Personal Services Contract, Statewide Automated. Child
Support System/County Child Support Operations Expert
This agreement is to be entered into by and between the State Department of
Social Services and the County of Contra Costa for the purpose of the County
providing personal services to the Statewide Automated Child Support Bureau
by loaning a employee to serve in the capacity of County Child Support
Operations Expert. pursuant to Government Code Section 19050. 8. The State
Department of Social Services will reimburse the County for the cost of the
employees salary and benefits . The State- will directly pay a long term
T1�
subsistence allowance and travepenses icurred by the employee.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the State Child Support System project is not successful, the State will
lose as much as two (2) million dollars per month of reimbursement of welfare
monies collected and be subject to fiscal sanctions from the Federal
Government which would, in turn, negatively impact the Counties .
Contra Costa County would also lose the first hand knowledge and expertise
gained, by one of its own staff members, -which-would assist in a smoother
transition during conversion to SACSS. If we do not have this first hand
knowledge available to us we may need to hire someone to assist with
conversion.
