New York Senate Bill S8745: Relates To The Subsidies That May Be Provided To A Parent Who Adopts A Disabled Or Hard To Place Child

On March 6, 2024, the New York Senate published this Senate Bill (SB) 8745, which relates to the subsidies that may be provided to a parent who adopts a disabled or hard-to-place child. This bill caused the New York Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to update its policies to more promptly block post-adoption subsidies from going to adoptive parents when the adoption has been broken and the adoptive parent is no longer providing support for the child . . .
