I feel that Interim Reports are a waste of the worker's time.  We spend more time sending the Interims back ond forth between worker & client and on the phone with the client ,explaining how to complete the report.  Local agencies are struggling for money/supplies, but yet, we are required to waste the supplies and money for postage that we don't have to process the Interims. 

I would rather go back to six months Recerts. At least then, we can see them face to face and get all the information completed at once without delaying the process and without having to send request after request to get a "completed" Interim.  Six month Recerts can potentially save localities a lot of money just by cutting down on the forms, envelopes, & postage that is required to send the Interims back & forth between worker & client.  I'm sure it could reduce the friction that client's obtain when we have to send them back multiple times to get a fully completed report.
