Section 12. Duration Of Service Delivery

IHS case interventions are provided for a maximum of 180 days, unless the IHS practitioner requests the county office manager grant a 45 day extension. The IHS practitioner documents that an extension of services would assist the family in achievement of goals, reduce the risk of recurrent abuse or neglect, and ensure the child is safe, conditionally safe. No more than three 45 day extensions will be granted.
