PERMANENT RULES
SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(Health and Recovery Services Administration)
Purpose: The department is repealing these sections because the method of purchasing interpreter services on behalf of limited-English speaking or sensory-impaired applicants and clients of public assistance was replaced with a new "brokerage" model for all DSHS programs effective January 2003. Under the brokerage model, DSHS contracts at a specified rate with any qualified individual or agency and contracts with intermediaries who schedule and link interpreters with clients and service providers. Since the broker requirements are now specified in contract, these rules are no longer applicable.
