Resolve, Requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to Study Options for Allowing Children in the Department's Custody to Receive Federal Benefits

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to apply for federal benefits from the Social Security Administration or Department of Veterans Affairs for children in its custody who may be eligible. The department must notify the child, their attorney, and parents about the application. If the department acts as the payee, it cannot use the benefits for the child's care costs but can use them for unmet needs, establish special-needs trusts, provide annual accounting, and offer financial literacy training to the child.
