ACL 09-85: California Alliance of Child and Family Services v. Wagner: Scope of Injunction (12/28/09)

On December 14, 2009, the Court issued an amended Preliminary Injunction to prohibit the rate reduction for all children placed in group homes, whether or not they are federally eligible. Therefore, the state is enjoined from reducing rates for any children in group home care. For services rendered November 04, 2009 forward, counties shall pay the rates shown in the letter. If the county has already paid a non federally eligible child the lower rate, a supplemental check must be issued. [Download]
