6 month Certification periods
 

As a BPS worker for Richmond DSS I encourage this change from 12 month recertification periods to 6 month recerifications with removal of mandatory Interim Reporting due to the high number of cases in our agency closed and or suspended due to non-receipt of the Interim Report. Richmond Virginia currently has the largest caseload statewide. By removing the Interim Report as a requirement our agency will definitely better serve clients within the Richmond city limits due to a reduction in the amount of paperwork necessary to process cases within a timely fashion. This change will also assist surrounding counties such as Henrico and Chesterfield in meeting the needs of its clients in a simillar fashion.
