TAP’s vision is of a healthy adoptive, foster and kinship community, where children are protected and nurtured, and families are strong and self-reliant. Our mission is to advocate on behalf of all adoptive, foster and kinship families.
Casey Family Programs have developed a guide to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Benefits for Children and Youth in Out-of-Home Care . This Guide is intended to provide basic information about the rights of children or youth in out-of-home care to receive benefits under these two programs. In addition, this Guide reviews the basic application requirements, eligibility rules, and appeal procedures for SSI and Social Security and offers practical tips for effective advocacy. The Guide also describes the unique roles and responsibilities of state and county child welfare departments regarding the management of SSI and Social Security benefits. Finally, special issues of interest to foster parents, adoptive parents, resource family relatives, and older youth in care are reviewed.
Our goal is to surround each child and youth with a safe and loving adoptive, foster, or kinship home where parents have the tools and knowledge they need to parent children from tough places. TAP has won many awards locally and nationally for our work with families and children. Your financial contribution, at any level, will help us fulfill our mission.
TAP is a non-profit charity organization, so your donations are fully tax deductible.
