The United States has strengthened its caregiver payment system through a new $200 million extension with global tech firm CGI. This three-year agreement supports the Case Management, Information and Payrolling System (CMIPS) in California. The system helps over 850,000 care recipients and employs more than 760,000 caregivers.
CGI will continue delivering full-service IT and business process support under the new deal. These services include secure payroll processing, case management, and system modernization. The caregiver payment system processes over 1.5 million payroll payments every month. Total annual payouts exceed $19 billion.
The renewed agreement reflects ongoing progress in digital transformation. CGI has already digitized timesheets and W-2s, migrated legacy systems to the cloud, and introduced automation tools. These changes have increased speed, reliability, and accessibility across the caregiver payment system.
However, Virginia Williams, a senior executive at CGI, emphasized the importance of this public-private collaboration. She said that CGI remains focused on improving cloud systems, expanding mobile services, and responding quickly to legal changes. These enhancements aim to ensure smooth operations and accurate payments across the caregiver payment system.
Meanwhile, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) will work alongside CGI to maintain service quality. Together, they seek to reduce paperwork, cut administrative burdens, and improve overall user satisfaction. Streamlined systems now allow families and caregivers to focus on care rather than bureaucracy.
CGI’s continued partnership also brings long-term value to the state. The tech firm’s modern approach helps lower costs and increase service efficiency. It also ensures that essential support reaches families without delays. The state’s investment in the caregiver payment system reinforces its commitment to social support programs.
Looking ahead, CGI will introduce AI-powered tools to provide better insights into payroll operations. These upgrades will help officials make smarter decisions and respond to shifting demands. Furthermore, multilingual mobile platforms will ensure that all users can access services easily and securely.
Ultimately, this agreement secures better care for millions of Americans. Nevertheless, this allows caregivers to be paid on time and helps care recipients receive consistent support. California continues to lead in digital government innovation by embracing partnerships that deliver long-term social and financial impact.
