State Security Administrators, County/Site Security Administrators, supervisors, and trainers must ensure training requirements identified by the SDD are adhered to for users of the Colorado Benefits Management System (CBMS). Below is guidance on which training you are required to take as it applies to your role within your agency.
All CBMS Users
A new user or a user that has lost CBMS access for 180 days or more, must retake all required training.
Security Administrators
If a Security Administrator has lost CBMS access for 1 year or more, they must complete all required training again.
