Description
A new California bill that will protect the social security benefits of foster children is one signature away from becoming law.
Assembly Bill 1512, introduced by State Assembly Majority Leader Isaac Bryan, was passed by the State Legislature and sent to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk for signature on Thursday.
Once the bill is signed into law, county agencies will be prohibited from using a foster child's state or federal benefits to pay for their care. It will also require that agencies notify the child or their guardian of the benefit payments.
