PAP.15.6.070 Additional Child Within Six (6) Months.

If a relative caregiver applies for kinship care or long-term kinship care for a child that moves into the relative caregiver's home within six (6) months after the LCO Kinship Care Office determined that the relative caregiver is eligible for kinship care or long-term kinship care for a different child, all of the following apply:

(a) The LCO Kinship Care Office shall direct the relative caregiver to complete only the child-specific portions of the application under §PAP.15.3.020.

(b) The LCO Kinship Care Office is not required to conduct new background checks under subchapter 15.4.

(c) In determining whether living with the relative caregiver is in the best interests of the child under subchapter 15.5 the LCO Kinship Care Office may use information obtained for the Office's most recent determinations under §PAP.15.5.020, §PAP.15.5.030, and §PAP.15.5.040 for the other children.

(d) At the earliest date that an eligibility redetermination is required for the care of any child in the relative caregiver's home, the LCO Kinship Care Office shall redetermine the relative caregiver's eligibility for all children in the home for whom the relative caregiver is receiving kinship care payments or long-term kinship care payments.
