Sec.17a-116-10. Amount of periodic subsidy

(a) The amount of periodic subsidy payment shall not exceed the current cost of foster maintenance care as determined by the Department. Such payments shall be adjusted to reflect any changes in the Department's foster maintenance care rates.

(b) Payments of less than the full cost of foster maintenance care may be made if the adoptive parents indicate that a lesser amount would be adequate to facilitate the adoption placement of the child.

(c) The Department will take into consideration any other income available to the child and will reduce the amount of subsidy payment to reflect the child's own income from other sources such as Social Security, Veteran's Administration, etc.
