The age of majority (or maximum age for a child) is controlled by the Maturity Age rate table. This table defines the age up to which a person is considered as a child in CCS. The maturity age (also known as the age of attrition or the age of maturity) is an important factor during the management of a participant in a CCS. For example, in child welfare, a child can be removed from his or her home and maintained by the organization in an out-of-home setting until he/she reaches the age of maturity. The maturity age can be different for various jurisdictions. CCS provides the ability to define the age when a person is considered an adult (the ADULT age) as well as (for the United States' IV-E eligibility rules) the age of exception (EXTENDED AGE) for rules processing.
