Second time’s a charm? Clarification of prior letter to explain the timing of the new program (1/1/11 for all new Kin-GAP applications to comply with the provisions of this ACL for determining benefits under both the new state-funded or federally-funded Kin-GAP Programs, and starting 1/1/11, to convert all existing Kin-GAP cases to the new program at or before the time of the child’s annual redetermination. The ACL also corrects the omission of two state KinGAP criteria: 1. If a relative guardian fails to negotiate a written binding agreement PRIOR to the establishment of the guardianship and the child still meets all other eligibility criteria, the child is only eligible for state-funded Kin-GAP; and 2. If dependency is left open by court order and the child meets all other eligibility criteria when dependency is dismissed, the child may be eligible for Kin-GAP. Finally, there is a clarification about extended Kin-Gap benefits. [Download]
