How much do foster parents get paid?

Foster parents do not get paid a salary for caring for children; they receive a monthly reimbursement payment that is intended to provide for the needs (e.g., food, clothing, school supplies, maintenance, and special needs) of the foster child in their care. The amount of money provided monthly depends on the age of the foster child and the geographical cost-of-living differential. The money received is not a wage or salary for the foster family.
