Families are built by love.

Yes. You do need some type of documentation showing that the child is living with you and that you are the caregiver responsible for them. We understand that kinship situations look different for every family. Some caregivers have full legal guardianship through the court. Others are in the middle of the process. Some are caring for a child through a family arrangement and are still working on legal steps. To protect the children we serve and to make sure support is going to the right home, we require proof of kinship placement or caregiving responsibility. This can include one or more of the following: • A court order showing guardianship, temporary guardianship, custody, or placement. • A notarized letter that explains the child is living with you and that you are the person providing daily care. • School documentation showing the child is enrolled with your address. This can include a letter from the school or official enrollment documents listing you as the caregiver and the child living with you. • Other official documentation that confirms the child resides with you and you are responsible for them. If you are not sure what you have counts, do not worry. Email us what you do have and we will let you know what works. Our goal is not to make things hard. Our goal is to serve families safely, responsibly, and fairly. .
