Section DCF 58.03 - Types of relative caregiving

This chapter applies to the following types of relative caregiving of a child:

(1) COURT-ORDERED OUT-OF-HOME CARE PLACEMENT. A relative applying for or receiving kinship care payments on behalf of a child that was placed in the relative's home under a court order or a voluntary transition-to-independent-living agreement and is under the placement and care responsibility of a child welfare agency. A relative under this subsection shall also apply for or have applied for a license to operate a foster home under ch. DCF 56, unless the child was placed in the relative caregiver's home by a court order of a tribal court.
(2) VOLUNTARY. A relative applying for or receiving kinship care payments on behalf of a child residing with the relative for a child that was not placed in the relative caregiver's home under a court order or a voluntary transition-to-independent-living agreement and is not under the placement and care responsibility of a child welfare agency. The child's living arrangement with the relative may be informal or the relative may be the child's guardian under s. 48.9795, Stats., or a tribal private guardianship order.
(3) GUARDIAN APPOINTED FOR CHILD IN NEED OF PROTECTION OR SERVICES. A relative that is applying for or receiving long-term kinship care payments and is a child's guardian under s. 48.977, Stats., or a tribal court order that is substantially similar to an order under s. 48.977, Stats.
