Mandated reporters must file a written report within how many working days or hours after receiving information?

Mandated reporters are required to act quickly to document suspected abuse. The written report must be filed within two working days or within 36 hours after receiving the information. This dual phrasing covers different ways agencies count time: two working days accounts for weekends and holidays, while 36 hours provides a continuous clock. So if you learn of a concern on Monday, the written report should be in by roughly mid‑week under either measure. The other options fall outside the mandated window, delaying documentation.
