SSA published a Request for Information in the Federal Register titled “Use and Conservation of Social Security Benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payments That Representative Payees Receive for Beneficiaries Residing in Foster Care.” This request sought “public input to inform how Federal agencies can support broader State and local efforts to improve the outcomes of children in the child welfare system who are eligible for Federal benefits.” NOSSCR, along with several of our allies, submitted official comments, linked below. We will keep you posted on any future action that the agency takes regarding foster care.
