Why does the Bush Administrations 2005 Budget propose to clarify the process for determining eligibility for the federal Foster Care Program?
In its FY 2005 budget request, the Bush Administration proposes to “clarify the process for determining eligibility in the Foster Care Program” in order to circumvent the Rosales decision. Rather than changing the HHS policy, the Administration proposes to change the law to conform to HHS policy and to continue to deny federal foster care assistance to tens of thousands of children living with relatives. HHS estimates that the savings to the federal government by changing the law would be $77 million in FY 2005 and $375 million over the next five years.
