Dear Providers:

Effective July 1, 2017, the foster care per diem will increase by $10/day and relative subsidy programs rates will increase by $5/day. This is notably the highest increase ever approved for foster parents and relative caregivers in Georgia and a significant accomplishment in providing caregivers with the resources needed to meet the growing needs of children in foster care.

Please view the complete memo at www.gascore.com/documents/FosterParentPerDiemRates.pdf for more information, including the updated rate schedule.

Thank you.
