planning
of
the
department
of

tracking
information
system
concerning

adjudicated

child
in

The

the
data.
The

The

shall
perform
a
review
of
the
feasibility
of

benefits
associated
with
expanding
foster

adoptions
to
be
available
on
a
voluntary
basis
to
young
adults
who
become
age

while

services.
The
purpose
of
the
review
is
to
determine
the
extent
to
which
the
expansion
is
covered
under
the
federal
Fostering
Connections
to
Success
and
Increasing
Adoptions
Act
of
2008,
Pub.
L.
No.

and
would
draw
additional
federal
support
under
the
Title
IV-E
of
the
federal
Social
Security
Act,
allow
the
state
to
expand
the
preparation
for
adult
living
program
to
additional
young
adults,
and
enhance
the
services
and
supports
available
under
the
program.
The
department
shall
engage
national
and
state
experts
in
structuring
such
programs
under
the
federal
fostering
connections
Act
in
addition
to
young
persons
with
experience
in
the
state’s
foster
care
system
in
performing
the
review.
If
the
department
determines
the
expansion
can
be
implemented
within
existing
state
appropriations
and
produces
additional
benefits
for
the
young
adults
who
would
be
served
under
the
expansion,
the
department
may
implement
changes
to
expand
the
availability
of
foster
care,
kinship
guardianships,
and
subsidized
adoptions
for
eligible
young
adults
who
become
age
21.
