Revised 7-1-11 

 

1.  (a) Out-of-town inquiry (OTI) procedures.

(1) When the Abuse and Neglect Hotline or the county office receives an OTI, an Other Workload Request is entered into the KIDS system and assigned within two working days unless the requesting agency requests immediate contact.  If an OTI is received in Children and Family Services Division (CFSD), the request is forwarded to the county where the family resides.

(2) The Child Welfare (CW) worker contacts the family within seven business days or within the time requested by the agency to conduct the interview or assess the situation and offer services, when appropriate.

(3) Within two weeks of the contact with the family a written response is provided to the requesting agency.

(4) The WORD document of the interview or assessment and the written response is saved in the Other Workload Request in KIDS in the File Cabinet.

      (b) Out-of-state court orders or requests for divorce custody home studies.  CW is not required to honor out-of-state orders or requests for divorce custody home studies.  When the Abuse and Neglect Hotline or the county office receives a request, a letter is sent, no later than five business days after receipt of the request, advising that Oklahoma Department of Human Services is not obligated to complete the home study and provides a list of resources or individuals in Oklahoma who conduct divorce custody home studies.
