Sure, no problem, by the way, didn't someone say that you live in
Nebraska?
Here is what is says about Nebraska foster care payments (just so's
we can set Greg's mind at ease):
NEBRASKA
FOSTER CARE RATES UPDATED DECEMBER 2005
Rates of Payment
Payments for foster family care are based on the age and special needs
of the child. Foster care rates start at $222 per month for young
children with few or no special needs. Higher payments are made for
children with more severe physical, behavioral, or emotional needs.
This monthly payment is to assist with costs of board and room care
and supervision, clothing, allowance, trans****tation, regular respite
care, and other usual costs of maintaining a child.
Additional Expenses: Child care may be paid for during the hours that
both Foster Parents work in a two-parent home and during the work
hours of a single parent.
Emergency Shelter Payment: This payment is made for a licensed home
that has signed an Emergency Shelter Care (ESC) contract and cares for
a child 30 days or less.
Clothing Expenses: The child=92s clothing allowance is included in the
monthly foster care payment and should maintain the child=92s wardrobe
at a reasonable standard. When a child first enters the foster care
system, an initial clothing allowance is available. In cases of
extreme need at a later time, an additional clothing payment may be
possible.
Wow, you guys have it even worse than Missouri. You don't get a
yearly clothing allowance, and the $222 is intended to pay for every
need that the child has other than child care during working hours!
That's a paltry amount of money to care for a child, and think about
it, if the child is an infant and arrives with no bottles, blankets,
clothes, formula, diapers, etc, then you have to immediately go out
and get those things right off the bat. If they're teens? Sheesh,
that wouldn't pay for my teens clothes, shoes, athletic equipment,
cost of activities, etc, I mean, wow.
Anywho, I hope this settles Greg's years long question (repetitive
question) once and for all.
Good day...
