Youth in Foster Care often transition out of care without a working knowledge of credit and experience a higher rate of errors on their credit report. The Federal Credit Check mandate, a federal law, mitigates this by requiring child welfare agencies (CWAs) to provide youth in foster care with credit reports and address any identified credit inaccuracies starting at the age of 14. With support from Experian, CBA created a website to illuminate this issue, how to comply with the law, and how to resolve errors on a report. Join CBA as we unveil our new Foster Credit Check website, and give more context to the situation at hand at our public webinar on May 18th.

Pulling credit reports and scores is an important component of many credit building programs. Join CBA for our April webinar where Elaine Cozart demystifies FICO® scores and highlights the benefits of enrolling in the free FICO® Score Open Access for Credit and Financial Counseling Program.

Join us to preview CBA's new toolkit about supporting youth and credit building and hear from those involved in its creation.
