Kinship Child Only - Screening
An application for CA must be screened for potential Kinship Child Only special considerations. The following criteria qualify the application for these special considerations:
●The PI is not applying for the PI's own children
●The PI is not applying for themselves
When one of the special Kinship Child Only considerations are met, document the
case file(g) with the following applicable information:
Register all people in the caretaker relative's
family(g) of the child for whom benefits are being requested. This is so AZTECS is able to conduct the
CA Needy Family Test.
When the child is receiving guardian subsidy payments from the
Department of Child Safety (DCS) or is placed in licensed foster care or a group home by DCS, the child is not eligible for CA.
