A better way to track time and serve Minnesotans
We’re modernizing the Social Service Information System (SSIS) to better support our workforce and the people we serve. Minnesota agency professionals, ranging from social workers, case aides, to clerical, fiscal and licensing staff, use SSIS to enter or update time information, case notes, and agency time sheet information.
By improving how caseworkers enter their time in SSIS, we aim to:
- Save caseworkers' time by making it easier to enter data
- Reduce paperwork and extra tasks for caseworkers
- Provide a mobile version so caseworkers can use it in the field
- Ensure correct and complete records
- Improve the ease and reliability of the system
This project is a partnership between DCYF, DHS, MNIT, and system users.
This update reflects DCYF’s broader commitment to simplifying systems, supporting our partners, and centering services around Minnesota’s children, youth, and families.
About SSIS
SSIS is Minnesota’s statewide system used to manage child welfare and protection cases and other social services. The system collects and tracks child welfare data and provides support for the delivery and management of child welfare services. While SSIS started as a child welfare system, it has expanded to include adult protective services.
County social workers use SSIS in all aspects of their work from intake and screening to time reporting, maltreatment investigation, out-of-home placement, and foster care licensing.
