Allows direct deposit of adoption subsidy payments.

This bill (A 2576) requires New Jersey's Division of Child Protection and Permanency to allow adoptive parents receiving adoption subsidies to choose direct deposit into their bank account instead of paper checks. It directly affects adoptive parents who qualify for state-funded adoption subsidies under existing law. The key provision mandates that payments be made via direct deposit upon the adoptive parent's written request, replacing the current system of mailing paper checks. This change aims to streamline payments while maintaining eligibility criteria for children classified as "hard to place" for adoption.
