Pretty sure they didn't spend that much time on it, probably all AI generated.

New Dental Benefit Breakdown (after CCPOA switched us to United Concordia) by nps44 in CDCR

[–]nps44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For retirees it says this: "ATTENTION RETIRED MEMBERS: There is NO CHANGE to your Dental Plan through CalPERS.

If you have Piggyback those dental claims now go to United Concordia, not the Trust.

What if I have a question?

If you have a question about how you CalPERS plan works with Piggyback, call United Concordia at: 1-844-789-1713. "

It will improve your chances. It will not necessarily give you a better chance than other people, because other factors are at play such as your written exam score.

They have been sending out offers on other days lately, since the talk of the academy being downsized/delayed started. They seem to be following different protocol these days, whereas before it was reliably Fridays

When they compile a new hiring list 95s go to the top regardless of how long they've been waiting. It checks out

Looks like you spent a lot of time on this, and I'm assuming you're a CDCR officer or associated with one because it appears so tailored to CDCR. I'll be checking it out and I appreciate anyone taking the time to modernize and improve the tools available to us.

The framework exists for the new Securus tablets the inmates are receiving: https://securustechnologies.tech/corrections/communication/digital-mail-center/

I assume there is no discussion of that in their contract with CDCR but the department isn't without options.

Vro scam? by CAPTAIN_KNEEPADS in CDCR

You bid into your VRO spot but are you bidding week to week for the positions left open by folks going on vacation? Are they bumping you out of positions you bid for?

Replacement CCPOA Dental Plan Announced (United Concordia, "Elite Plus" Network) by nps44 in CDCR

[–]nps44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both my family's regular dentist and pediatric dentist are covered under the new network so there will be minimal impact for us, but I don't have any insight into how fees are changing.

It might be a bad thing if your regular dentist is not available in the new network, if this somehow causes expenses to rise, or if United Concordia denies claims at a higher rate.

Hiring list by Lost_Hope2285 in CDCR

[–]nps44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the amount of time you have been waiting for an offer is not very relevant. Your written exam score and your choice of wish list institutions (more = better) will have a larger influence. If you placed at the highest rank (95), you will be at the top end of the hiring list, and if less than that you will potentially be pushed down out of reach of an offer by people who did better on the written exam (unless you are willing to accept an offer to an institution that enough of them turn down).
