Users have noted that when they discontinue a FC case by end-dating the Other Program Assistance page, the Aid Code on the EDBC summary page changes from Foster Care (FCM) to Aged Out Foster Care (AGO). This is incorrect.
When a FC case for a youth 18 years or older is discontinued, KEES looks to see if they are eligible for Aged Out Medical. The system looks to see if the youth had an Other Program Assistance (OPA) type of Foster Care during the month they turned 18. KEES does not consider if the required application was submitted.
To discontinue a youth 18 or over for foster care, the user must first end-date the OPA page AND take Negative Action on the case using the reason ‘Voluntary Withdrawal’. This ensures the foster care medical program is closed. The Clearinghouse will process the case for Aged Out Foster Care if the youth submits the required application.
