Social Services Random Moment Time Study

The Social Services Random Moment Time Study (SS RMTS) is a federally approved method used to accurately determine proportions of service worker time spent providing certain services to particular groups of clients. The SS RMTS is used to identify the proportions of such service time devoted to foster care and preventing foster care activities eligible for federal reimbursement. SS RMTS was developed according to federal requirements and has been approved by the federal government as meeting those requirements.
