ALERT! Effective Immediately, Discontinue SOR III Follow-Up Completion

*This alert is for CSBs/Agencies that were involved in SOR III and are transitioning clients into SOR IV*

We are sharing an important update regarding the client GPRA transition process from SOR III to SOR IV. SAMHSA has clarified their guidance:

Effective immediately, you are no longer required to complete any pending SOR III follow-ups. Instead, please continue conducting SOR IV GPRA intake interviews for clients currently receiving services including for those who transitioned from SOR III to SOR IV. These intake interviews may be completed immediately, and you may disregard the SOR III follow-up window timeline completely.

The SOR III to SOR IV GPRA Transition Tracking Sheet in your Dropbox folder will be removed by the end of the day. If you are still completing administrative discharges to close out SOR III clients, please continue to refer to your CSB/Agency’s SOR III FINAL tracking sheet.

Thank you for your continued dedication and adaptability as we move into this next phase. If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at SORSupport@omni.org.
