About this file

This document is a process flow diagram for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Consumer Affairs Branch (CAB) Integrated Telephony (CIT) system, which supports the agency's complaint management and customer service operations. The diagram illustrates the current "as-is" workflows for handling both phone complaints and written complaints from consumers regarding utility services. The system encompasses multiple process flows including consumer intake, case creation, complaint logging, utility transfer protocols, supplement processing, and case resolution. The workflows involve multiple stakeholders including consumers, SSA (Staff Services Analysts), AGPAs (Associate Governmental Program Analysts), and utilities, with interactions occurring through phone contact, walk-in services, fax, postal mail, and web portal submissions. The diagram demonstrates the complete lifecycle from initial complaint receipt through case closure, including decision points for determining complaint validity, jurisdictional eligibility, response sufficiency, and appeal considerations.

The process flows reveal the current operational environment where phone complaints and written complaints are managed through distinct pathways, with phone contacts unable to be converted into or linked to cases. The system tracks multiple variables including consumer information, utility type, complaint category and subcategory, case status, acknowledgment of receipt, and utility response timelines. Key procedural elements include automatic data population, address validation, utility transfer options, case coding requirements, letter generation, and notification protocols. The diagram indicates that responses must be evaluated for sufficiency, with inadequate responses potentially leading to supplemental case creation or informal review processes before final case closure and consumer notification.
