The purpose of this memorandum is to remind you that no new placements of foster children who turn 21 on or after July 1, 1996 in transitional care will be approved due to a change in state law. This was explained more fully in 95-LCM-55, entitled "Chapter 600 of the Laws of 1994 - Transitional Care Services", which was distributed to you on May 11, 1995. It is also to remind you of your responsibilities regarding "Notification and Referral for Handicapped Children in Foster Care Who Require Adult Services After Age 21" as provided for in 86-ADM-18, issued on June 5, 1986.
