Increasing Access to Foster Care Through Age 21 Act

HR 7010 would allow states to extend foster care support until age 21 for eligible youth. It amends the Social Security Act to let states include youth aged 18-21 in foster care if they were in care before age 16 under adoption or kinship guardianship agreements. States must permit youth who meet these criteria to voluntarily re-enter foster care if they left it after age 18. The bill directly affects foster youth transitioning from care, aiming to provide continued support through age 21.
