Section 13756 - Reserving amount in lieu of reimbursing county and state for care and maintenance

The workgroup convened pursuant to Section 13752 shall also make recommendations, by December 31, 2006, regarding the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of reserving an amount, not to exceed the federal SSI resource limit, of foster children's social security and SSI/SSP benefits in lieu of reimbursing the county and the state for care and maintenance. In making its recommendations, the workgroup shall consider that the reserved benefits are for the purpose of assisting the child in his or her transition to self-sufficient living upon leaving foster care in a manner consistent with federal law.
