Summary
This bill amends the John H. Chaffee Foster Care Program to expand education and workforce support for youth who have experienced foster care. It lowers the age of eligibility from 16 to 14, increases the maximum education and training voucher from $5,000 to $12,000, extends the program participation period from 5 to 6 years for youth in remedial education, and adds new eligible uses including registered apprenticeships, GED preparation, and remedial education. The bill also requires states to improve awareness and accessibility of vouchers through simplified application forms and outreach efforts.
