Foster children receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits trust establishment and appropriation
This bill establishes a trust to hold Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for foster children in Minnesota, ensuring these funds are used exclusively for the child's care. Child welfare agencies must send all SSI benefits they receive for foster children to a state trust account within 90 days, keeping these funds separate from general agency budgets. The trust requires agencies to report annually on how these funds are managed, and children aged 18+ must be notified about accessing their trust benefits. This directly affects foster children receiving SSI and the agencies responsible for their care.
