Department Policy. The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) developed Administrative Policy 7.01, American Indian Policy, that outlines DSHS’ commitment to planning and service delivery to tribes and tribal communities. Administrations partner with tribes to develop yearly plans that address communication, consultation, budgets, policies, and operational procedures to ensure programs and services are culturally relevant. LEGISLATION. In 1997, DCS assisted in drafting tribal-specific state legislation: Cooperative Child Support Services with Indian Tribes (RCW 26.25). The legislation recognizes the sovereign relationship between the state and tribes, supports tribes operating IV-D programs, and encourages state/tribal cooperative agreements. It recognizes that the preferred method for handling cases where parties are tribal members living on the reservation, is to refer appropriate cases to tribal court.

DCS developed and presented one-day child support workshops for tribes (judges, attorneys, council members, and department and court staff). In 1992 DCS established a State/Tribal/Federal Child Support Work Group comprised of representatives from tribal, state and federal governments. They met quarterly to develop and strengthen relationships, build trust, share information, seek input, discuss issues and brainstorm possible solutions. Early on, DCS recognized the need to develop tribal-specific child support policy, procedures and forms. Policies included: giving full faith and credit to tribal orders; refraining from sending wage garnishments to tribes and their enterprises; correcting orders and debts based on inaccurate information, providing child support services for tribal TANF programs; and coordinating services with tribal IV-D programs. DCS has over 120 pages of tribal-specific policy. Based on Tribal recommendations, DCS centralized tribal cases in seven (7) DCS field offices and appointed tribal liaisons in each office to: manage the cases, provide outreach services to tribes, serve as a local contact for tribes, develop relationships with tribes, and serve as a local contact for DCS HQ. With the AG’s approval, DCS assigned t...
