benefits to pay for the child’s current 

needs, including the cost of monthly 

foster care maintenance payments. 

Payees must conserve SSA benefits for 

future use only after meeting all of the 

child’s current and foreseeable needs. 

How effectively do these rules 

contribute to the ability of child welfare 

agencies to serve children in foster care? 

Are there differences depending on 

whether the child receives Social 

Security benefits or SSI payments? 

• Please describe if it would be 

beneficial to offer additional guidance 

or clarification related to when Social 

Security benefits or SSI payments must 

be conserved by payees, including, as 

applicable, child welfare agencies, or 

expand on what kinds of factors should 

be considered in a conservation 

decision. 

• For child welfare agencies that 

serve as payees for children in foster 

care, how do you make decisions about 

the use and conservation of the 

children’s SSA benefits? What do you 

do with SSA benefits that are not used 

as part of the monthly foster care 

maintenance payment? 

• For child welfare agencies that 

serve as payees for children in foster 

care, a child may be eligible to receive 

benefits from various sources, including 

Federal, State, and local. What are the 

benefits in using SSA benefits before or 

after other sources of funding to cover 

the costs of the child’s foster care 

maintenance? 

• For child welfare agencies, if you 

were required to conserve SSA benefits 

on behalf of eligible children in foster 

care, would that affect the agency’s 

decision about whether to screen or 

apply for SSA benefits on behalf of a 

child? 

• What would be the implications or 

challenges if child welfare agencies are 

restricted from using SSA benefits for 

foster care maintenance and required to 

conserve SSA benefits? 

• For child welfare agencies that 

serve as payees for children in foster 

care, do you conserve any amount of the 

children’s SSA benefits for future use? 

If not, why not? If you do, how do you 

determine how much to conserve? Do 

you hold the funds, such as in a savings 

account or a trust account? Do you use 

Achieving a Better Life Experience 

(ABLE) accounts or special needs trusts 

to conserve funds? What are the benefits 

of and impediments to using ABLE 

accounts or special needs trusts? Does 

the decision on whether to conserve 

benefits depend on the type of benefit 

provided to the child (e.g., Social 

Security, SSI, foster care maintenance 

payments, etc.)? 

• For current and former foster youth, 

what current needs would be met if you 

had access to your conserved SSA 

benefits? Are there examples of current 

needs that are not commonly met by the 

monthly foster care maintenance 

payments? If so, which needs? 

General 

• Are there other aspects of HHS’s or 

SSA’s programs where guidance, 

technical assistance, or information can 

be offered or improved to better support 

children in foster care or otherwise in 

contact with the child welfare system?
