Clothing Inventory

For children initially placed in out-of-home care that do not have a complete inventory of clothes, the following guidelines are provided as average monthly amounts. 

  • If a child has 75% of sufficient clothing, the parent/caregiver has six months to purchase the clothing to bring them to 100%.
  • If the child has 50% of sufficient clothing, the parent/caregiver has four months to purchase the clothing to bring them to 100%. 
  • If the child has less than 50% of sufficient clothing, the parent/caregiver has two months to purchase the clothing to bring them to 100%.
