004.03 TEMPORARY ABSENCE DUE TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.

In emergency situations which deprive a child of the care of a parent relative, guardian, or conservator, temporary plans may be made to care for the child in the home of an individual or institution acting in the place of the caretaker. The unit may continue to receive assistance for the period of the emergency or the time actually required to make new arrangements for care, but the assistance must not continue beyond three months.
