No, it will more likely be a 'sanction' similar to welfare sanctions [which are $25/6 mos. per incident.]What I can't figure out is how they will legally do that, since the foster dollars are in theory for complete support of the child and not the parents [yeah,right]

Good point, and one that had not occurred to me. How do you punish the responsible party without also punishing the one you're purporting to protect? Makes you go Hmmmmm.

Also, I wonder how many infractions they're planning to allow before pulling the kid(s.)

The article IS woefully short of specifics.

While you are correct that people aren't exactly standing line to be foster parents, it likewise needs to be said that many of them aren't actually fit to be foster parents.

Amen!

As with other entitlements, I'm betting it will be three strikes and you're out. This is their way of clamping down on expenses.

Possibly, but I can't see a bit of difference between the expenses as they are now and the added expense incurred by needing extra manpower, man hours and materials (i.e. bureaucratic forms in triplicate) in order to enforce this new regulation that results in violations... or sanctions... or whatever.

LOL!

We are speaking the same language. One big reason I resigned from welfare was that every time a worker resigned they split the caseload among the rest of us! They actually think it will work to have clients reporting changes and recertifying themselves!

I hate to tell you, but they LIE! [I know, it must be shocking.]

Bottom line: it will cost the people most who can bear it the least - you & me taxpayer and the kids. :o(
