level, not upon the highest level of service the caregiver has been trained to
provide.

monthly foster care maintenance payment provides for the child's board and
room, care and supervision, basic clothing and personal incidentals, and may
also include a supplemental daily payment based upon a child's medical need or
to assist with care of a youth's child while residing with the youth in an
out-of-home placement. Foster care maintenance may also include periodic
one-time payments for special needs such an initial clothing allowance,
additional needs for a baby, additional clothing, gifts, lessons or equipment,
recreation, non-tuition school expenses, and other needs recommended by the
child and family team and approved by Child and Family Services.

reviews, and for transporting the child to activities beyond those normally
required for a family. The caregiver must document the mileage on a form
provided by Child and Family Services.
