We are transforming how caseworkers enter and record their work in Minnesota's child welfare system, allowing them to spend more time with children and families and less time at the computer.

DCYF Modernization Updates

Building Better Tools for Our Work Together

The Department of Children, Families, and Youth (DCYF) is making updates to the Social Service Information System (SSIS) Time Entry and Contact/Activity tool. This system is an important tool that staff use to write case notes, track their time, and share important information.

Time Entry Transformation Web App Launch

Stearns County began piloting a new web-based time entry application on September 10, marking a major step forward in modernizing how workers log their hours. Designed to streamline time tracking and improve integration with existing tools, including the SSIS desktop platform and backend databases, the new system is already earning praise from early users.
