APA WF 26-10 Justice-Involved Youth Reentry
The proposed rule revisions implement Section 5121 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. The amendment requires states to provide certain Medicaid-covered services to eligible justice-involved youth under age 21, and former foster care youth up to age 26, during the 30 days prior to release from incarceration. Required services include physical and behavioral health screenings and diagnostic services, as well as targeted case management provided 30 days prior to release and 30 days post-release. Planning efforts and services will be coordinated in partnership with the Office of Juvenile Affairs, Department of Corrections, Department of Human Services, and Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
