BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
mandate. The pricing structure of the program is discounted based upon the volume of cases submitted to be
processed. Due to the statewide focus on early intervention efforts, Stanislaus County Department of Child Support
Services has requested to submit their cases, with Contra Costa County to increase the volume of cases submitted and
thereby reduce the per case cost. This is a collaborative effort to address the State mandate and to accomplish this
task in a cost efficient manner by leveraging the buying power of the Departments.
Approval of this Interagency Agreement will allow Stanislaus County Department of Child Support Services to pay
Contra Costa County for early intervention deliquency services that were specifically applied to their Agency's
caseload.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action were not approved, it would lessen the ability for DCSS to increase collections through early
intervention efforts, as the current staffing levels do not allow for this level of service to be provided.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Approval of this Board Order will help the Department of Child Support Services to collect child support payments
and pass these collections on to the home for the benefit of the children associated with cases within this Department.
