OAR 413-053-0050: Exception to CPS Assessment Closure: Other Admin-Only Cases

(1) The only services the Department may provide for an other admin-only case are SPRF services. (2) An other admin-only case that is open after a CPS assessment may remain open for up to 90 days to provide SPRF services, with the option of one 90-day extension. An extension must be approved by the district manager, program manager or designee. (3) If the family continues to need services in an other admin-only case, Department responsibilities are limited to: (a) Entering and ending services; (b) Validating invoices for services; (c) Requesting and approving extensions; and (d) Case closure. (4) If, at the end of an assessment, the child is determined to be safe and the family has moderate to high needs, the Department may offer the family a strengths and needs assessment. If, because of the strengths and needs assessment, services are recommended and available, the Department may refer the family to SPRF services. (5) When the other admin-only case closes, the Department must immediately close all SPRF services and notify each provider that the service has closed.
