AB 349: Foster care supplement.

This bill aims to amend the welfare and institutions code to increase the monthly supplement paid to foster care providers when a child lives with a parent receiving certain benefits. The supplement, currently $489, would be adjusted for inflation starting July 1, 2026. This change applies to children living with parents receiving aid to families with dependent children-foster care, kinship guardianship assistance, or approved relative caregiver funding. The bill does not require reimbursement for the state-mandated local program, as it falls under the responsibility of the counties administering these benefits.
