HB151 amends the Children in Foster Care Act to enhance benefits for children in foster care. It mandates county agencies to screen children for eligibility for federal and state benefits within 60 days of placement in foster care and annually thereafter. County agencies must assist children and their parents or guardians in applying for benefits if eligibility ceases upon entering foster care. The bill also requires county agencies to place children's benefits in individual financial accounts to avoid asset limitations for federal and state programs.
