DISCUSSION:

The purpose of this memorandum is to introduce the revised SS-60 and the new form, Private Agency Codes, RPU-33.  

The SS-60 is utilized to track application information for Unclassified Vendors, UN, Medical/Mental Facility Vendors, MM, and Transitional Living Group Homes and Scattered Sites that are not contracted with the Children Division, TL.  

The UN vendors are only opened by the Central Office Payment Unit.  The MM and TL vendors are only opened by Central Office staff.  

References to completion of the SS-60 for vendors other than MM, TL, and UN have been removed from the Child Welfare Manual.  

The RPU-33 lists private agency codes. The list of private agency codes was located on the now obsolete SS-60 code sheet.  Questions regarding private agency codes should be submitted to the Central Office Residential Program Unit, Fred Proebsting, state supervisor.
