Governor Joe Lombardo’s ambitious plan to modernize Nevada’s finance systems has hit roadblocks since its rollout in early January. The new system has caused payment delays for child support, pensions, and health savings accounts, as well as glitches in budget interfaces for state finance employees. State officials attribute these issues to the transition from the old system. The problems have impacted employees’ paychecks, with some facing delays and errors in payments.
Despite the challenges, the governor’s office remains optimistic that the new system, called CORE.NV, will be sustainable in the long term. The project, which was allotted tens of millions of dollars in funding, is part of a larger effort to revamp the state’s outdated IT systems, which were found to be inefficient in a 2014 study.
State employees who work in accounting have reported difficulties adjusting to the new system, citing insufficient training and threats of losing system access for mistakes. While project leaders acknowledge issues with information interfaces and manually completed timesheets, they assure that most problems have been resolved.
The rollout of the new finance system has drawn criticism from employees who have experienced difficulties with payments and system navigation. Despite these challenges, state officials continue to work towards full implementation and improvement of the new system.
