Children: foster care; conditions on the use of certain benefits for a child in foster care; provide. Amends 1994 PA 203 (MCL 722.951 - 722.960) by adding sec. 8f.

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to screen children in foster care for eligibility for various benefits, such as Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits, and apply for them if the child is not already receiving them. If the department acts as the payee for these benefits, it must use or save the funds in the child's best interest, not to reimburse the state for care costs, and conserve at least 50% of benefits for children aged 14-17. The bill also mandates annual accounting of how benefits are used and, if appropriate, provides financial literacy training to foster children aged 14 and older.
