What the record covers
CDSS describes extended foster care for eligible nonminor dependents up to age 21 and participation requirements. Review school, employment, employment-barrier or medical-condition pathways with the responsible county team; re-entry may be possible before age 21.
Make the next question specific.
Who is responsible for the transition plan, placement options and a re-entry request?
Court status, prior placement and participation criteria matter. This is not a guarantee of housing or benefits for every former foster youth.
