Technical Changes ‘Transferred Offender’ option removed from traditional RFRI’s Receiving State can only request RI’s for return- other options no longer available Criminal Case info removed from process Return address/employment can be ‘unknown’ Ensure CCN’s are sent when offender departs! Submission of NOA changes the primary address to ‘NULL’-SS can update if needed If address NULLS prior to CCN created, SS may need to enter a primary address. SS’s can stay on top of this by ensuring the CCN is in workflow prior to sending NOA
