Field Ops Memo 2010-44: TAFDC – Certain CIES Vendors Reaching Slot Capacity

Overview
The Department instituted the Competitive Integrated Employment Services (CIES) procurement process as part of an EOHHS Secretariat-wide initiative to purchase an array of ESP services to support clients in obtaining work and reaching self-sufficiency. Funding for these CIES slots was reduced in this year’s budget. As a result, certain CIES vendors are already reaching their slot capacity for the fiscal year.

Purpose of Memo
The purpose of this Field Operations Memo is to advise TAO staff about this situation and provide instructions for processing clients referred to these vendors.
