Summary:

GAO provided information on federal reimbursement to foster care facilities serving California, focusing on whether four out-of-state group homes operated primarily for the detention of children and were eligible for federal reimbursement. GAO noted that: (1) California claimed expenditures of $552 million for federal foster care reimbursement in 1994; (2) over 94,000 of California's children were in foster care at the end of 1994; (3) there was little evidence of inappropriate claims for federal reimbursement for placements at the four out-of-state group homes in fiscal years 1993 and 1994; and (4) one facility's claim for federal reimbursement was inappropriate, since the facility had been designated as a detention facility.
