- What the lawyer must review
- 42 U.S.C. § 675(5)(B) requires the child's status to be reviewed at least every six months by a court or by administrative review, including safety, whether the placement is still necessary and appropriate, and compliance with the case plan. An administrative review under § 675(6) is open to the parents, and at least one panel member is not responsible for case management or service delivery. Section 675(5)(C) requires a permanency hearing no later than 12 months after the child is considered to have entered foster care, and at least every 12 months after that. 42 U.S.C. § 671(a)(16) requires the state plan to provide that system.
