for paying the costs of the foster care and services. When a child is placed in foster care, a person entitled to periodic support payments who also is or has a child receiving foster care services is deemed to have assigned to the department of human services, the current and accruing support payments attributable to the child.22 (child support —— social security disability dependent benefits), unless the court otherwise provides, dependent benefits paid to the child support obligee as a result of disability benefits awarded to the child support obligor fully satisfy and substitute for the support obligations for the same period of time for which the benefits are awarded and are included in the income of the disabled parent when calculating the support obligation. Under the bill, if the assigned support obligation includes these dependent benefits, that portion of the assigned amount shall not be used by the department to defray the costs of care and services to the child in foster care, but shall instead be deposited by the department in a savings account to be transferred to the child when the child attains years of age.
