Colorado welfare computer system "out of whack"
Apparently the DEC isn't the only one with computer problems. Todays' Rocky Mountain News reports:
The computer system that handles Colorado's welfare benefits is still out of whack, despite recent reports to the contrary, county officials and some recipients contend.
A bipartisan committee from Colorado Counties Inc. recently estimated that the Computer Benefits Management System is still generating an average of 11,300 notices of overpayments to clients every month.
In the two years and two months since the system came online, it has churned out 234,085 notices of a suspected $98 million in overpayments, county officials say.
