Administrative & Regulatory SSC

Shared Services Center Created

SSC Operations and Structure

• The ARSSC will be housed as a division within the Department of Revenue, but will function as a unique business unit.
  
  
• As the ARSSC becomes operational, it will be responsible for providing direct fiscal/HR services and fiscal/HR support services to three state agencies:
  
  
  • Department of Central Management Services (CMS)
    
    
  • Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (DFPR)
    
    
  • Department of Revenue (REV)
    
    



• While this reorganization will change the way many fiscal and HR services are provided internally, these agencies will retain the responsibility and resources to perform their respective core missions, providing services to the People of Illinois.
