Effective January 1, 2023, Tennessee's Senate Bill 2398, provides a monthly stipend to reduce the financial strain on designated relative caregivers who have final custody orders for children in their care. The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services will be required to pay the caregivers an amount equal to 50% of the full nonrelative foster care board rate if certain conditions are met.
