Bill overview
This bill aims to improve child welfare services in Nevada by ensuring children in foster care receive all available federal benefits. It requires child welfare agencies to actively seek out and apply for benefits like Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits on behalf of eligible children. The bill also mandates agencies to establish accounts for these benefits, provide regular accounting, and offer financial counseling to the children. Finally, it outlines procedures for transferring benefits to new representatives or guardians when a child ages out of the system.
