Respite Care Payments Question
We have our foster son's two half siblings for a week and our caseworker is telling us we won't get respite care funds but instead can receive up to $100 in reimbursable expenses if we turn in receipts because the case plan is still reunification. Actually, our foster son's case plan is not reunification as he is in process of being adopted by us but the 1/2 siblings plan is still technically reunification.
Anyone have thoughts on this and could tell me the rate they receive for respite care? My husband took a week off work so we could manage it and do fun stuff with them every day and I don't think I could do it without him as this gives me a 9 year old girl & 36 mo old girl in addition to our own 24 mo old and 18 mo old boys.
