DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES (DPSS) SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME (SSI) ADVOCACY SERVICES

The County of Riverside, on behalf of its Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), is seeking qualified vendors to provide Supplemental Security Income (SSI) advocacy services for eligible foster‑care youth. The contractor will manage the full SSI application lifecycle—including new applications, age‑18 redeterminations, and continuing disability reviews—across multiple county locations, aiming for specified approval rates. The contract runs for five years (renewable yearly) with a projected workload of 110 new applications, 40 redeterminations, and 50 CDRs per year, though actual volumes may vary. Vendors must submit a unit‑price quote, meet security and privacy requirements, and comply with numerous county and state regulations.
