RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21878 to increase the hours of one (1) Eligibility Worker III (XHTB) (represented) position no. 4550 from part time (32/40) to full time (40/40) at Salary Plan and Grade 255 1334 ($4,170 - $5,068) in the Workforce Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval this transaction will result in an additional annual expense of $20,550. This position will be funded 42% Federal revenue, 48% State revenue, and 10% County cost. The annual pension cost increase is estimated at about 2,572.

BACKGROUND:

Eligibility Worker III position #4550 is a vacant position and is designated part time at 32/40 work hours. Eligibility Worker IIIs are responsible for managing and granting eligibility on CalFresh and Medi-Cal cases. In review of the workloads in the Medi-Cal units, the Department has determined that increasing the work hours for this position will help fill the vacancy and help alleviate the Medi-Cal backlog.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If work hours for position #4550 are not increased, the Department may have difficulty filling the position and will not have the sufficient full-time staff to process and maintain CalFresh and Medi-Cal cases in a timely manner that potential could impact the public negatively.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The additional hours will provide the Department with the staff critical to support 3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient, 4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing.
