State Kin-GAP Participation

To receive benefits under the State Kin-GAP program a child must meet all the basic eligibility requirements under the federal Kin-GAP program with the following exceptions:

• Children who have PRUCOL status.
• Children that were not federally eligible at the time of removal from the home when they entered into dependency except with multiple placements as stated in Multiple Placements under the Federal Kin-GAP Participation section.
• Children/youths returning to court dependency may return to Kin-GAP as long as guardianship was not dismissed, but only under the State Kin-GAP program. If a new guardianship is established, then a new eligibility determination must be made.
