Ok, Regs@ missed this one, but in honor of the the ACIN’s year anniversary…. What’s a county to do when a child gets CalWORKs by living with a relative, who then dies? If the child is now living with a non-legal guardian non-relative, the county is required to tell the non-relative caretaker that 1) the child may be eligible for Foster Care benefits and 2) the local legal aid office or county bar association may be able to provide additional information and assistance in pursuing such benefits. If interested, the county is then to refer the household to apply for Foster Care benefits.
