Collections Officer

12-31-19

Does your county have a Collections Officer?  If so, what are their duties.  If you do not have a Collections Officer, who fulfills pieces of that role (Case Aide, Eligibility Worker, etc.)? 

Do any county’s contract out for this service?  IF so, specifically what?

Thank you.

Here is a link to where it was asked over a year ago. I am sure there are updates that could be very helpful for everyone.
  NOTE: this will take you to our old blog. It is still active so we can use the history from it.

Combining Public Health with Human Services

12-30-19

I have been assigned to a committee to analyze combining Public Health with Human Services.  We are located in separate buildings and there is no plan to combine us into one location, so if we combined the director would oversee two locations.  If your county combined and you have any advice or words of wisdom to share regarding the positives and negatives of combining, I would appreciate your help.  Each committee member is reaching out to their peers across the state to gather info and then we will be combing everything into one document for the County Board to review and make a decision.

Thank you,
