Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Department of Family and Protective Services to remove eligibility requirements and offer monetary assistance and post-permanency payments to each relative or other designated caregiver.
Methodology
Based on historical data, approximately 66.5 percent of Unverified Kinship Placements met current financial eligibility requirements. Therefore this analysis assumes 33.5 percent, or approximately 2,256 individuals, would become newly eligible for payments in fiscal year 2024. Since eligibility is limited to 12 months barring extensions, each ongoing fiscal year would include daily payments for an additional 1,945 individuals. This analysis assumes the rate of these payments to be $13.53. These individuals would also become eligible to receive post-permanency annual payments if they achieved permanency within these placements. Based on the current ratio of daily payments to post-permanency, this analysis assumes the total number of post-permanency payments would increase by 420 payments per fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2025.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
