Today I got a judicial review report that had something attached I'd not seen before, a "Notice of Fee Assessment and Rights of Foster Child Regarding Government Benefits".
Take a look at an example here.
How about this from the form: "This is to notify you that the department has assessed the child a monthly fee for the cost of care from his or her Social Security or other benefit payment."
Wow.
It seems to say that if a child in foster care gets certain federal benefits, he or she may have to turn around and pay that money to the State of Florida for the privilege of being removed from his or family and relatives. Can this be true?
