APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Department Director, or designee, to accept a grant amendment to increase the payment limit by $142,741 to a new payment limit not to exceed $4,852,461 from the California Department of Education, effective February 1, 2016, to provide for childcare and development programs (CalWORKS Stage 2) with no change to term July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification on June 3, 2015 from California Department of Education for the 2015-16 funding allocation for alternative payment / CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare services. The Board approved receipt of funds on July 7, 2016 (C.79). This State program provides funding to reimburse a portion of the childcare costs incurred by CalWORKS Stage 2 participants through their participation in the CalWORKS program. As the program year continues, the State routinely adds funding to the contract as more funds become available. The board approved receipt of additional funds on March 8, 2016 (C.30) On April 19, 2016 (C.25) and again on June 7, 2016 (C.40), the board approved receipt of additional funds. This board order is to accept further additional funding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
