INDIANA: C.H. v. Payne
02.04.2010 | Child Protection
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ordering defendant, the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS), to restrain from implementing a 10% cut to all foster care maintenance payments, adoption assistance payments and reimbursement rates for title IV-E licensed child placing agencies or residential placement providers. Plaintiffs, representing foster parents and foster children receiving foster care maintenance payments from DCS, adoptive parents and adopted special needs children receiving adoption assistance payments from DCS and the Indiana Association of Residential Child Car Agencies, moved for the preliminary injunction in response to DCS’ plans to reduce the payments across the board by 10%, proposing to save the state approximately $10million.
