BACKGROUND:

The Department requests to add two Sr Social Service Information System Analyst positions and to cancel two Administrative Services Asst. III positions 11267 and 11268 in the CAlWIN Information and Technology Division of EHSD. CalWIN is a client baed, on-line, real-time update, automated eligibility determination, benefit caluculation, and management system that supports the administration of public assistance programs including CalWORKS, CalFresh, Medi-Cal, General Assistance, Foster Care, and case management functions for Employment Services. Adding the two Sr SS Information System Analyst position will eliminate the constraints experienced by the division in having the ASA III classification working side-by side with Sr. SS Info System Analysts supporting the CalWIN division. The workload assignments have to be constantly assessed for appropriateness and has resulted in operational inefficiencies due to the gap between the job scope of ASAIII and Senior SS Info System Analysts. These inefficienceies can potentially disrupt the quality and level of support that the division provides to Department front end-users that administer welfare programs to our clients.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
