Can I provide care to youth enrolled in the extended foster care (EFC) program?
You can serve youth enrolled in the EFC program if you meet the requirements in WAC 110-90-0010 through 110-90-0200. The youth enrolled and participating in the EFC program are considered children only for the purposes of the dependency. Otherwise the youth has the legal status and legal rights of an adult. The youth is responsible for their actions, including:
(1) Purchases;
(2) Driving;
(3) Traveling; or
(4) Financial obligations.
