Authorize Certification Statement for California Children’s Services Program (Districts: All)
End
Overview
On May 24, 2022 (8), the Board of Supervisors authorized the certification statement for the California Children’s Services (CCS) program, reaffirming the County of San Diego’s (County) long-term commitment to helping children reach their full potential. This commitment is demonstrated by supporting programs that link eligible children to low or no-cost health care coverage, providing comprehensive case management and therapy services for low-income children with medically complex conditions. The CCS program receives funding from the California Department of Health Care Services Children’s Medical Services (CMS) and is administrated by the County through Public Health Services (PHS) Division of Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA). CMS requires an annual budget submission process for the provision of services to the children of San Diego County, with certification by the Board. This certification process allows the County to receive reimbursements for services in the CCS program.
Today’s action requests the Board to authorize the annual approval and execution of the State’s Fiscal Year 2027-2028 CCS Certification Statement. Additionally, this action requests the approval and execution of the CCS Certification Statements for the subsequent four fiscal years through Fiscal Year 2031-2032.
This item supports the County’s vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically for historically underserved communities. It aligns with the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe and thriving communities by supporting essential programs and support services for at-risk children and families.
