In this guide, the collaborating organizations have answered a number of questions posed to them by persons interested in implementing the new act. The Guide is intended to be useful to those charged with implementing the improvements for children being raised by grandparents and other relatives, as well as others who are advocating for the new improvements and assisting with implementation.  Download athttp://www.clasp.org/publications/NewHelpForChildrenRaisedByGrandparentsAndOtherRelatives.pdf
