Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

How soon after disposition or case plan approval occurs the Initial Judicial Review (JR)?

1. 90 days after

2. 30 days after

3. 15 days after

4. 60 days after

The correct answer is: 90 days after

The Initial Judicial Review (JR) is usually scheduled 90 days after disposition or case plan approval, not 30, 15, or 60 days after. This is to allow for sufficient time for the involved parties, such as the court, agency, and caregivers, to gather information needed for the review. Option B is incorrect because 30 days may not provide enough time for all parties to prepare. Option C is incorrect because 15 days is even shorter and may not be enough time to collect and review the necessary information. Option D is incorrect because even though 60 days may seem like a reasonable timeframe, it is not the standard for an Initial Judicial Review.
