What to know about phone interpreters at a social services agency
When phone is used
Eligibility interviews are often held by phone, and caseworkers also call clients to follow up, to collect documents or to set the next visit. A call is booked ahead for a set time. The client needs only a phone, with no app and no link. Phone also works for a language that nobody near the agency speaks, because the interpreter dials in from wherever they work.
Who is on the line
A caseworker or an eligibility worker places the call. The client or the parent answers, and at a counseling check-in a counselor takes the caseworker's place. A family member can join if they are on the phone as well. The interpreter dials in, so everyone hears each other over one line.

The interpreter's role
Over the phone, the interpreter's job is to give the client the whole call, not a short version of it. The interpreter waits until the caseworker has finished a part, then interprets all of it, and brings the client's reply back the same way. The interpreter stays neutral, keeps the call confidential, and does not give advice or explain the agency's decisions.
On a call
CaseworkerInterpretedClient repliesInterpreted
Before the call
Each confirmation includes the dial-in number and the access code. Nothing can be shown on a call, so a form the client has to fill in must reach them before the call, or the caseworker reads it out. A call that may run long needs a longer booking, because the interpreter is reserved for the booked time and no more.
On-site, video or phone
Choosing between phone, video and on-site for social services
Phone reaches a client wherever they are, but nobody can see a form or a room. Choose by what the meeting needs.
On-site
Send an interpreter to the home or the office when the caseworker needs to be in the room with the family.
On-Site Interpretation for Social Services Agencies
Video (VRI)
Video fits a family team meeting or a counseling session, where several people or a shared screen are involved.
Video-Remote Interpretation for Social Services AgenciesPhone (OPI)
Phone fits eligibility interviews, check-ins and scheduling, when the client needs to be reached and nothing has to be shown.

Questions from social services agencies about phone interpreters
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01What should the client know before the call?
The booked time, the dial-in number and the access code, and that an interpreter will be on the line. The caseworker passes these on when the call is set up.
02Can the interpreter add a relative to the call?
Yes. A relative can be added as a third party once everyone is on the line.
03Can we ask for the same interpreter for a client's calls?
Name the interpreter in the booking notes. We book the service rather than a particular person, so we take the request into account and assign them when they are available.
04Is a family team meeting better by phone or by video?
Video is better, because several people speak and plans or forms are often shown on screen. Phone suits one caseworker talking to one client. A call that turns out to need video can be changed to a video session, subject to the interpreter's availability.
05How is a check-in call priced?
Time booked sets the price, and the total shows before you pay. A check-in that ends early is not refunded for the unused time, because the interpreter is reserved for the whole booking.
06Which languages can a caseworker book by phone?
70 languages. Spanish, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese and Russian are the easiest to schedule by phone. Languages such as Burmese or Pashto are rare and need more notice.
07Are your Georgian interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Georgian interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
