Does the form need to be updated when children are placed in the home after the home’s initial approval?
It depends on who has current custody of the child. A child is in the legal custody of the county children and youth office until finalization. The CY 131 should be completed as an update before finalization occurs. If the children placed in the home are under 18 years and still in the custody of the county children and youth agency, those children should not be listed as household members. If a child has been adopted by the family and thus is no longer in the custody of the county agency, they must be added as household members.
