Idaho Kinship Program¶
Idaho Kinship Program provides a cash stipend of up to $309 per month to grandparents and other relatives caring for children ages 0 to 18.
Eligibility¶
- Care recipient age: at least 0 and under 18
- Relationship: grandparent, other relative
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Idaho? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Does your relationship to the person — grandparent or other relative — count for this program?
- Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (0–18)?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
