What’s in it
This bill relates to aftercare service program eligibility and benefits. The aftercare service program was established to assist persons who are leaving foster care and other court-ordered services in making the transition to self-sufficiency. Under current law, a person must be 18, 19, 20, 21, or years of age to be eligible for the aftercare service program. The bill changes the age requirement for the aftercare service program so persons years of age and under are eligible for the program.35 (when state to pay foster care costs), services at a state training school, services at a juvenile shelter care home, services at a juvenile detention home, or court-ordered care in accordance with Code chapter 232 (juvenile justice) by a relative or another person with a significant relationship with the person.
