Subject:P300 #20899 Add Two (2) Social Work Positions
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of Social Services (CDSS) in an amount not to exceed $538,191.00 for fraud
investigation and program integrity efforts related to the IHSS Program. As part of this
plan $225,000 was allocated for two FTE Social Worker positions. The request for these
two Social Worker positions has been approved by the BOS on 09/21/2010. The
California Department of Social Services will be monitoring reports that EHSD will send
notifying the CDSS of our implementation of this plan and ensuing results. CDSS
expects the money to be used as EHSD has outlined in the plan submitted to CDSS. One
critical component to managing the IHSS Program is to prevent, combat and investigate
IHSS fraud. This BOS approved plan calls for the hiring of additional IHSS Quality
Assurance Positions w/ the funding allocation from the State approved plan.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should this request be denied, the department will lose the funding that is available to
staff an In-Home Supportive Services Fraud Investigations and Program Integrity Unit.
This is vital as it is a critical component to effectively manage, prevent, combat and
investigate IHSS fraud.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The In-Home Supportive Services program exclusively serves Seniors. The Department
anticipates no impact on Children's Services.
