5 COUNTY ASSISTANCE OFFICES PROGRAM STATEMENT This appropriation provides funding for the operation of 96 local County Assistance Offices (CAOs), the primary point for the public to access both services that support transition to economic selfsufficiency and help with vital human services. The CAOs are responsible for the eligibility determination and distribu"tion of Cash Assistance, Energy Assistance, Medical Assistance (MA) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to residents of Pennsylvania. Cash Assistance includes: payments to meet everyday living expenses under the Federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, State funded supplemental payments to augment Federal Supplemental Security Income benefits, special allowances to support employment and training efforts and State Blind Pension benefits to persons who are legally blind. Payments to help meet heating costs are provided under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (L1HEAP). Pennsylvania's MA program provides payments for a comprehensive set of medical services, both for recipients of cash assistance and for persons whose income is sufficient to meet their basic living needs, but is not sufficient to cover additional medical care costs. Formerly known as Food Stamps, the SNAP program is administered under Federal regulations to help low-income individuals and families purchase food. The Income Maintenance Case Worker (IMCW) is responsible for making a determination of eligibility for the benefit programs cited above. Redeterminations of client eligibility are conducted periodically to ensure the client continues to meet eligibility requirements. In addition, IMCWs perform the functions necessary to issue Cash Assistance, SNAP and MA benefits to eligible clients and to act on reported changes or new requests. Implementation of the Federal and State welfare reform legislation (the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and Act 35 of 1996, respectively) led to a significant decrease in the number of families receiving Cash Assistance (from February 1997 to November 2014, the TANF roles have decreased by 60.4 percent). Reauthorization of TANF in 2006 resulted in a more stringent work participation rate with the goal of encouraging self-sufficiency. Over the past five years, "MA participation has increased by approximately 6.0 percent and SNAP benefits have increased by approximately 21.3 percent. In addition, the CAOs received 545,895 Cash applications and 138,446 Crisis requests during the Fiscal Year L1HEAP heating season. The Department of Human Services (Department) initiated the Disability Advocacy Program (DAP) in July Under this program, IMCWs across the Commonwealth identify assistance recipients having serious physical, mental or emotional disabilities that appear to preclude gainful employment. These individuals are referred to the Social Security Administration to apply for Federal Social Security/Supplemental Security Income benefits. The CAOs disability advocates assist with the applications for disability benefits, as needed. In Fiscal Year , there were 21,578 new referrals made to DAP with 8,798 approved for Social Security benefits. The CAOs in 67 counties provide access to critical services to approximately 2.8 million citizens every month across the Commonwealth. The overall goal is to deliver quality service in a timely and effective manner, whiie increasing our customers' ability"to achieve economic self-sufficiency. In the past year, the Office of Income Maintenance has improved customer service, increased efficiency and achieved stronger outcomes for our customers. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Access to Social Services (COMPASS). is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's online portal that allows individuals and community organizations to screen for, apply for and renew a broad range of social services programs. Through COMPASS, active recipients have the ability to create a confidential account in order to mooitor their benefits and report 31
6 changes. Likewise, COMPASS also allows registered community organizations-the ability to access and v.iew their submitted applications through a community partner dashboard.. Each year, an increasing number of individuals and community organizations are utilizing COMPASS' 24-hour internet access. The statewide customer service centers bring an opportunity for more efficient operations and enhanced customer service. Customer service centers align with our vision for effective management of our resources and allow our customers to receive the best customer service possible. The centers projected average call volume in Fiscal Year is 2,959,000 English calls and 217,690 Spanish calls. In Philadelphia alone, projected total call volume in Fiscal Year is 1,922,800. A Statewide Processing CenteJ (SWPC) was established to assist CAOs in processing work to ensure that benefits are issued in a timely, accurate and efficient manner. The SWPC is a virtual office with staff located in five locations; Butler, Cambria, Clearfield, Fayette and Somerset counties. Clerical support is located in Mercer County. The SWPC locations were selected because of existing available space in CAOs, as well as the opportunity to provide significant employment prospects. Staff was trained using a practical hands-on approach, with on-site support from supervisors and trainers. The focus of the SWPC is to process LlHEAP applications in a timely manner and to reduce backlog in CAO's. The processing centers are capable of assisting any CAO with unusually high volumes of work. The centers are fully operational, fully staffed and making a positive impact for Pennsylvania citizens. The Office of Income Maintenance, Division of Helpline and Correspondence staff responds to inquiries about public benefits in Pennsylvania. Inquiries come from applicants, recipients, public and private agency staff, legislative staff and the general public. Helpline numbers appear in various media such as: printed applications, COMPASS, published in telephone and internet directories and on the Department of Human Services website. In Calendar Year 2014, the Helpline received 508,670 calls and received 31,817 pieces of correspondence ( s and letters). The LlHEAP Helpline received 226,284 calls. 32
