Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
The temporary assignment in pay for Lucas Villalpando from Eligibility Specialist III to Eligibility Specialist Supervisor is anticipated to be an additional cost of $193 in salaries and benefits per pay period or $1,158 for six pay periods. These positions support the California Works opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) which is supported 100% through state and federal funds. As this expenditure will be reported and reimbursed through California Department of Social Services there is no impact to the General Fund.
Narrative Explanation of Staffing Impact:
This temporary increase in pay will not increase the overall FTE for the Social Services Fund.
