I – 052 If a foster child has been adopted prior to applying for Head Start is the child considered eligible?
If a child is in foster care at the time the child is being considered for enrollment that child is considered categorically eligible. If, however, that child is no longer in foster care and has, instead, been adopted, the income of the child’s adopted parents should be used in determining if that child is income eligible; i.e. a child from a low-income family.
