Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) Information Technology (IT) Projects

Below is a list of proposed IT Projects that are currently in the PAL review and approval process with the California Department of Technology (CDT). For purposes of this list “PAL Stage” refers to the last document officially submitted to CDT.

Projects are removed from this list when they exit the PAL process because: 1) the Agency/state entity receives CDT’s approval to begin project implementation; 2) CDT approves a Project Delegation Request; 3) the Agency/state entity withdraws the project; or 4) the CDT denies the project approval.

5180-232 SUN Bucks Solution (SBS)

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) proposes to re-engineer the manual process used to establish SUN Bucks eligibility, to meet the federal requirement published in the Interim Final Rule (IFR). The SUN Bucks, formerly known as Summer-EBT (S-EBT), is a permanent federal program to provide food benefits to families with school-age children during summer breaks when they do not have access to school meals. SUN Bucks was first implemented in California in Summer 2024. The current manual process is labor-intensive, and this proposal will streamline the process, improve accuracy, efficiency, quality, and time management.
