Group Home Rates
Rates are determined by the state and granted an annual increase based on the CNI. A GH is not entitled to the new rate until the state issues the approval. For California GH placements placed out of the state, the rate to be paid is the rate established by the rate-setting authority of the other state. Additionally, out of state GHs cannot exceed the California RCL 14 rate or exceed the rate determined by the rate-setting authority for the state in which the facility is located. The county is responsible for determining if any non-allowable costs are included in the rate and ensuring that only allowable costs are claimed for Federal Title IV-E AFDC reimbursement. Allowable costs are defined as food, clothing, shelter, daily supervision, school supplies, a child’s personal incidentals and liability insurance with respect to the placed child, reasonable travel to the child’s home for visitation and reasonable travel to the child’s school of origin. For GHs placements allowable cost also include reasonable administration.

Other Counties Rates
Effective 7/1/16
Due to a grandfathering of their rates which occurred when the basic rates were added by statute in 1989, certain basic rates paid by Los Angeles, Orange, Marin, and Santa Clara counties exceed the current statewide basic rates specified in WIC Section 11461(a). Counties with higher than the state set basic rate shall receive one-half of the percentage adjustments until the county’s adjusted rates and the state’s basic rates are equivalent. Effective July 1, 2012, Los Angeles, Marin and Santa Clara counties rates are at the state’s equivalent except Orange County.
The following chart represents Orange county rates for basic FFH established prior to May 1, 2011. SCI rates are determined per county and must be verified individually. All other rates (i.e. Group Homes, FFAs, etc.) are standard throughout the state.
The following rates effect Kin-GAP and Non-Dependent NRLG rates where legal guardianship was established prior to May 1, 2011.
Effective July 1, 2016 are the new Orange County rates listed below:
| TYPE OF PAYMENT / PLACEMENT | CHILD’S AGE | BASIC RATE July 1, 2014 | BASIC RATE July 1, 2015 | BASIC RATE July 1, 2016 |
