Foster Care Candidate Revenue Maximization Schemes Line County Coffers

Some years ago, in a published article, I explained that: “Significantly, a child who has been identified as a potential ‘candidate’ for placement into foster care may trigger reimbursements to the agency for these administrative costs regardless of whether or not the child had actually entered foster care, and these reimbursements to the agency may continue so long as the child remains a potential candidate for entry. Once the determination is made that a child is no longer a ‘candidate’ for entry into care these reimbursements stop. Hence, there exists a clear financial incentive to agencies to maintain a case as open.”
