An SIL placement ends when the young adult:

  • Leaves one DFPS SIL provider for another SIL provider.
  • Returns to a traditional Extended Foster Care placement.
  • Leaves care and starts a trial independence period (or independence period, if age 21).
  • Is no longer eligible for Extended Foster Care.

All SIL discharges must be planned, with sufficient time to prepare for the discharge. Unplanned discharges are considered emergency SIL discharges. The SIL provider and caseworker must take all reasonable steps to prevent emergency discharges.

In the Extended Foster Care Resource Guide see Ongoing Caseworker Duties During SIL Placement, Discharges from the SIL Program.
