Subsidized Guardianship Process Flow Charts

Included in this resource are two flow charts, the Initial Subsidized Guardianship Process and Annual Subsidized Guardianship Review Process.

The Initial Subsidized Guardianship Process flow chart highlights the decision-making process from the beginning when guardianship is chosen as the child’s best permanency option. Click on the title to access a printable version of the Initial Subsidized Guardianship Process Flow Chart.

A yearly review is required to maintain subsidized guardianship payments. This process is described in the second flow chart entitled Annual  Subsidized Guardianship Review Process. Click on the title to access a printable version of the Annual Subsidized Guardianship Review Process Flow Chart.

You are encouraged to print these charts, write down the annual review date (the date guardianship was established), and keep these in a familiar place as a reminder of the steps necessary to maintain the subsidized guardianship.
