§ 10:90-19.4 Kinship Care Subsidy Program application process

The Kinship Care subsidies shall be administered through the CSSAs. The kinship legal guardian must apply for the KCSP in order to receive the kinship subsidy benefit for the child. All kinship legal guardians are considered the "payee" for a related child in his or her care when the child is not their natural or adopted child. The applicant shall provide his or her case file papers that were completed by the designated entity, including the original eligibility determination, which shall be retained and attached to the kinship subsidy application. In order to receive a WFNJ kinship subsidy, all eligible children up to 16 years old must be attending school on a full- time basis and 16 through 18 year old children must be attending school on a full-time basis or participating in an appropriate work activity (see N.J.A.C. 10:90-1.2(f)10iv, 2.2(c) and (d)1, 4.2(f) and 4.8(a)). To receive the kinship subsidy for the eligible child, the kinship legal guardian shall sign the application and agree to cooperate with efforts to collect child support from the parents of the child. The decision to apply rests with the applicant. History
