House Bill 737 - Historically, Children’s Division used the federal benefits of foster children (e.g., Social Security) toward the cost of their care. Section 210.560 RSMo was amended effective August 28, 2025, and prohibits the division from using those funds for the cost of children’s routine care and services.
