“[A] plan designed to ensure that counties identify and apply for eligible benefits on behalf of foster children and secure them in a savings account. That account would be made available to children when they exit the foster care system or used with the guidance of their guardians to pay for expenses not typically covered by the state.
The bill would further prohibit the commonwealth from using the child’s funds to reimburse itself, ensuring that children aren’t paying for their own care.”
