We got everything we asked for because Alexis was Title IV eligible plus she was 8 years old. We got the regular stipend til she's 18 of 300/month, a 2k travel reimbursement (had to present receipts to the SW), and medicaid (state of Florida) til she's 18. I believe if the child needs more help medically you can go above the 300 but I'm not sure about that. Of course you would have to prove that you need more also. That was all we were entitled to so I don't know what is above and beyond that. Best bet is to ask the SW in Idaho what they think you can get approved for. Our SW was good as she pushed for the max on everything and we were approved no problems...didn't even have to negotiate with them. But then again the original SW told my husband that our niece's case was the worst case of child abuse she had seen in her 20 yrs there and she was taken due to aggravated circumstances. I think that had a part in her being eligible too.
