Prospective foster parents who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) may be verified if they otherwise meet the requirements set forth in the Minimum Standards for Child-Placing Agencies.
The FAD worker must obtain and document information about money management and spending habits, since TANF payments may not meet all of the family's budgetary needs. The FAD worker must also assess the family's resources to evaluate their ability to financially care for a foster child.
