Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:

Social Services Fund
DISCUSSION:
On Jan. 1, 2023 the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) made several changes to their recruitment and selection process. One change implemented by CalHR modified a practice which was previously approved by CalHR to allow Social Worker IV candidates who were within 6 months of graduating with a qualifying master's degree in Social Work (MSW) to provisionally pass the Minimum Qualifications (MQ) screenings and be placed on an eligible list for a recruitment upon graduation. As of Jan. 1, 2023, CalHR no longer allowed this practice to continue unless the job classification specification was modified to include language allowing candidates to provisionally pass MQs who were within 6 months of graduating with their MSW. To allow candidates to continue applying without being screened out of the recruitment process for Social Worker IV positions pending completion of their MSW, the Human Resources department and the Department of Health and Human Services is recommending an amendment to the job classification specification for Social Worker IV A/B/C/D (MSS) to include the language required by CalHR to resume this practice.
