Summary of Request:
On July 29, 2011, the State of California presented to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and Center for Medicaid, CHIP, and Survey & Certification (CMS), its plans for reducing the complexity of the eligibility system configuration in California. Those plans included taking the necessary steps to consolidate the existing SAWS Consortia from three to two systems. The recommendation was to merge the LA County and C-IV Systems.
In September 2011, AB 16 passed. AB 16 called for “the migration of the 39 C-IV Counties into a single system jointly designed by the 39 counties plus Los Angeles County”. Pursuant to the Act, there is hereby created a public entity to be known as the California Automated Consortium Eligibility System (CalACES) consisting of eight regions. The purpose of this MOU is to delineate the areas of understanding and agreement between the Consortium and the Members regarding matters related to the administration and fulfillment of the Consortium’s purpose.
Joint Powers Authority was created pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California and first became effective December 1998 for Merced, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Stanislaus Counties. It was first amended on June 1, 2007, to include the additional 35 ISAWS counties, including Mendocino, in to the C-IV Consortium. On March 16, 2010, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 2 of which became effective on June 1, 2010.
