State subsidies may be one-time, time-limited, or long term, depending on the circumstances of the family and the child's needs. Medical, dental, psychological, and long-term maintenance subsidies continue until age 18 or until age 21 if the state has determined that the child has a mental or physical handicap which warrants continuing assistance. All state subsidy agreements are reviewed annually for continued eligibility (Utah Administrative Code R537-43.2 (1993).
