If the Placement Review of Findings does not overturn a finding, the caseworker generally does not place the child unless an exception is met.
A caseworker must never place a child in a home if there is an open CPS investigation or CPS is providing family-based safety services (FBSS), family substitute care stage (FSU), substitute care (SUB), or family reunification stage (FRE) to the potential kin caregiver.
Exceptions to this limitation are:
• a sibling placement with a parent who is not the biological parent of both siblings; and
• family reunification with the parent of one sibling when siblings are placed together.
