A child who is determined to be ineligible for Title IV-E foster care assistance is deemed eligible for state-paid foster care assistance. DFPS elects to receive the SSI benefits for a child who is eligible for state-paid foster care assistance and uses the SSI to offset the child’s monthly foster care payments. The child’s state-paid foster care payments do not affect the child’s eligibility for SSI or the amount of SSI benefits a child receives.
