| What the lawyer must review | 42 U.S.C. § 675(5)(H) requires that, during the 90 days before the child turns 18 or a greater age the state elects, a caseworker help the child develop a transition plan personalized at the child's direction. The plan includes specific options on housing, health insurance, education, mentors and continuing support, and workforce supports and employment services, and information about designating a health-care decision-maker, with the option to execute a health-care power of attorney or similar document recognized under state law, as detailed as the child elects. 42 U.S.C. § 671(a)(16) requires the state to provide the case review system defined in § 675. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the youth's age, the date they reach 18 or any older age the lawyer says the state has elected, and which of housing, health cover, education, mentors and work supports the draft plan mentions.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The older age is a state election. Do not assume 18. The same section also addresses documents provided on leaving care. Open that paragraph before you say a document is missing.
