What is the adoption support reconsideration program?
(1) When funded by the legislature, the adoption support reconsideration program allows the department to register an eligible adopted child for limited state-funded support (see RCW 74.13.150).
(2) The reconsideration program provides for payment of medical and counseling services to address the physical, mental, developmental, cognitive, or emotional disability of the child that resulted in the child's eligibility for the program. Payments are made directly to the provider, not to the adoptive parents.
(3) The adoptive parents' basic health insurance must provide primary coverage and must be used before billing the reconsideration program. The adoption support reconsideration program must be the secondary insurer.
(4) There is a twenty thousand dollar per child lifetime cap on this program.
(5) The program requires the adoptive parent and the department to sign an adoption support reconsideration agreement specifying the terms, conditions, and length of time the child will receive limited support.
