Q & A Parking lot
What should I do before issuing a transmittal or RSA?
•Check for Related Service(s) on IEP
•Check SEC (student service receipt report; related services for school
age in public school) for status
•Ensure parental consent is documented in CAP and/ or student is
authorized to appropriate site
•Identify and/ or obtain DOE provider through related services supervisor
•Ensure caseload is assigned to provider
If there is no provider assigned to case(s)
•Change status in CAP to reflect ACO (Awaiting Contracting Out).
•Note: 24 Hours must elapse before SEC is updated
•Second Note: Paraprofessionals are assigned through Galaxy
Making Connections with the SOPM
•A DOE provider is assigned to the (case) caseload within 2 days
of parent consent to the Final Notice of Recommendation
•For continuing students or students deferred for September
placement, a DOE provider is assigned within 2 days of the start of
the school year in September
•If a provider is not available, the CFN will generate a transmittal
(using SEC RSA) to an agency under contract with the DOE
•If the DOE is unable to locate a related service provider within an
additional 13 days (15 days total), the CFN issues a Related
Service Authorization Letter (RSA) to the parent.
•The parent is provided with information on available providers and
instructions regarding how to invoke the RSA
(SOPM page 128)

Multiple Students to be Contracted Out
Agencies Under Contract vs. RSA
•DOE protocol requires that an agency under
contract has priority over and independent
agency or RSA provider
•The agency has 5 days to accept a particular
school assignment
•CFN can assign the case(s) to a second
agency under contract after the first 5 days
have elapsed
•Only after these attempts are made can an
RSA be created

Providers Must Use the Interactive Voice Response
(IVR) System to Record the First Attend Date and
Maintain an Attendance Booklet
•The first attendance reporting system allows service providers to report
the first attend (start) date for the delivery of related services, SETSS,
and ESL. For step-by-step procedures using IVR, refer to the updated
document “Updated IVR Procedures” (08/27/09)
•The telephone number to record the first attend date is 718-596-4080
