# §1356.81. Reporting population.


The reporting population is comprised of all youth in the following categories:

- (a) **Served population.** Each youth who receives an independent living service paid for or provided by the State agency during the reporting period.
- (b) **Baseline population.** Each youth who is in foster care as defined in [45 CFR 1355.20](/cfr/45/1355.20.md) and reaches his or her 17th birthday during Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2011, and such youth who reach a 17th birthday during every third year thereafter.
- (c) **Follow-up population.** Each youth who reaches his or her 19th or 21st birthday in a Federal fiscal year and had participated in data collection as part of the baseline population, as specified in [section 1356.82(a)(2)](/cfr/45/1356.82.md?p=a-2) of this part. A youth has participated in the outcomes data collection if the State agency reports to ACF a valid response (i.e., a response option other than “declined” and “not applicable”) to any of the outcomes-related elements described in [section 1356.83(g)(37) through (g)(58)](/cfr/45/1356.83.md?p=g-37..g-58) of this part.
