Identifying LEP Needs at Intake – When a person makes a report to Mississippi

Identifying LEP Needs at Intake – When a person makes a report to Mississippi Centralized Intake (MCI) and is identified as an LEP person, MDCPS will utilize an on-call list of interpreters to assist the LEP person, documenting the need for LEP services and notifying the appropriate county of such need. At the time a report is made, MDCPS will inquire if anyone in the reported household requires interpreter services, attempt to determine the primary language if applicable, and notify the appropriate county of such needed LEP services.
