Description

Part of #3027

Youth 14+ in foster care in MD are supposed to receive money deposited into a “Foster Youth Savings” account each year. This money vests to them when they leave foster care.

https://dhs.maryland.gov/documents/SSA%20Policy%20Directives/Child%20Welfare/SSA%2022-10%20CW%20Foster-Youth-Savings-Policy.pdf

We would like to be able to track the status of these deposits for volunteers so they can ensure the youths are getting the money.

Figure out how best to model this data. Create the tables and models needed to support this function.

Criteria for Completion

  • PLEASE come up with something better than youth savings year (I am soooo bad at naming things)
  • Build table(s) needed to track deposits to the savings plan associated with each case
  • Build models to track deposits to savings plan
  • Consider how you want to track the deposits (should it track monetary deposits or be a boolean of some sort)

More Details

  • payouts happen on a fiscal year basis 7/1 to 6/30
  • 2 main types of deposits: annually recurring and one time achievement
