The standard family foster care maintenance rate includes the cost of (and the cost of providing) food, clothing, shelter, daily supervision, school supplies, a child’s personal incidentals, and liability insurance with respect to a child.

 

The family foster care rates are reviewed and revised annually, based on legislative action. The family foster care maintenance rate is computed by month and includes an amount for clothing and incidentals. The rate effective July 1, 2015, is as follows:

AGE	BASIC RATE	CLOTHING AND  INCIDENTALS	COMPUTED  MONTHLY
0 - 4 Years	$720.32	$55.00	$775.32
5 - 12 Years	$823.79	$65.00	$888.79
13+	$900.06	$75.00	$975.06

 

Payments are made using the daily rate times the number of days in care.

AGE	COMPUTED MONTHLY	PAID DAILY
0 - 4 Years	$775.32	$25.49
5- 12 Years	$888.79	$29.22
13+	$975.06	$32.06

 

To the above rates the county social service board may, on the basis of individualized need, add the cost of irregular items allowed in foster care maintenance.
