AN ACT INCREASING THE PER-CHILD FOSTER CARE MAINTENANCE PAYMENT RATE.
HB 6179 increases the monthly foster care payment rate for each child in foster care to $1,100 per child. This directly affects foster parents and caregivers who receive these payments to support children placed in their care. The bill amends Title 17a of the general statutes to establish this new rate, replacing the previous amount. The change aims to provide higher financial support for foster families caring for children in state custody.
