Petition Extension Of Placement And Permanency Hearing {3-38}

Form 3-38 - PETITION FOR EXTENSION OF PLACEMENT AND PERMANENCY HEARING. This form is used in New York Family Court to request both an extension of placement for a juvenile delinquent and a permanency hearing. Filed by the Commissioner of the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) or a local social services commissioner, the petition ensures continued court oversight of a youth’s placement and permanency plan. The form includes the respondent’s adjudication and placement details, identifies responsible parties, and outlines the reasons continued placement is in the youth’s best interests. It requires information on reasonable efforts toward reunification, permanency goals (such as reunification, adoption, guardianship, or APPLA), and progress reports. For youth in Qualified Residential Treatment Programs (QRTPs), the petition must include assessments and justification for continued placement. Additionally, it documents visitation plans, services provided, and any pending termination of parental rights actions. The petition must be filed at least 60 days before the hearing completion deadline. F.C.A. §355.3, 355.5; S.S.L.§§393, 409-h. www.FormsWorkflow.com
