About this resource
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires states to provide young adults under 26 with free health insurance (Cover til 26) if they were in foster care at age 18 or older. This ensures that former foster youth can access the health care services they need.
Eligibility
You may be eligible for HealthCareFFY if under the age of 26 and was in foster care on or after your 18th birthday.
