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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is it possible to be placed under legal custody of a teacher?
Yes, if that teacher qualifies to be assigned as a foster parent (licensed by the state) or is awarded guardianship some way.
Can a foster parent move to a new state with their foster child?
Foster children are generally placed through the state they reside in. Foster parents are certified through the state. So, no, unless there is a court ruling allowing the move, it is not legal to move to another state with a 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.

What happens to the child when the parent who has custody goes to jail?
When a parent with custody goes to jail, child custody arrangements can vary depending on the situation. The child may go to live with the other parent, a relative, a foster family, or be placed in the care of child protective services. The court will typically make a decision based on the best interests of the child.
Does a parent who abanded their son still have parental rights?
No. If somebody abandoned their child, the child would then be taken usually into DHS's custody and usually placed in a foster home. When the child is older parents can try to contact the child.
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.
