- (1) Children in out-of-home placement on the basis of a signed Voluntary Custody Agreement or Child Placement Agreement, and Title IV-E-FC eligible must, within 180 days of placement, have a judicial determination by court order to the effect that such placement is in the best interests of the child. A finding of reasonable efforts is not required. The judicial determination requirement may be met without a court hearing, e.g. letter to the court which results in an exparte court order. However, if a court hearing does not occur, a CRB review must be held and Permanency Hearings must occur as scheduled.
- (2) Children placed on the basis of a Voluntary Custody Agreement or Child Placement Agreement are subject to the same Administrative Review and Permanency Hearing requirements as children placed on the basis of a court order.
