Texas DFPS Adult Protective Services Caseworker Turnover Drops From 25% To 20%
On February 3, 2020, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) reported that turnover for its Adult Protective Services (APS) caseworker fell from 25.2% in fiscal year 2018, to 20.7% in fiscal year 2019. Based on data from the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, DFPS believes that turnover could be 17% or lower in fiscal year 2020.
DFPS believes that the decrease in turnover can be partially attributed to three events:
A recent legislative decision to provide APS caseworkers and front-line supervisors a raise of $750 a month.
More than 40 caseworkers were added . . .
