102-6           INTERVIEWS IN REMOTE AREAS

Those households residing in remote areas of Alaska where a caseworker or Fee Agent is not available to meet the program’s interview requirement may meet the requirement with a telephone interview.  The caseworker must document the circumstances and the eligibility decision in the case record.  Such documentation and resulting eligibility decisions should be re-examined if a DPA Division of Public Assistance staff member visits the community in which the household resides.
