Q&A

Aldebol asks about minimum qualifications review

New York City Council · Sep 22, 2026 · starts 0:33:13 · 1 min 15 sec

Aldebol asks about the minimum qualifications review; Porter says 116 titles reviewed, 69 amended, and the process is ongoing.

Shirley Aldebol

So we are aware that DCAS has been undertaking a minimum qualifications review of civil service titles in the hopes that some unnecessary eligibility requirements can be eliminated.

Shirley Aldebol

And as of April 2025, DCAS reviewed 90 titles.

Shirley Aldebol

Resulting in amendments to requirements for 61 of those titles, which impacted over 53,000 individual positions.

Shirley Aldebol

Have there been more minimum qualification reviews that have been completed since then?

Shirley Aldebol

And if so, how many titles have been amended?

Shirley Aldebol

How many individual positions do these amendments impact?

Katrina Porter

Thank you for that question, Chair.

Katrina Porter

As a quick update, currently we've reviewed about 116 titles, and we've seen a slight increase in expansion, MQR expansions, to about 69 titles.

Katrina Porter

This process is ongoing.

We are continuing to review minimum qualification requirements for the titles in the city's title portfolio, and we'll continue to make adjustments where necessary.
