their participation in the CalWORKS program.
The Board approved receipt of additional funds on September 11, 2012 which increased the payment limit to
$2,600,432. On September 30, 2013, the Department received an amendment #2 from the State to accept further
additional funds. This proposed amendment is in response to the Department accepting the transfer of additional
families from the Professional Association for Childhood Education (PACE) Alternative Payment childcare program.
The Department of Education affected this tranfer upon the cessation of service provision from PACE, effective May
21, 2013. The Department agreed to accept the additional families, incurring the costs identified herein.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.
