HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The Connecticut Department of Social Services commissioner has placed five staff members on administrative leave after multiple boxes of unprocessed welfare and food stamp applications, including some with voting forms, were discovered in the agency’s Hartford regional office.
DSS Commissioner Roderick Bremby said three managerial and two human resources workers are now under investigation, including the office’s former regional administrator, according to a memo he sent to the governor’s chief of staff. Bremby called the situation “disturbing.”
The memo was obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.
The documents include unprocessed applications for assistance and “redetermination forms,” required to continue receiving public assistance. Also, some included documents requesting voter registration help.
A DSS spokesman said a low-level supervisor initially alerted office management last week about the unprocessed forms, but the commissioner’s office only learned about them “through informal channels.”
Any normal non state job you’d be fired. Only with state jobs can you screw up this bad and get “leave” time for it
This link doesn’t work.
Donald I just clicked the link and it worked fine…you might want to try again.
How nice, they’re on leave. And people want the government/Obama running healthcare. If you keep voting for big government-type people this is what you get. The same people who are always suprized by these government debacles are the ones who always pull the Democrat lever in the voting booth, never making the connection between their voting and the results. Keep up the good work.
mick ,actually those where republicans that did this . they are the ones attacking the poor and at risk population .
keep on being a idot if you believe what you just said. because you don’t know nothing about what you just said
