Summary
The Informed Foster Youth Act amends the Social Security Act to change case‑plan rules for children in foster care. It obligates states to provide each child’s health and education records to foster parents and, when the child is 14 or older, directly to the child, and to supply a personalized plan that lists housing, health, education, mentorship, and employment options. The law also mandates that children 14+ receive free copies of consumer reports, birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver’s licenses or ID cards, health‑insurance information, and proof of foster‑care status, and must sign an annual acknowledgment of their rights.
