In plain language

The amendment extends Purchase of Care eligibility to additional situations beyond foster care placement.

This amendment allows children to qualify for Purchase of Care funding not only when placed in foster care but also when certified by DSCYF as in need. This includes instances where a child is cared for by a relative or fictive kin while their family is involved with DSCYF.

What this means for you
  • Families: Families may find it easier to access financial support for child care when involved with DSCYF.

Summary

This amendment clarifies that in addition to a child being automatically eligible for Purchase of Care upon placement in foster care, a child is also automatically eligible for Purchase of Care when the Department of Services for Children, Youth & Their Families (DSCYF) certifies that a child is otherwise in need of Purchase of Care. These situations may include when a child’s family is involved with DSCYF’s Division of Family Services (DFS) and the child would be in foster care if not for being in the care of a family member or fictive kin.
