BACKGROUND;
The Social Service Department has been contracting with the
State Department of Education (SDE) for approximately 25
years to provide child care services under the State General
Fund Child Care and Development Program. This will be the
fifth year of funding for the Federal (Alternate Payment)
Block Grant Child Care Program and the Federal Title IV-A
"At Risk" Program.
The State Department of Education has not as yet disclosed
funding amounts for FY 96/97, but has invited current
contractors to apply for continuing funding. Funding
allocations for the three contracts for FY 95/96 totalled
$1, 677, 732 . It is anticipated that FY 96/97 funding will be
approximately the same.
The State General Fund Program primarily serves families who
receive Child Protective Services (CPS) . The Federal Block
Grant Program targets Teen Parents, children at risk of
abuse and neglect, children with special needs, and low
income families. The Title IV-A "At Risk" Program serves
low income working families who would be "At Risk" of
becoming eligible for Aid to Families of Dependent Children
(AFDC) without child care subsidy.
Approximately 200 families are currently receiving services
under those three programs.
AB 2184 requires the California Department of Education and
the California Department of Social Services to establish a
system for tracking enrollment data or cost of eligible Aid
to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients in
California Department of Education's subsidized child care
system. This data will be used to maximize Federal
Financial Participation reimbursement through the Federal
Title IV-A program. Because of added tracking requirements
it was determined that administration costs relating to the
tracking for eligible families should be reimbursed to
providers for the following three categories; initial
tracking, computer costs and on-going tracking. The
reimbursement funding of $1,380 will apply to the period of
July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997.
