Procedure
Procedure
The billing specialist issues an initial clothing allowance to a child for whom DCBS is legally responsible and who is being placed in out of home care, not to exceed the following amount:
Child's Age
Amount
Birth to 1 year of age
$100.00
1 to 2 years of age
$120.00
3 to 4 years of age
$130.00
5 to 11 years of age
$180.00
12 + years of age
$290.00
If a child specific foster home received the relative support benefit at the time of the child's placement, they will not receive a clothing voucher at the time of foster home approval.
Upon request of the child's SSW, the billing specialist issues the balance of the child's unspent initial clothing allowance by authorizing a special payment to the child's placement provider.
The FSOS approves an annual supplemental school clothing allowance (see table below) to a child age three (3) or above, who:
Has been in care more than thirty (30) days;
Has used the amount allotted for clothing allowance;
Is enrolled in school; and
Is placed in a DCBS foster home.
Supplemental School Clothing Allowance
Child Ages 3-10
$50
Child Ages 11+
$100
The R&C worker reviews the foster home parent's clothing record quarterly.
