Regulation Authority:
42-35; 42-72-5
Purpose and Reason:
This rule has been amended in compliance with State Plan requirements under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act as amended by federal law. This revised rule expands on provisions of the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act (Public Law 110-351) by defining “applicable child criteria” for adoption subsidy eligibility. Additionally, in compliance with the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PL 104-193), the rule provides that children must meet the definition of "qualified alien" to be eligible for adoption assistance, provided that children receiving adoption assistance pursuant to agreements signed before August 22, 1996 may continue to receive such assistance. The previous version of this policy, filed 10/27/2009, is superseded by this amended version. The final rule does not contain any changes to the proposed rule except editing changes.
