Group Home Monthly Visit claiming
AB
118 (2011) Realignment included this program allocation in the block grant
to county CWD's. Costs are claimed first to Title IV-E administrative
costs (Category H - Foster Care Case Management) and the balance is now County
funds from the realignment block grant.
SB933
(1998) provided counties with the ability to claim costs associated with the
monthly visits to children in group homes. Prior to enactment of this legislation,
only two visits per year were required. Section 16516.5(b) states, "Not
withstanding section 10101, the state shall pay 100% of the non-federal costs
associated with the monthly visitation requirement in subdivision (a) in excess
of the minimum semi-annual visits required under current regulations."
Since this change created a mandate for counties, the costs for these additional
visits was funded 100% by the State. Counties are referred to CDSS Division
31 regulations regarding the substance and requirements for the visit.
