Our Adoption Subsidy Agreement states that they are granting a state adoption subsidy vs title iv-e. I believe our daughter is eligible for title iv-e.
It also states that reviews are annually and these reviews can affect both financial and medical.
Also because it is state and not title iv-e the state insurance may not follow if we move. This really concerns me.
Can anyone clarify the title iv-e eligibility for me? and are the subsidy's usually reviewed annually? And what are the reviews typically about/looking for? I don't want to sign something that they would easily deny in one year.
tia for any information

depends on state...

they are updates annually in Virginia

IN Missouri, you know what they do never makes since, they did a 2 year one on us, and then because they don't do career rate, that is up till he turns 18..

Title IV-E means that the child was on welfair or could have qualified from SSI when they came into care... basically that they came from poor people (at least that is how it was explained)

most states belong to ICAMA (i think it is called) interstate compact for medical assistance or something like that... and they will accept child and give state only subs medicaid...

most sending state might also pay insurance on the few states that don't belong to ICAMA

IV-E is a federal program and it based on the child's families financial status when they were originally placed in foster care. A state subsidy is reviewed as often as the state would like and they can increase or decrease as they want basically. Missouri recently tried to end their state subsidy but the Judge ruled they couldn't when the adoptive parents banded together and fought it. It can be based on the parents income and they don't have to provide medical.
