The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to advise social services districts of the availability of $1.79 million of Local Assistance General Funds in the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2008-2009 Enacted Budget for the improvement of child protective services (CPS) staff to client ratios. The funds may only be used to hire additional CPS caseworkers and/or supervisors in the workforce. This LCM provides information on how social services districts may apply for these funds; the criteria that the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) will use to determine which applying social services districts will be funded and the amount they will receive; and the claiming requirements.
