When temporary orders end prior to the maximum period permitted by statute, does another court order need to be obtained for the child to remain eligible for Title IV-E?
Answer 3: Yes. Another court order needs to be obtained to avoid any lapse in legal authority or a late permanency hearing. If there is a lapse in legal authority or a late permanency hearing, the child loses eligibility after the last day of the month in which the order expires. Once a new court order is obtained, eligibility can resume on the first day of the month in which the order is issued. This should not be an issue for Article 10 (abuse/neglect), voluntary placement or cases involving completely freed children because of the continuing jurisdiction provisions of Article 10-A of the FCA but could occur in Article 3 (JD) and Article 7 (PINS) cases.
