FAQs

Social Services Interpreting Questions

Are your social services interpreters bound by confidentiality?

Yes. Every interpreter is bound by a strict confidentiality and code of ethics agreement covering benefits records, CPS case details, and protected health and personal information. Interpreters convey only what is said, never disclose case information outside the appointment, and follow agency and HIPAA-aligned privacy protocols. This protects the families you serve and keeps your agency compliant.

How far in advance do social service agencies need to schedule an interpreter?

Booking ahead gives us the best window to match a trauma-aware interpreter to your appointment, language, and setting. For scheduled benefits, child welfare, or resettlement appointments we confirm coverage within 24 to 48 hours, and same-week availability is common. For walk-ins and unscheduled calls, our phone and video access connects a caseworker to an interpreter in minutes.

Can you translate benefits forms and case documents into other languages?

Yes. Alongside live interpreting, we provide certified document translation for benefit applications, eligibility notices, consent forms, and program materials. This helps agencies and nonprofits meet Title VI written language access obligations for limited English proficiency families.
