Human Resources Department: Request to add (10) permanent FTE positions to HHS, Community Support Division

-- Susan Caskey, Housing and Human Services (HHS) Director, is requesting Ten permanent HHS Eligibility Technician B's.  In January 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a Public Health Emergency (PHE) in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. Congress subsequently passed legislation that ensured anyone enrolled in Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program and CHP+) was guaranteed, or locked in, to keep their health coverage during the PHE.  The PHE is no longer tied to continuous coverage and cases will need to be redetermined for eligibility. It will take 12 months (14 months including noticing) to complete the renewal process for all locked in cases. Human Resources has approved the classifications. Will Kugel, HHS Finance and Operations Deputy Director, has verified the funding. Board of Commissioners’ approval is needed for this request.
