This reimbursement is only available to family foster care parents, either related or non-related. Example: A child enters care in October 2009, during SFY 11 (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011); the child is eligible for annual clothing. Examples of Clothing Allowances for all Programs:
A child cannot receive initial clothing and annual clothing in the same calendar year that he/she enters care.
Sibling Incentive
3 Siblings in your home $100 per child - $300 4 Siblings in your home $100 per child - $400 5 Siblings in your home $100 per child - $500 This amount is not pro-rated and you will only receive it if the children are in your home from the 1st - the 30th/31st of each month.
How does the Initial Clothing allowance and the seasonal allowance work? Answer: Children are eligible for the initial clothing allowance for the first 6 months they are in care. Children become eligible for the replacement allowance clothing after they have been in care for a full 3 months. For the first 6 months, I apply all clothing purchases to initial clothing as long as the child has money left. After that, I start applying the purchases to the replacement allowance.
