Children in state custody who meet the special needs criteria found in Subsection 900.01 of these rules and do not qualify for Title IV-E adoption assistance found at Section 908 in these rules, may be eligible for state-funded adoption assistance benefits. If the child is determined ineligible for Title IV-E adoption assistance, the application will be evaluated for a state-funded subsidy. (7-1-25)
