Policy unit walks staff through operational work if age of majority is raised to 22
Summary
Amanda Mueller presented a scenario in which the age of majority rises to 22 and described the steps the agency would take: system updates, policy manual revisions, staff communications and an estimated mailing cost of about $43,000 to notify affected parties.
Amanda Mueller ran staff through a hypothetical: if the age of majority rose from 21 to 22, the agency would need system (MAX) changes, policy-manual revisions, staff memos with FAQs, and coordinated training. She said the change would likely require software updates and at least short-term workarounds while systems were updated.
Mueller gave a concrete operational estimate for one step: notifying affected caseholders. "It was like $7 a letter we were gonna have to mail out. It's gonna be 43,000 in postage, give or take," she said, noting the need for a one-time notice to all affected parties and the potential for staff calls and complaints while the agency implements system changes and communications.
