When a Title IV-E eligible foster child receives SSI, s/he is Title IV-E non-reimbursable due to the receipt of SSI.

 

Example: Mom with 2 children, one child receives SSI.  Mom and other child are in receipt of TANF benefits. Child with SSI is placed in foster care and because the SSI is more than the cost of care, the county continues to receive the SSI payment. In this example, the foster child is Title IV-E eligible, however not reimbursable due to the continued receipt of the SSI and the proper match code in this example would be "FN."

 

To be Title IV-E eligible the removal home must, during the removal month, meet the AFDC means, deprivation, the IV-E legal status, and the judicial language tests. If the child is not IV-E eligible then the case is regular match "RM."
