A young adult who was in DFPS managing conservatorship when turning 18 and leaves care will have a trial independence period for at least six months. The young adult may return for Extended Foster Care at any time prior to the month before the young adult’s 21st birthday, provided the young adult meets the requirements in 10420 Qualifying for Extended Foster Care.

Questions about trial independence and return for Extended Foster Care may be directed to PAL staff or the regional re-entry staff for the region.
