To provide an incentive for States to extend child welfare support and services for youth through 21 years of age, and to allow youth to re-enter foster care after attaining 18 years of age, both without regard to the AFDC eligibility of their parents or legal guardians, and for other purposes.

This bill would encourage states to continue providing child welfare support and services for young people until they turn 21 years old, and would let young people go back into foster care after turning 18. These changes would apply regardless of whether the young person's parents or legal guardians qualify for a federal welfare program called AFDC. No official summary is available for this bill.
