In Missouri, the monthly living expenses for a foster child can vary based on age and specific needs, but as of 2023, the state typically provides a monthly maintenance payment ranging from approximately $300 to $600 per child. These funds are intended to cover basic needs such as food, clothing, and personal care. Additional financial support may be available for children with special needs or in certain circumstances. It's important for foster parents to stay informed about state guidelines and available resources.
The money is to cover the expenses for the child but it's the foster parents that manage the money.
No, that is not an income or salary. That is like child support for the foster child and should cover the expenses for that child.
Yes of course they do. They have to have an income since you don't get paid to foster, you just get money to cover the child's expenses. You still need a job.
In Indiana, foster parents typically receive a monthly stipend that ranges from approximately $600 to $1,200 per child, depending on the child's age, needs, and the specific foster care agency. This payment is intended to help cover the costs of food, clothing, and other necessary expenses for the child. Additionally, foster parents may receive reimbursements for medical expenses and other related costs. It's important for potential foster parents to check with their specific agency for exact figures and details.
No it isn't
If there is no living spouse, the children are responsible. If the daughter is the only child, it is her responsibility. In return for raising children and the expenses associated with it, I would think the least a parent could expect is for their child to pay for their funeral.
You do not get paid for being a foster parent you get reimbursed for child's expenses and they also receive a medical card so there is no medical bills that the family incurs. Getting paid for being a foster parent is the give and take relationship you achieve with your child. In some states, foster parents are in fact paid a perdiem for each child. An average in Texas is $30 per day per child. This is meant to cover the child's expenses (other than medical) but it isn't reimbursed. It's paid to the foster family and they are expected to provide for the child.
You don't get paid. Its more like reimbursement for the child's expenses. Its usually about $400-$600 a month but that depends on the child disability needs.
Apparently it is in Missouri.
In Missouri, child support is determined using a formula based on the income of both parents, as outlined in the Missouri Child Support Guidelines. The calculation considers factors such as the number of children, each parent's gross income, and any additional expenses like healthcare and child care. The guidelines provide a presumptive amount, but adjustments may be made based on specific circumstances, such as significant medical expenses or the children's needs. Ultimately, the court has the final authority to set the support amount, considering the best interests of the child.
