Special Needs

There are two special needs for Foster Care and Kin-GAP:

  • Burial expenses, and
  • Clothing allowances.

Any other increases in the cost of a child's or youth’s care are processed as:

  • Requests for service funds (outside of Foster Care Eligibility),
  • Special Care Increments (SCI), or
  • When no other source of funding is available, a DE.

Reminder: For ARC cases, refer to Approved Relative Caregiver (ARC) Funding Option Program
