How does a youth demonstrate the inability to participate in extended foster care (EFC) activities due to a documented medical condition?

(1) To demonstrate the inability to participate in EFC activities due to a documented medical condition defined in WAC 110-90-0090, a youth must notify the caseworker of the medical condition and provide to the department of children, youth, and families written documentation or consent to obtain documentation from a licensed health care provider. The documentation of the medical condition must describe how the medical condition prevents the youth, either temporarily or permanently, from:
(a) Completing a high school diploma or high school equivalency certificate;
(b) Completing a post-secondary academic or vocational program;
(c) Participating in a program or activity designed to promote employment or remove barriers to employment; or
(d) Being employed for eighty hours or more per month.
(2) If a medical condition prevents a youth from notifying the caseworker or obtaining or providing documentation of the medical condition, the youth must notify the caseworker as soon as they are reasonably able.
(3) If the youth's medical condition temporarily prevents them from engaging in EFC activities, the youth will provide the caseworker with updated documentation from the licensed health care provider regarding the youth's ability to engage in EFC activities during the monthly health and safety visit.
(4) The youth may give the department of children, youth, and families consent to contact the licensed health care provider directly to determine the impact of the youth's documented medical condition or their ability to engage in EFC activities.
