Claiming Information for MI

The department has been taking necessary steps to begin claiming for services. These efforts are outlined in an FFPSA status update. The department is pleased to announce the beginning of claiming for services, Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Parents as Teachers (PAT), in October 2024.

As workers complete Motivational Interviewing (MI) Training and become certified a checklist will be sent to them with next steps. If a worker will be working with prevention services candidates and claiming for MI, they must complete Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) Motivational Interviewing (MI) Claiming Training prior to entering claims into SSIS. Supervisors and fiscal staff are also encouraged to complete this training to help support staff who will be claiming for MI with families. Once the training is completed an attestation form must be completed. This form is linked here: SSIS Training for Claiming Motivational Interviewing Attestation.
