Section 472 of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 672 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary shall conduct a pilot program under which, in the case of a child who is in a foster family home, for whom monthly foster care maintenance payments are made under this section, or on whose behalf adoption assistance payments or kinship guardianship assistance payments are being made under section 473, and who is receiving therapeutic foster care, a State shall be authorized to divide the monthly foster care maintenance payment, adoption assistance payment, or kinship guardianship assistance payment (as the case may be) in such portions as the State, in consultation with the Secretary, may elect, and to pay such portions to the child's foster or adoptive parent or parents, or relative guardian, and the therapeutic foster care program, respectively.
Not more than 10 States shall be approved to participate in the pilot program established under this subsection. An Indian tribe, tribal organization, or tribal consortium with a plan approved under section 479B may be approved to participate in the program and if so approved, shall count towards the State participation limit in subparagraph (A). The Secretary shall submit annual reports to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate on the pilot project established under this section.
Each report submitted shall include an analysis of the extent to which the pilot program encourages placement stability for children in therapeutic foster care, together with such other information and recommendations as the Secretary determines appropriate. .
