Subject:2014-15 CA Dept of Educ CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare revenue contract amend 2
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
through their participation in the CalWORKS program. The State routinely adds funds to the contract as more funding
becomes available throughout the program year. On June 9, 2015 the Board approved receipt of additional funding in
amendment #1. The additional funding was due to the over earning of the 2014-15 Alternative Payment/CalWORKs
Stage 2 contract.
Amendment #2 is generated from the California Department of Education Attendance and Fiscal Reporting and
Reimbursement Procedures for Child Development which states: “Contractors will be required to submit supporting
documentation with their request. State will determine the Contractor’s appropriate need and will augment the
maximum reimbursable amount (MRA) provided there is available funding. Contractors will receive notification from
State of the augmentation amount, followed by a contract amendment to increase the MRA.”
The department submitted the supporting documentation for funding augmentation to the State in July 2015. On
August 24, 2015, the Department received contract amendment #2 from California Department of Education
increasing the 2014-15 Alternative Payment/CalWORKs Stage 2 funding allocation by $182,388 which represents the
full amount requested.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.
