Section 413-070-0905 - Funding of Guardianship Assistance

(1) When grandparents or other approved relatives make a permanent commitment to and assume legal guardianship of a child for whom they have cared as a substitute caregiver, the Department provides guardianship assistance as described in OAR 413-070-0900 to 413-070-0974.

(2) Guardianship assistance for Title IV-E children and young adults is funded in part with Title IV-E funds as authorized by the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-351).

(3) A child who is ineligible for Title IV-E funded guardianship assistance may be eligible for state-funded guardianship assistance as described in OAR 413-070-0917(3).

(4) State-funded guardianship assistance is subject to the availability of funds. When all available state funds are obligated, the Department will continue to:

(a) Accept new applications;

(b) Accept requests to adjust a guardianship assistance payment; and

(c) Establish a waiting list.

(5) When state funds are unavailable and a new guardianship assistance application is received, the guardian may sign a guardianship assistance agreement only to prevent delay in finalizing the guardianship, with the understanding that guardianship assistance may be available at a later date.
