RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Child Support Services, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Maximus effective February 15, 2016, to add additional Early Intervention Services, with no change to the contract payment limit or contract term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to the County General Fund. Payment for these services is fully funded by allocations from Federal 66% and State 34% governments.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Child Support Services currently has an active contract with Maximus for Early Intervention Services, with the purpose of preventing delinquency of child support payments. This amendment will increase the services provided by the vendor to include additional services on Supplemental Compliance cases and Non-Compliant Income Withholding Notice cases.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action were not approved, DCSS would not have the ability to take advantage of the additional services that Maximus has available to assist in preventing payment delinquency.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided by Maximus are important to the overall effort of enforcing the timely collection of child support payments; these efforts support the overall well being of the children that are being served.
