About this file

This document is a process flow diagram for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) CAB Integrated Telephony (CIT) system, detailing the to-be operational workflows for managing consumer complaints and utility inquiries. The diagram outlines two primary intake pathways: phone-based complaints handled through call center agents and written complaints submitted via postal mail, fax, email, or web portal. The system processes new and existing consumer contacts, captures complaint details including utility type and nature of issue, and routes inquiries either to utility companies for resolution or to CPUC staff for formal case processing. Key process steps include initial consumer intake, case creation and assignment, utility response tracking, and consumer notification through multiple channels. The workflows distinguish between phone contacts (which remain separate transactions) and formal cases (which can be supplemented and appealed), with specific decision points for case validity, jurisdictional appropriateness, and resolution sufficiency.

The to-be system incorporates both manual and automated processing capabilities through a consumer web portal, allowing customers to submit complaints online, track case status, download utility responses, and file appeals for cases older than 90 days or reopen cases within that timeframe. The workflow includes quality assurance checkpoints where CPUC staff and administrative personnel review utility responses for adequacy, with provisions for supplemental informal complaints when responses are deemed insufficient. System actions automatically populate consumer data, generate acknowledgment letters, and timestamp key milestones such as closure dates. The integrated approach consolidates intake, case management, and customer communication functions to streamline the complaint resolution process across multiple submission channels while maintaining clear audit trails and consumer visibility throughout the lifecycle.
