Reintegration Allowance — Support for Returning to the Family Environment
The reintegration allowance is monetary social assistance paid to the biological family or to the guardian-carer of a person with special care needs, where that family or carer takes the person from a specialized institution to live in a family environment and provides appropriate care. The purpose of the allowance is that the state, through financial support, reflects the costs and effort associated with living with a new family member. The right to request it belongs to the family. The amount of the reintegration allowance is determined by the Government of Georgia, while the rule and conditions for its appointment, suspension, renewal and termination, as well as other relations connected with its payment, are regulated by the minister's order — the law does not set these details directly, and you should verify them precisely against that order.
Foster-Care Remuneration
Foster-care remuneration is monetary social assistance paid to a foster parent for the upkeep and upbringing of a foster child. It concerns a foster mother or father who, on the basis of a contract concluded with the state, provides living arrangements and care for a person with special care needs who is not a member of that family. The foster child is precisely the person transferred to the foster parent on the basis of that contract. This form of state care is close to family care and aims at the child's upbringing in a family environment — the remuneration is tied to the foster parent's performance of that function.
Family-Care Remuneration for an Adult
Family-care remuneration for an adult is monetary social assistance paid to a person who takes an adult from a specialized institution to live in a family environment and provides appropriate care. This instrument extends the policy of early deinstitutionalization — returning people from institutions to families — to adults as well. The amount of this remuneration and the periodicity of its payment are determined by the Government of Georgia, while the rule and conditions for its appointment, suspension, renewal and termination, as well as other relations connected with its payment, are regulated by the minister's order.
