Fiscal Detail and Notes
Additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.  The bill's provisions to allow persons 19, 20, or 21 years of age to continue in care if they were in care at the age of 18 could result in the State claiming federal funds under Title IV-E  for these services.  The amount of this claim and any savings to the State cannot be determined at this time.
