Sec.17a-126-11. Homestudy requirements and exemptions

As a prerequisite to payment of a guardianship subsidy for the benefit of a minor child, a home study report shall be filed with the court having jurisdiction of the case of the minor within fifteen (15) days of the request for a subsidy provided that no such report shall be required to be filed if a report has previously been provided to the court or if the caregiver has been determined to be a certified relative caregiver by the commissioner. Such home study report shall be substantively equivalent to the home study report used by the department in the case of a foster family or prospective adoptive family placement.
