Diary the federal date a child is treated as having entered foster care
Key facts

- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the dates supplied, list the first judicial finding of abuse or neglect and the date 60 days after removal, and mark the earlier date.
- What the lawyer must review
- 42 U.S.C. § 675(5)(F) treats the child as having entered foster care on the earlier of the first judicial finding of abuse or neglect, or 60 days after removal. The 12-month permanency hearing in § 675(5)(C) runs from that date. 42 U.S.C. § 671(a)(16) requires the state plan to provide that case review system. This is not a deadline for filing after an emergency removal. That deadline is state law.
