No, there's often some lag between when you get the children get placed with you and when you start getting a stipend/board rate. In some cases, the lag can be several weeks. As far as I'm aware though, they should back pay it.
During my adoption/foster classes we talked about the need to be financially prepared to deal with having a child in the house for the short term.

Who is more likely to receive custody if one parent has a history of drug abuse that has been tackled and the other has a history of domestic abuse on the spouse and is currently still a problem?
Neither, the child in question would be placed in a foster home until either parent proves to be capable of raising a child.
Can a foster parent move to a new state with their foster child?

Can I take my son from the foster parents if they have power of attorney and the back of his head is flat?
No. You do not have the right to take the child if he has been placed in foster care. A child who is in foster care is a ward of the state. That child is under the legal custody of the Department of Child Services by virtue of a court order. The department has placed the child with a certified foster parent. A foster parent partners with that department to provide stability, food, clothing, housing and nurturing to a child who can no longer live with his/her birth parents. The foster parent interacts with the child's school and sees to medical needs. There is always the hope that the child will be reunited with their parents some time in the future. During the foster care period the parents rights are suspended although they may have visitation rights. If you have questions or concerns about your child's health or physical condition you should speak with the social worker in charge of your case.

the noncustodial parent, or sometimes if there are other issues involved, you may be able to assign temporary custody to another relative. In either case, you should consult a family law attorney to avoid the kids being placed in foster care.
Where are children housed before being placed in foster parent homes?
Other foster homes or group homes. When a child is taken into custody, they remain with the worker until a home can be located; sometimes this takes a while and the child will remain with the worker at the office until late at night. Depending on the situation, the child may remain in the hospital until a foster/group home is located.

Does a teenage mother have custody of her child if she lives in a foster home?
It depends on the circumstances, and certainly whether the foster parents choose to put up with the situation. Just like other parents, an additional member of the family may create pressure on finances and room in the house. As a teenage mom, that is a lot to ask.AnswerGenerally, no. Generally, the state has custody of the infant of a child who is in foster care. State laws vary but there are some considerations that must be addressed when a child who is in foster care has a child. If the parent plans to keep the child, they need to be given the opportunity to bond and for the teen parent to learn parenting skills. The teen in foster care will have a state appointed lawyer. It is up to that lawyer to advocate for the parent and child to be placed together, if that is appropriate, although teen-child placements are hard to find. In some cases, the infant can be placed with another family member (mother, grandmother) as legal guardian.For any particular area you need to consult with an attorney who is familiar with the laws in that jurisdiction.
