New York, adoption living expense ?

Question

New York

Birth Parent Expenses Allowed Statute: Soc. Serv. § 374(6)

• Reasonable and actual nursing, medical, and hospital costs

• Reasonable and actual legal fees

• Reasonable expenses for housing, maternity clothing, clothing for the child, and transportation

Birth Parent Expenses Not Allowed Statute: Soc. Serv. § 374(6)

Payment of living expenses shall not extend for 60 days prior to the birth, and 30 days after the birth, unless the court determines that there are exceptional circumstances.

I was wondering what exactly "Payment of living expenses shall not extend for 60 days prior to the birth, and 30 days after the birth" meant, like does it mean you can only receive living expenses 60 days before you give birth n 30 days after?

Answer 1

I'm thinking that's what it means.

If you're pregnant - and unsure of which what to head - please make sure you know your rights - and make sure you read this -
