Medicaid is funded through Title XIX.įor purposes of title XIX, any child with respect to whom foster care maintenance payments are made under this section is deemed to be a dependent child as defined in section 406 (as in effect as of July 16, 1996) and deemed to be a recipient of aid to families with dependent children under part A of this title (as so in effect).
Local funds are used in conjunction with Title IV-E and CWS funds. Local funds are available when a child has income available to cover all or part of the monthly board payment. Other funds used for board payments are Title IV-B, (Subpart 1), Child Welfare Service (CWS) or through local funds. Children classified as Title IV-E eligible must have some relationship to the general Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program under Title IV, Part A of the Social Security Act and must meet certain other criteria outlined in this Section. It also provides funds for the administration of the program and for the training of staff who work with the children. The Title IV-E Program, authorized by Title IV, Part E of the Social Security Act, provides funds to states for maintaining certain children in foster care or in adoptive families. Payments are made for each child whose placement and care in a Resource Home or child care institution is the responsibility of DFCS, which administers the approved State Title IV-E plan, or any other public agency with whom the DFCS has made an agreement, which is still in effect. With direction from the youth court, DFCS has the responsibility for placing children in Resource Homes or child care institutions. DFCS also administers or supervises the administration of the State Child Welfare Services Plan under Subpart 1 of Title IV-B of the Social Security Act. Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS)/ Division of Family and Children's Services (DFCS) has been designated to administer or supervise the administration of the Title IV-E State Plan.
