| What the lawyer must review | You judge whether the plan meets the state statute and the Title IV-E conditions. Section 675(5) requires periodic review at least every six months and a permanency hearing no later than 12 months after the child is considered to have entered foster care. Section 671(a)(15) requires reasonable efforts, with the child's health and safety as the paramount concern. The state defines the services. |
