Determine Interdependent Living program eligibility for a youth

You can determine if youth are eligible for Interdependent Living (IL) programs and services. Programs include Custody, DCS Post-Custody, Transitional Living, and SPG/Adoption. The system performs an initial calculation and you can override the result if appropriate. Overrides must be approved by the team leader.

If the youth is eligible for the selected program, you can select services for the youth to receive. Services include educational progress, employment, maintenance of physical and mental health care, and housing opportunities. When you select any services, the system initiates the appropriate service referrals.
