Federal Funding Exceptions for Siblings

When siblings are placed together and at the same time, the caseworker must apply for permanency care assistance on behalf of the child who is eligible for Title IV-E funding, to make the joining siblings eligible for Title IV-E assistance.

To determine which child in a sibling group is the primary child eligible for Title IV-E funding, the caseworker must contact the adoption assistance eligibility specialist.

If there is no child eligible for Title IV-E funding in the sibling group, the children receive state-paid funding.
