INCOME MAINTENANCE ERROR RATE LEVEL
In response to your request that we furnish you with a
report on Contra Costa County' s Income Maintenance error rate
level for presentation before the Board of Supervisors, we attach
the latest information available from the State regarding error
rate levels in AFDC, Food Stamps, and Medi-Cal Programs.
As you will note, we have maintained an acceptable error
rate level since 1984 in AFDC and Medi-Cal. In Food Stamps we
have struggled to lower the error rate, and in 1985, we were just
. 4a over the tolerance level.
We also attach a copy of a letter of commendation received
from Linda McMahon, Director of the State Department of Social
Services.
In an effort to maintain low error rates in the Income
Maintenance Programs administered by the Social Service
Department, it was decided several years ago to establish
corrective action committees in each district office. These
committees send representatives to a Central Corrective Action
Committee and, in this way, each office has input into the
identification and correction of errors. In these Corrective
Action Committees, the Department has brought together managers,
eligibility staff, clerical staff, and representatives from the
computer system group.
There is a real team effort involved in maintaining a low
error rate in Contra Costa County, and recognition must be given
to all of our workers. At the Central Corrective Action
Committee difficult issues, ones which could not be resolved at
the district level, are agendaed so that managers and workers
county-wide can look at the problems and 'seek solutions. New
ideas are tested in one or two districts and implemented
county-wide if it does resolve a given problem.
