Alaska has specialized rates in its foster care program that allows specialized rates in the subsidy program. The augmentation for Specialized Foster Care is $7.50/day, and for Structured Foster Care is $15/day. However, subsidies cannot exceed the amount the child would have received in foster care.

There are additional special rates for the medically fragile—includes children with physical and mental health disabilities.
