Grants child placed in resource family care and resource family parents the right to be notified when case manager or supervisor is assigned to child; grants child in resource family care right to be notified of certain property and benefits.
This bill, A3506, requires New Jersey's child welfare system to notify children in resource family care (foster care with a foster family) and their foster parents when a case manager or supervisor is assigned or reassigned to the child. It also mandates that the Department of Children and Families promptly inform children about property or benefits they own (such as Social Security) at the time of placement. Additionally, the department must notify children of its intent to apply for federal benefits on their behalf and allow them to review the application before submission. These changes ensure transparency and direct involvement for children in foster care regarding their case management and financial entitlements.
