Section 388-27-0220. What factors affect the amount of adoption support benefits a child receives?
Latest version.
The department bases the amount of support it provides on the child's needs and the family's circumstances, but limits the cash payment to an amount that does not exceed the foster care maintenance rate the child would receive if the child was in a foster family home. Specific circumstances as agreed to by the adoptive parent and the department in the agreement, may warrant future renegotiation and adjustment of the payment determined in an assessment of the child.
