Can I collect age information from participants in Florida? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context documents, here is the response to your query:

Collecting Age Information in Florida

There are no specific requirements in Florida law that prohibit collecting age information from participants. However, it is important to ensure that any collection of age information complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

Under the Florida Kidcare program, personal identifying information, including age, is confidential and exempt from public records under FLCL 409.821. However, the exemption does not prohibit an enrollee’s legal guardian from obtaining confirmation of coverage, dates of coverage, the name of the enrollee’s health plan, and the amount of premium being paid [1.1].

Regarding eligibility for the Florida Domestic Violence Program, a person who is a victim of domestic violence and is relocating to Florida may apply for enrollment and is subject to the same eligibility criteria as Florida residents [3.1].

For eligibility in the Florida Kidcare program, a child who has not reached 19 years of age is eligible for the program if their family income is equal to or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level [1.2].

Therefore, while age information is confidential under the Florida Kidcare program, it is necessary to determine eligibility for the program. Additionally, age information may be collected for eligibility in the Florida Domestic Violence Program.

Housing Exemptions for Older Persons

Florida law provides exemptions for housing intended for and solely occupied by persons 55 years of age or older or 62 years of age or older [2.1][2.2]. These exemptions allow for the exclusion of familial status discrimination laws for such housing. However, it is important to note that these exemptions do not allow for discrimination based on other protected characteristics, such as race or disability.
