I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this directive is to advise social services
districts of the requirements for establishing financial eligibility and appropriate claiming procedures for the children of minor parents who are placed together with their minor parents, who are themselves foster children, in either family foster homes or residential care facilities, and for the children of minor parents who are placed together in adoptive homes with subsidy.
Furthermore, this directive offers guidelines for social services districts as to when commissioner's custody of the child of the minor parent in foster care is appropriate and when custody of such child should remain with his or her minor parent.
