1299 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Narration Case Notes Example 1: Deborah applied for TA-DVS against her abuser, Brad. Brad is her ex-boyfriend. She reported during their relationship there was ongoing verbal abuse and financial abuse. He would control all her income and gave her an allowance. She reported once she left, he threatened physical violence. She has ongoing safety concerns that he will act on his threats and would like to flee. Example 2: Amber is applying for TA-DVS against her abuser, Ryan. Ryan is her boyfriend of two years. Amber reported Ryan has always controlled all the money in the home. Her paycheck is deposited to his account. When she uses the money for even basic needs, he becomes physically violent and has threatened to kill her. She is concerned this will not stop and he will act on his threats. Confidentiality Example 1: Survivor asks for an alias identity because his abuser is the sister of a community partner. The community partner does not have access to our systems. There have not been threats that the community partner will access the survivor’s case. Receiving benefits is not a safety issue. Naming the abuser is the safety concern. ODHS can store the DV case note in a hard file and open the case as normal or case note the DV intake and keep the abuser name in a hard file. Example 2: Survivor asks for an alias identity because she has been tracked in six different states by her abuser. Her abuser works for military and has clearance to see statewide systems. Using her SSN in the last two states is how she was located. She cannot have her information in the system, because he can locate her SSN, then track where her information is being used. This case is approved for Alias Identity. Example 3: The family coach receives a call from Child Welfare, requesting information about wheather an individual on their caseload has ever applied for or received TA-DVS, as there are DV safety concerns present in the home. The family coach recently determined the individual eligible for TA-DVS. The DV information shared by the survivor was concerning, however the family coach did not have contact with the child or the person who abused the child, therefore a mandatory report was not required. The family coach informs Child Welfare that they cannot confirm or deny information related to domestic violence and encourages getting a release of information from the individual to discuss further and reaches out to the inidivudal to offer this option. Subsequent requests Example 1: Karilyn was approved for TA-DVS in January. Her TA-DVS grant was approved from January to March. In February, Karilyn was approved to use $800 for first month’s rent. In March of the following year, Karilyn applied for TA-DVS again. The request would need to be staffed jointly with a DV point, Leadership or TA-DVS Policy because she received payment in the last 12 months, due to the final month of her certification period. Example 2: Kristi came into the office to apply for TA-DVS. Kristi had a TA-DVS case that closed three months ago. Kristi did not receive any payments in the last certification period. This will be the second request for TA-DVS in a 12-month period with no payments issued, therefore the subsequent request process is not needed. Authorized representatives and payees Example 1: Jason comes into the office to apply for TA-DVS and explains he does not have a phone and wants
