Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes
The purpose of this broadcast is to inform local departments of social services (LDSS) and Regional Adoption Negotiators of a change to policy in the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) Child and Family Services Manual, Chapter F: Adoption, Section 2: Adoption Assistance. The new state policy will allow the VEMAT to be re-administered at any point while the Adoption Assistance Agreement is in place if there are special needs for the adopted child that were present but not known or diagnosed at the signing of the initial adoption assistance agreement. Additionally, there will no longer be required timeframes in regards to establishing an enhanced maintenance payment in order to move forward with finalizing an adoption.
