The Department of Social Services (DSS)/New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) is requesting software support for their Business Rules Engines (BRE). The BRE tool will be used to manage workflows and rules related to RA compliance, as well as eligibility determination rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The scope of the project includes design, development, and maintenance of the eligibility determination rules, as well as adjustments to these rules as per changes in agency policies. • The project aims to minimize error rates in overnight mainframe batch processing. • The BRE tool will allow IT and the business to externalize business rules, making them easier to manage and update. • The project will involve several disbursed programs and business units. • The workflow aspect of the project will automate communication and actions between groups, ensuring timely action on reasonable accommodation requests.
