Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 660-5-22-.02 - Eligibility For Title XX Services

After a child is placed for adoption by the Department or when a notice is received by the County Department that a petition has been filed to adopt a child (not an agency placement), the worker must complete and sign an Application for Services on behalf of the child, using the name given the child by the adoptive parents. The child will be considered a "separate family" for the purpose of the Title XX application. Only the child's own income will be considered in determining if the child meets the income limitations for Title XX services. If the child's own income exceeds the Title XX Income Scale for a one-person household, the child is not eligible for Title XX Adoption Services and must receive these services under the Child Welfare Service (CWS) category of eligibility. A child who is a recipient of AFDC, SSI or SUP will be eligible for Title XX Services as a current recipient.
