Subject:Add Three Public Authority Senior Benefit Clerks positions for the IHSS-PA
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
out informing notices and forms to approximately 7,000 providers; the forms had to be returned by December 15,
2014. Senior Benefits Clerks will be responsible for entering approximately 7,000 California Department of
Social Services forms into Case Management, Information and Pay Rolling System (CMIPS). In addition, Senior
Benefits Clerks will be responsible for reviewing, approving and entering the provider's travel time into the
CMIPS system, and sending and processing additional FLSA required forms received from recipients and
providers.
In implementation of FLSA regulations governing IHSS providers overtime and travel time, will increase the
current workload of Senior Benefits Clerks, as new recipients and providers come into the IHSS system requiring
education on the FLSA rules.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should these clerical positions not be approved, the Public Authority will be out of compliance with CDSS
instructions on SB855 and SB873 which govern the implementation of the FLSA rules. Delays in processing
forms would delay the payment to providers for services rendered, thus placing the recipients’ care in jeopardy.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
