Depends on your agency.

Ours came in late Friday night. We had our intake meeting on Tuesday morning where they approved $50 emergency clothing reimbusement for each child (ours were 7,8 and 10).

I had to ask for it though. T came in with only 2 pairs of pants (the long ones he was wearing and 1 pair of shorts, and we'd had a cold spell come in).

Now, what our agency didn't know was this... the county that our kids came from also has a quarterly clothing allowance so when I informed the cwr of the problem with clothes, she gave me the number to the person in charge of the $. She gave me $100 each for the 2 younger and $125 for the eldest, but I couldn't use the $50 from the agency (agency bills the county for the $). I took the county money! Well, sent the receipts in with the correct form to be reimbursed. That took about 3-4 weeks to come back.

Congrats again on the little one! I'm soooo glad you didn't have to wait too long.
