HRS §346-17.5
Federal aid for children in foster care
This section limits how many children in foster care can receive federal maintenance payments if they have been in care over two years. It sets a cap and then requires the state to lower that number each year. It is a narrow rule about federal funding, not about individual foster care rights.
