Staff Development Division
About the Division

The Staff Development Division (SDD) exists to provide a complete training for eligibility specialists who work with families seeking public assistance (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medical Assistance, Long-Term Care, Adult Financial, and Colorado Works). The Colorado Benefits Management System (CBMS) is used to determine eligibility for these public assistance programs. The SDD is the training connection between the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF), and the Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) to the 64 county Departments of Social/Human Services, and Medical Assistance (MA) sites throughout Colorado. The Staff Development Division is responsible for the oversight and training implementation for all assistance programs housed within the CBMS automated system. CBMS training requirements can be found here.

CBMS Access - The state of Colorado Departments of Human Services, Health Care Policy and Financing, and the Governor’s Office of Information Technology are responsible for ensuring that comprehensive training is provided for staff, including contract staff, getting access to and/or updating the CBMS Production Environment. Due to the sensitivity of information in CBMS and the functionality that allows benefits and services to be issued to Coloradoans, users must receive training prior to accessing or updating the CBMS Production Environment. The CBMS Access training is the first training component. Additional training courses may be required depending on the user’s role and level of CBMS access.

CBMS Build Training - Our Colorado Benefits Management System (CBMS) is always improving. Each CBMS Build targets issues and improvements you need to know about. Read more about the support guides for recent CBMS Builds provided by your Staff Development Division (SDD) here.
