ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE

Overview

RULE:

65C-42.002	Postsecondary Education Services and Support
65C-42.003	Aftercare Services
65C-42.004	Appeals

PURPOSE:

In 2013, the Florida Legislature substantially amended section 409.1454, F.S., Independent Living Transition Services, by deleting the title of the statute, as well as all of the language contained therein. The statute was renamed The Road-to-Independence Program.  As components of the program, the legislature created Postsecondary Education Services and Support and Aftercare Services.  These changes necessitate new rule development.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Children and Families intends to implement section 409.1451, F.S.,  in Rule 65C-42, F.A.C., Road to Independence Program.  The new rule will provide definitions of relevant terms; establish application processes for Postsecondary Services and Support and Aftercare Services; and provide an appeal procedure for young adults determined to no longer be eligible for, or denied entry into, either of the programs.
