Can individuals who meet the requirements both for the group for former foster care children and the new adult group at 42 CFR 435.119 be enrolled in either group?

No. In accordance with section 1902(a)(10)(G) of the Social Security Act, eligibility under the group for former foster care children takes precedence over eligibility under the new adult group. Thus, individuals who meet the requirements for both of these groups must be enrolled under the group for former foster care children.
