HB 1374 Colorado 2026A session
Kinship Care Funding Provisions
The act eliminates financial assistance and supports and reimbursement to county departments of human or social services (county departments) for non-certified kinship care homes. The act specifies that county departments are not required to provide financial assistance and supports for non-certified kinship care homes, except as required by the federal 'Social Security Act' and by Colorado's out-of-home placement required services and temporary custody provisions. The act requires the department of human services to create a standardized notice for non-certified kinship care providers regarding the discontinuation of non-certified kinship care financial assistance. The act requires county departments to provide the notice by June 15, 2026, to non-certified kinship foster care homes currently receiving monthly payments.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
