Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 853.120 - Interpreters
a) A beneficiary
may request an interpreter or the Disability Hearing Division will determine
the need for an interpreter through contact with the beneficiary, the
beneficiary's representative or the SSA district office. An interpreter will be
used in those situations where the beneficiary is hearing impaired or does not
speak English well enough to communicate and understand the issues of the
hearing.
b) Interpreters must be
able to translate technical medical technology and concepts.
c) The beneficiary can provide his/her own
interpreter or can request the Disability Hearing Division to provide an
interpreter.
d) If the beneficiary
provides his/her own interpreter and the Supervising Hearing Officer determines
that the interpreter is unqualified (e.g., a young child), the Disability
Hearing Division will make arrangements to have another interpreter present.
The Disability Hearing Division will inform the beneficiary that arrangements
have been made to have an interpreter at the hearing and will advise the
beneficiary that although it will not be necessary to bring his/her own
interpreter, he/she can do so.
e)
The Disability Hearing Division will reimburse interpreters pursuant to 89 Ill.
Adm. Code 545: Ratemaking and 44 Ill. Adm. Code 1175: Purchasing when:
1) the interpreter requests payment for
services,
2) the need for an
interpreter has been satisfied according to subsection (a) of this Section,
and
3) the interpreter is deemed
qualified according to subsections (b) and (d) of this Section.
