SECTION 700.1051. Is a permanent kinship conservator still eligible to receive permanency care assistance from Texas if the conservator moves outside the state?  


Latest version.
  • Yes. DFPS will continue to provide the monthly assistance payments specified in the permanency care assistance agreement no matter where the permanent kinship conservator resides, provided the permanent kinship conservator notifies DFPS of any change of address. DFPS provides Texas Medicaid coverage only if the state to which the permanent kinship conservator custodian moves does not agree to cover the child who is the subject of the permanency care assistance agreement under its state Medicaid program.
