Deputy Health and Human Services Director Brad Wheaton told the Gunnison/Hinsdale Board of Human Services that House Bill 26‑1429 (Eligibility Services Changes) passed earlier in June and that the State set a final implementation date of July 1, 2028. Wheaton told the board the State is planning to hire a facilitator to assist local departments with implementation.
Wheaton said local concerns include introducing new technology, expanded staff training needs, changed processes and workflows, and an increased workload to assist other counties — all of which could affect customer service and require learning curves for staff. The minutes record the briefing as informational; no formal local decision or directive was recorded at the meeting.
