Public Hearing Information: No public hearing is currently scheduled.

Public Comment Deadline: July 9, 2021.

Agency Contact: Traci B. Jones, Program Manager, Department of Social Services, 801 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 726-7499, or email traci.jones@dss.virginia.gov.

Basis: Section 63.2-217 of the Code of Virginia requires the State Board of Social Services to adopt such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purpose of Title 63.2 of the Code of Virginia.

Purpose: The proposed regulatory action makes additional daily supervision (ADS) payments a requirement to be offered to all foster parents based on the needs of the child, regardless of whether the foster family is approved through a therapeutic foster care (TFC) agency or a local department of social services (LDSS). The uniform assessment tool is used to determine payments that are available for a child who has a clearly-defined need that requires a parent to provide increased support and supervision based on the child's needs. This proposed regulatory action is necessary to protect the welfare of citizens serving as foster and adoptive placements and those children being placed in foster and adoptive homes by ensuring that they receive any ADS payments that are due under the uniform rate assessment tool. Requiring the LDSS to offer ADS to all families will ensure fair and consistent treatment of foster families and provide the necessary support to ensure the health and well-being of children placed in their homes. The proposed regulatory action will also incorporate language specific to the administration of the uniform assessment tool for the purpose of adoption assistance by extending the timeframe for the readministration of the uniform rate assessment tool. The proposed regulatory change will increase the timeliness of adoptions because it will allow the LDSS and the adoptive parents to use an existing uniform assessment tool that was administered within the last six months instead of the previous requirement that the uniform assessment tool be readministered after three months. Finally, the proposed regulatory action will incorporate language specific to the kinship guardianship assistance program and the administration of the uniform assessment tool for the purpose of determining additional daily supervision payments for children who exit foster care to the custody of a relative through this recently enacted program.

Substance: The agency conducted a periodic review of the regulation. The greatest substantive changes are (i) the proposal that ADS be offered to all foster, adoptive, and kinship families regardless of their status of therapeutic or nontherapeutic and (ii) the amendment of the timeframe for the readministration of the uniform rate assessment tool from three to six months for the purpose of determining ADS payments for adoption assistance. Language has also been added to incorporate Virginia's kinship guardianship assistance program. Additionally, it was determined that all references to the Child and Family Services Manual must be removed to make this chapter consistent with other chapters of regulation.

Issues: This regulatory action poses both advantages and disadvantages to the public and the Commonwealth. The requirement to offer ADS to all foster families who have children placed in their home will have a financial impact on the LDSS that do not currently offer this to their non-therapeutic foster care families. However, the proposed change to regulation will ensure that all foster families are treated equally and are properly supported to ensure the safety and well-being of every child placed in a foster home in Virginia. This will likely lead to an increase in the number of foster families across the Commonwealth. The amendments to the Additional Daily Supervision Rate Structure regulation will extend the amount of time that the uniform rate assessment tool is readministered from three months to six months prior to establishing adoption assistance. The primary advantage to the Commonwealth and LDSS is that this c will decrease the timeframe of finalizing adoption assistance for eligible foster care children because the uniform assessment tool will not have to be readministered until six months instead of the previous timeframe of three months.

Department of Planning and Budget's Economic Impact Analysis:

Summary of the Proposed Amendments to Regulation. The State Board of Social Services (Board) proposes to 1) require all local departments of social services (LDSS) to offer additional daily supervision (ADS) payments, 2) extend the amount of time that the uniform rate assessment tool is re-administered from three months to six months prior to establishing adoption assistance, 3) add language to incorporate Virginia's kinship guardianship assistance program, and 4) to make numerous other changes to simplify, clarify, and update regulatory language.

Result of Analysis. The benefits likely exceed the costs for all proposed changes.

Estimated Economic Impact.

Changes in Standards for Additional Daily Supervision Payments. This regulation establishes standards for LDSS to use when determining the amounts of ADS payments for foster and adoptive parents as well as prospective relative custodians who meet the criteria for kinship guardianship assistance. The purpose of the ADS payments is to cover higher than normal supervision and support needs of children who have special needs. Currently, ADS payments are offered in certain localities, but 29 localities do not offer this financial assistance to their non-therapeutic-foster-care families.

The Board proposes to require that ADS payments be offered to all foster parents based on the needs of the child across all localities regardless of the status of being therapeutic or non-therapeutic. The Board estimates that there are approximately 123 additional children who would be eligible for additional daily supervision in the 29 localities that do not offer this payment currently. Based on the average ages of children in the LDSS homes that do not currently provide an ADS payment and the average payments across the state, it is estimated that the localities affected would be responsible for an additional combined $130,129 a month ($74,824 from state funds/$32,532 from federal funds/$22,773 from local funds). This amount is the total amount that would be distributed among the 29 localities affected depending on the number of children they have in foster care. It is estimated that half of the children in foster care are eligible for federal funding through title IV-E and the other half will be reimbursed with Comprehensive Services Act general funds and local funds.

The main benefits of this change include ensuring that all foster families are treated equally across all localities and are properly supported to maintain the safety and well-being of every child placed in a foster home in Virginia. With this change, ADS payments would be established based on the needs of the child throughout the state. This change should also incentivize families to foster children with special needs across the Commonwealth.

Extension of Time for Administering Uniform Rate Assessment Tool. The Board also proposes to extend the amount of time that the uniform rate assessment tool is re-administered from three months to six months prior to establishing adoption assistance. The uniform assessment tool is used to determine payments that are available for a child that has a clearly-defined need that requires a parent to provide increased support and supervision based on the child's needs. Currently, some of the adoptions may be delayed if the uniform rate assessment has not been re-administered in the last three months.

The main benefits of this change include extending the timeframe that the assessment should be re-administered, which would allow LDSS to use an existing assessment from the last six months and expedite the adoption process as well as establishment of the payments for adoption assistance. As a result, timeliness of adoptions is expected to improve. The Board staff estimates that approximately 12 adoptions have been delayed in the past six months due to needing a new assessment completed under the current rules. Additionally, the use of an existing assessment does not result in any increase in adoption payments whereas a new assessment may result in higher payments. Under federal rules, an adoption assistance may be increased based on a new assessment, but may not be reduced even if the new assessment indicates a lower amount. Thus, there would also be some fiscal savings from the use of an existing assessment. Those savings would likely be limited to some extent because an adoptive parent may request a new assessment done anytime and would likely do so if he or she thinks it would increase the assistance amount. Finally, this change would reduce the number of times the uniform rate assessment tool needs to be re-administered and provide some staff-time savings to the LDSS.

Additional Changes that Are Not Expected to Have Significant Impacts. The proposed changes also add language to incorporate Virginia's kinship guardianship assistance program. This is a program that facilitates child placements with relatives and ensures permanency for children for whom adoption or being returned home are not appropriate permanency options. The program has been enacted by the 2018 General Assembly and payments have been made under that statutory authority.¹ This regulation will incorporate language to reflect the operations of the program as currently followed in practice.

Since the proposed changes will not affect the current operations of the program, no significant economic effect is expected upon promulgation of the proposed amendments beyond providing the details of the rules and procedures that must be followed by LDSS as they apply to the kinship guardianship assistance program.

The Board also proposes to revise the stated ADS payment amount for emergency placements in the regulation from $1,600 to $1,120 monthly as that is the current payment made for emergency placements by LDSS. According to the Board staff, this amount was reduced by the Commissioner in 2012, but the regulatory language has not been updated until now to reflect that change. This change too is not expected to have a significant impact other than improving the accuracy of the language to reflect the correct amount that is paid.

Other nonsubstantive changes include removing all references to the Child and Family Services Manual to make this chapter consistent with other chapters of regulation and numerous changes to simplify, clarify, and update language to ensure the standards provide appropriate direction to the LDSS.

Businesses and Entities Affected. This regulation applies to 120 LDSS, prospective foster parents, prospective adoptive parents, prospective kinship guardianship assistance parents, children that are being adopted, and children who are discharged from foster care to the custody of a relative. The Board staff estimates that ADS payments would be provided to additional 123 children. The Board staff also estimates that the use of existing assessments would expedite approximately 12 adoptions per six-month period.

Localities Particularly Affected. This regulation would particularly affect the following LDSS that do not currently offer ADS to their nontherapeutic foster care homes: Fluvanna, Goochland, Lunenburg, Middlesex, Richmond County, Cumberland, Powhatan, King and Queen, Alleghany, Craig, Halifax, Mecklenburg, Nelson, Pittsylvania, Rockbridge, Shenandoah Valley, Bland, Floyd, Grayson, Giles, Radford, Washington, Gloucester, Clarke, Frederick, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, Warren, and Winchester.

Projected Impact on Employment. The proposed extension of the time to re-administer the uniform assessment tool would provide some staff-time savings to the LDSS.

Effects on the Use and Value of Private Property. The proposed amendments would not affect the use and value of private property.

Real Estate Development Costs. The proposed amendments would not affect real estate development costs.

Small Businesses:

Definition. Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.04 of the Code of Virginia, small business is defined as "a business entity, including its affiliates, that (i) is independently owned and operated and (ii) employs fewer than 500 full-time employees or has gross annual sales of less than $6 million."

Costs and Other Effects. The proposed amendments would not have costs or other effects on small businesses.

Alternative Method that Minimizes Adverse Impact. The proposed amendments would not have adverse impacts on small businesses.

Adverse Impacts:

Businesses. The proposed amendments would not have adverse impacts on businesses.

Localities. The proposed amendments would adversely affect following localities by increasing their share of costs to provide ADS payments to additional 123 cases across the Commonwealth: Fluvanna, Goochland, Lunenburg, Middlesex, Richmond County, Cumberland, Powhatan, King and Queen, Alleghany, Craig, Halifax, Mecklenburg, Nelson, Pittsylvania, Rockbridge, Shenandoah Valley, Bland, Floyd, Grayson, Giles, Radford, Washington, Gloucester, Clarke, Frederick, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, Warren, and Winchester.

Other Entities. The proposed amendments would increase the share of state funds to cover ADS payments to additional 123 children.
