(a) Under the Act, eligible youth are 14 through 21 years of age.
Adults are defined in the Act as individuals age 18 and older. Thus,
individuals ages 18 through 21 may be eligible for both adult and youth
programs.
(b) Eligible individuals who are 18 through 21 years old may
participate in adult and youth programs concurrently. Such individuals
must be eligible under the youth or adult eligibility criteria
applicable to the services received. Local program operators may
determine, for individuals in this age group, the appropriate level and
balance of youth and/or adult services.
(c) Local program operators must identify and track the funding
streams which pay the costs of services provided to individuals who are
participating in youth and adult programs concurrently, and ensure that
services are not duplicated.
