SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 363 appropriates $2,500.0 from the general fund to CYFD for developing early childhood family support and education training programs for providers who "provide" before-school and after-school programs to students who are eligible to receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Significant Issues
Programs developed are required to contain measurable performance standards, identify the number of target clients, and develop a reporting system. HSD is required to ensure that expenditures meet all federal and state requirements for Maintenance of Effort (MOE).
CYFD is required to contract with providers of job skills and leadership development programs for parents of students who are eligible to receive TANF. CYFD will need to work and coordinate with HSD in contracting to develop, establish and operate the programs, with HSD making referrals of eligible families to CYFD.
CYFD is required to report the appropriation as MOE, including adherence to the cap on administrative costs. CYFD is required to report to the Welfare Reform Oversight Committee on the programs developed.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
House Bill 363 appropriates $2,500.0 from the general fund and is recurring.
The appropriation shall not be expended for any purpose that may jeopardize its classification as maintenance of effort.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
Additional contract development and oversight would be required and coordination and cooperation efforts between HSD and CYFD.
