RECOMMENDATION(S):

CONSIDER accepting the report from the Employment and Human Services Department regarding the impacts of technology on client access to public benefits.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no fiscal impacts.

BACKGROUND:

On June 7, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the Employment and Human Services Director's recommendation to refer oversight on the impacts of technology on access to public benefits to the Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS), due to the department's reworking of its business processes and development of technologies to make remote access of public benefits more common for its clients. This became F&HS Referral No. 114.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 14, 2017, the department provided the first report to F&HS on this referral. F&HS approved being forwarded to the full Board for a future date, as a discussion item.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
