Post Adoption Special Services Support Funding: (PASSS)
Ohio offers a program known as Post Adoption Special Services Subsidy (PASSS). PASSS may be applied for after adoption finalization and provides funding to families for the reasonable costs of allowable services to address a child’s physical, developmental, mental, or emotional handicap or condition. A child’s condition may have existed before the adoption petition was filed or can have developed after the adoption petition was filed. The condition can be attributed to factors in a child’s pre-adoption background, medical history, or the biological family’s background or medical history. Limitations include eligibility criteria and the availability of state funding. Funding is only available when the assistance sought exceeds the adoptive family’s private resources and assistance is capped at $10,000 per fiscal year. Applications for assistance are reviewed by a Review Committee and can be approved in whole or in part, based on the needs of the child and the circumstances of the adoptive family. If assistance is not granted, or is not granted in the amount requested, adoptive parents can request a fair hearing.
