10-OCFS-ADM-10: Title IV-E Foster Care and Adoption to Age 21
The purpose of this Administrative Directive (ADM) is to provide guidance to social services districts (districts) about new requirements regarding Title IV-E foster care and adoption assistance eligibility until age 21, as enacted by the federal Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-351). These provisions become effective on October 1, 2010. In addition, this ADM includes a listing of Eligibility Re-determination Criteria and Documentation Requirements for Foster Children Over the Age of 18 or 19 (see Attachment A), and a new Model Letter (see Attachment B) and Model Certification Form OCFS 7073 (see Attachment C) pertinent to certain hard-to-place adopted children. The Eligibility Manual for Child Welfare Programs will be updated with this information (Chapters 1A and 1B) and a revised Re-determination of Title IV-E Eligibility Checklist (Foster Care) [LDSS 4810] will reflect these changes.
