AUSTIN - In an effort to replace some customer service centers, the state issued layoff notices this week to about 29-hundred state workers via e-mail.
The layoffs are part of the state's plan to replace some customer service centers, where Texans apply for food stamps and health benefits, with call centers.
The layoffs are effective on or after May first, but workers could be eligible for other state jobs or for jobs with the new call centers, which will be managed by private companies.
David McCurley, executive director of The Texas Access Alliance, the contractor for the call center service, says the alliance will hire displaced state workers to fill 60 percent to 80 percent of the 25-hundred jobs available.
