In 2009, the Workforce Development Division attended information sessions about the new Child Care Automated System to be implemented in 2010. The system change also involves staff from the Information Systems and Technical Support Division. The first piece to be effective will be an automated payment system; child care provider payments will be issued by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) rather than by the Seneca County Department of Job and Family Services (SCDJFS). The second phase will be the implementation of the Eligibility and Authorization piece. Once this is effective, the automated system will determine household eligibility, calculate family co-payments, provide "alerts" for staff, and send computer generated eligibility notices.  It is expected that this new Child Care Automated System will enable the SCDJFS staff to work more quickly and efficiently to serve our customers.
