During a temporary verification, are new placements into the home allowed?

• A. Yes, new placements are allowed
• B. No, new placements are not allowed
• C. Only with approval from the receiving CPA
• D. Only for children already in care prior to the move

Answer: (B)

Temporary verification is a transitional phase where the home is being evaluated and has not yet completed the full licensing standards. Because the home hasn’t finished the full verification, new placements aren’t allowed to enter the home during this period. This pause helps ensure every safety check, policy requirement, and capacity issue is reviewed before a new child is placed. Existing placements in the home before this stage can continue, but bringing in someone new would require waiting for full verification or a separate approved process.
