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 New Jersey bill (S 1600) adds specific notification rights for children in resource family care (foster care) and their foster parents. It requires child welfare agencies to promptly inform children and resource family parents when a case manager or supervisor is assigned or reassigned to the child's case. The bill also mandates that children be notified about property or benefits they own (such as Social Security) upon placement outside their home, including details about applications filed on their behalf. These provisions amend existing law (P.L.1991, c.290) to strengthen transparency in case management and financial oversight for children in care.
