32 Miss. Code. R. 21-2-2.4

Current through October 10, 2024
Section 32-21-2-2.4 - Case Folder As An Official Document

The case folder in the local district office is considered to be the legal record of the case and should be treated as such by all vocational rehabilitation personnel.

All materials must be legible and written in ink or typed. Documentation presented in the case record must be initialed or signed by the individual responsible. Any form that is initiated or completed by any Agency personnel must be signed and dated. All bills are to be initialed by the counselor. Case materials should be fastened in the folder in an orderly manner.

Information is not to be given out indiscriminately, but must follow guidelines as set forth in the Confidentiality section of this manual (Section 3.0).

Records are to be secured where any unauthorized parties may not gain access to or abstract information from them. If the counselor needs to take the case record out of the office, it should be signed out so anyone needing access to information from the file will know where it is.
