Anytime a youth moves placements, a K2I Coordinator must be contacted. If a youth moves to different out of home placement, they are still eligible for the program, but must submit a new Participant Roles & Responsibilities Agreement signed with the appropriate caregiver. A K2I Coordinator will work with the youth and their new caregiver to transition insurance coverage, if applicable. If the youth is not covered by a policy during the transition, the youth should stop driving during this period.

If a youth’s status changes and they are no longer in out of home care, they are no longer eligible for the program or may be eligible for a limited time period of up to six months, contact your K2I Coordinator.

If a placement or status change occurs in a period for which insurance has already been reimbursed, the prorated insurance premium must be returned to the Keys to Independence Program. Contact a K2I Coordinator to discuss a reasonable timeline; insurance companies will reimburse the policyholder for the prorated amount effective the date a youth is removed from a policy. Once received by the policyholder, the funds should be repaid to the program. Each youth and caregiver is required to agree during the application process to notify the program in the case of such an event. Both are individually responsible to make this notification. Quality control checks of each participant will be conducted randomly to confirm placement status.
