Eligibility

Serves youth ages 14 - 23 who are currently or were previously in foster care for at least 30 consecutive days after age 14. - Youth must be placed as a result of a court order or voluntary placement agreement. A youth who has run away from an out-of-home placement is considered in placement until the social service agency no longer has legal responsibility (i.e., discharged by the court). Youth placed by a county or tribal social service agency in chemical dependency treatment facilities, not based in a hospital, is considered to be in out-of-home placement. Youth who are adjudicated delinquent and court-ordered to a non-secure facility may be considered in out-of-home placement if: - The local social service agency has custody and responsibility for placement - There is a Title IV-E agreement between the local social service agency and juvenile corrections, or the local social service agency is in an umbrella county - All placements must be entered in SSIS to demonstrate eligibility. Note: Temporary locations providing services to youth that are not considered a placement include respite care, visitation, summer camp, secure detention/correctional facilities, hospital/medical care, hospital-based chemical dependency treatment and psychiatric units, state regional treatment centers, and intermediate care facilities for those with developmental disabilities.
