Title IV-E Plan Amendment–Separate Licensing Standards for Relative or Kinship Foster Family Homes

Published by Administration for Children and Families | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: September 07, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-06
This Program Instruction provides instructions for title IV-E agencies that opt to adopt licensing or approval standards for relative or kinship foster family homes that differ from the standards used for non-relative foster family homes.  It also provides instructions for title IV-E agencies to implement the requirement that a licensed or approved relative or kinship foster family home receives the same amount of foster care maintenance payment (FCMP) that would have been made if the child was placed in a non-related/non-kinship foster family home.
