The New York Notice (Denial or Withdrawal of Application) (Removal of Child) is an official document issued by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OFFS) when a child is removed from their home. This document informs the family of the reasons why the child has been removed, and outlines any additional steps that need to be taken to rectify the situation and have the child returned. Depending on the specific circumstances, there are three types of removal notices that may be issued by the OFFS: 1. Denial or Withdrawal of Application: This notice is issued when an application for adoption or foster care is denied or withdrawn due to factors such as the applicant not meeting the statutory requirements for the placement. 2. Removal of Child: This notice is issued when a child is removed from their home due to a court order or other legal authority. 3. Termination of Parental Rights: This notice is issued when a parent's legal relationship to a child is terminated due to abandonment, abuse, neglect, or other factors. The New York Notice (Denial or Withdrawal of Application) (Removal of Child) outlines the specific reason for the removal, any available alternatives to the removal, and any available services or assistance that can help the family in the situation. It also outlines the procedure for appealing the decision and requesting a hearing.
