The Agency View system shows information from the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) and allows Child Support Services (CSS) to view applications completed by applicants. CSS is allowed to update cases, but is only authorized to update the following information:
- Correct identifying information (Name spelling, Dates of Birth, Social Security Numbers, Gender)
- Address information
- Level of service request when verified by the applicant the information does not match his/her request for services
The specific information CSS is prohibited from updating in Agency View includes:
- Household composition
- Choosing a primary care provider
- Any data elements that change the eligibility of the applicant or a member of the household
Be aware that when updating the level of services requested, it is necessary to verify the information with the applicant. The information can only be updated if it does not match the request for services. Always case log any updates and the reason for the update.
