Report Title: Add one Quality Assurance Monitor position and cancel one Social Service Program Assistant I position in the Employment and Human Services Department
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26332 to add one (1) Quality Assurance Monitor (XQSP) (represented) position at salary plan and grade 255-1409 ($6,329-$7693) and cancel one (1) Social Service Program Assistant I (X0WD) (represented) position #12785 at salary plan and grade 255-1001 ($5,333-$5,599) in the Employment and Human Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this item will result in additional expenditures of up to $18,821 annually and a cost increase of up to $14,116 for FY 24-25, and will be funded by 12% County, 40% Federal, and 48% State funds.
BACKGROUND:
Over 300,000 individuals receive Medi-Cal in Contra Costa County. The Medi-Cal CalFresh Service Center provides services to the majority of these recipients. Quality Assurance for this workload coupled with the ongoing implementation of CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) is imperative. Mandates and initiatives are being monitored by the state and failure to meet the CalAIM performance standards puts the Department at risk of fiscal penalty. The addition of this position will help ensure performance standards are met.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the proposed action not be approved by the Board of Supervisors, the County will fail to meet CalAIM performance standards which puts the Department at risk of fiscal penalties.
