Langevin Bill to Change Foster Care Financing

Langevin Bill to Change Foster Care Financing | The Chronicle of Social Change:

Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) introduced a bill late last week that would implement a number of the major foster care financing reforms proposed by two influential foundations last year.Chief among them: making all foster youth eligible for federal funding under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, but limiting federal funds to three years of foster care for each youth.
My Comment: Title IV Federal funding has not been used in the manner it was supposed to be used for many, many years. If the Federal Govt. audited all CPS/DCYF agencies Nationwide and kept auditing them, they would be in for a big surprise. Sooner or later the fraud would be uncovered. Federal mandates that are already in place are not followed. In order for the State to collect federal funding for each child placed in Foster care, the parent must be eligible for TANF, signing up for TANF, or already on TANF. In N.H. DCYF worker’s fill out Title IV funding applications for Mother’s who are not on TANF, not eligible and not signing up for TANF. When the parent refuses to sign on the dotted line, knowing that none of these scenario’s pertain to her situation, the DCYF worker signs it herself. Note to the Federal Govt.: Audit every one of them and save the taxpayer’s some money!
