Request Title Increase foster care and adoptive payment rates

Description

Raises maximum maintenance payments made to foster family homes on behalf of foster children by three percent. Appropriation Act language requires an automatic adjustment for inflation be applied to the maximum room and board rates paid to foster parents in the fiscal year following a state employee pay raise. As state employees and state supported local employees received, on average, the equivalent of a three percent raise starting July 25, 2013; this addendum provides a similar percent increase to foster care rates beginning in FY 2015. This increase is also assumed for adoption subsidy funding to ensure that adoption subsidies keep pace with foster family rates and to avoid any disincentives to adoption.
