Question Is this for Real?

My husband and I became an approved foster care home to accept my 4 yr old nephew for foster/kinship care from the State of FL - through an ICPC. He arrives in 2 days and I still do not feel we have proper information.

Is it true that foster children do not automatically get childcare vouchers? I work and he needs to go to daycare. I have the CCCI paperwork, but there is a waiting list until next July - by then we will probably have adopted him (TPR is finished). In FL they automatically receive this benefit without waiting - nice isn't it.

What other benefits, beyond medical ins., does a foster child get and where/who should I contact? Our local county caseworker hasn't provided that information, if there is any, yet.

Thank You!

Bella
