What is the required timeframe for a case plan submission if a child has been removed?

Within 30 days
Within 90 days
Within 60 days
Within 120 days

The correct answer is: Within 90 days

The timeframe for case plan submission following the removal of a child is established by federal legislation, particularly the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA). According to ASFA, a case plan must be submitted within 60 days of the child’s removal from their home. This requirement emphasizes the importance of timely planning in the best interest of the child, ensuring that necessary interventions, services, and supports are promptly identified and implemented to promote the child’s well-being and stability. The selection of a 90-day timeframe would imply a more extended period that may not align with the urgent needs of child welfare cases, where rapid assessments and planning are crucial for minimizing trauma and facilitating permanence for the child.
