COMMITTEE MEMBERS EXPLAINED TO
BE HERE FOR YOU AT THIS
AFTERNOON. THE ADMINISTRATION'S
BEFORE TO ONE POINT ZERO SIX
BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET FOR THE
TRANSFER PROGRAM THREE HUNDRED
THIRTY SIX MILLION OF WICH IS
STATE GENERAL FUND. DECSS
PRIORITIES CONTINUE TO BE ON
THE EQUITABLE FUNDING ACCOUNTS
FOR PROGRAM ACROSS ALL THE
LOCAL TRANSFER AGENCIES THE
COURTS AND STATE DECSS. WE WERE
ON TRACK TO ACCOMPLISHING THIS
FOR AN IMPENDING BUT LIKE MANY
OTHERS CODE IS RESULTING IN THE
SET BACK TO THOSE EFFORTS. THIS
BUDGET SEEKS YOU TO TRANSFER
PROGRAM BACK ON TRACK TO
ACHIEVE THOSE OBJECTIVES.
ALBEIT AT A SLOWER RATE. SO
WITH YOUR PERMISSION I'D LIKE
TO TURN OVER CONSTANT ENGINE OR
TO. GIVE A. QUICK OVERVIEW THE
DEPARTMENT'S PROPOSAL. GO AHEAD
PLEASE. I THANK YOU MY NAME
MENTIONED IN THE SERVER- THANK
FOR TO GIVE A OVERVIEW ON THE
BUDGET CRITICAL UNDERGARMENTS
ARE YOU CAN GET DATA TO ADDRESS
THE FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE
CHALLENGE FOR PROGRAM WHICH IS
JUST TRUST WATER AND ALONG.
IMPACT THAT HAS THAT HAS ON. I
SHOWN IN FIG ONE OF THE AGENDA
THERE'S ABOUT EIGHTEEN FIVE
DOLLARS ACHIEVING HELP ARREARS
MOST OF WHICH IS SHOWN IN DELTA
MORNING BRACKET. BETTER POINT
YOU SHOULD. THE PROPOSAL SEEKS
TO ADAM JOHN MY IT CAN. IS
APPROPRIATE FOR PARENTS THAT
HAVE UP IN OTHER WORDS IS THE
LOVE OF SUPPORT FOR YOU INCOME.
SET AT A LEVEL THAT IS. FOR
PAYING. YOUR CHILD SUPPORT
ORDERS ARE SET TOO HIGH.
RELATIVE TO A PARA INCOME IN
LEAD TO THE CAN OF CHILD OR-
WHEN THE PAIN PARENT'S OWN.
BASIC SERVICES TO CHALLENGE. WE
HAVE A YEARS COMPROMISED BUT
WE'RE STRONGER A COKE. SHOULD
PROVIDED OPPORTUNITY FOR
PARENTS REDUCE THEIR GOVERNMENT
DEBT AND- WAY. YOUR GENDER
BECAUSE ALL THAT IN. FOR
CHANGES DIFFICULT PROGRAM BUT I
WANT TO- GO HIGHER. ANOTHER
ASPECT THE PROPOSED WHICH IS
LOOK AT WHAT ACT. IMPACT TO
COLLECT. OF GEARS.
APPROXIMATELY ONE. OF THE
GOVERNMENT I WOULD BE ARE. TO
GLASCO FORTY DOLLARS DOLLARS IN.
INCOME COLLECTIBILITY LOW AT
THE TERM. AND HOW THE BILL TO
READ THIS. OR HOW DID ACTUALLY
BECOME. GARDEN WHICH YOU ARE IN
THE ESCAPE. SUBJECTING THEM TO.
ENFORCEMENT ACTION AS LIKE THE
DETENTION. AND GOOD FOR ALL OF
US TOGETHER DANTICAT AT. BETTER
UNDERSTAND HOW AS WELL. ON THE
MY COLLEGE POTECT PROPOSAL AND
HAVE THAT YOU CAN QUESTION TO
THE COMMITTEE. ALL THE- IF SO
WE'LL GO TO THE PARTNER FINANCE.
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE I WOULD
HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS ON.
HELLO. RIGHT JACQUELINE BRACERO
JACQUELINE BRAZIL WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST OFFICE NO
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WITH THE
PROPOSAL WOULD ECHO STAFF
COMMENTS OF ENSURING THAT THE
STUDIES DO NOT DUPLICATE
EXISTING RESEARCH BUT RATHER
PROVIDE NEW INFORMATION- TO
MOVE THESE CONVERSATIONS
FORWARD- WE WOULD ALSO SUGGEST
THAT THE LEGISLATURE REQUEST A
DRAFTOF THE RESEARCH PROPOSAL
TO GET A BETTER SENSE OF
WHETHER THE LINE OF QUESTIONING
OR HOW THE TOPICS ARE FRAMED-
ALIGNED WITH THOSE OF
LEGISLATIVE. INTEREST BUT
TAKING A STEP BACK AND LOOKING
AT THE PROPOSAL MORE BROADLY WE
WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE
LEGISLATURE VIEW THE
ADMINISTRATION'S RESEARCH
PROPOSAL AS A OPPORTUNITY OR OF
POTENTIAL VEHICLE TO ASSESS THE
EFFECTIVENESS. OF EXISTING OR
NEW PROGRAM POLICIES THAT HAVE
COME UP IN PASSED BUDGET
HEARINGS AND LEGISLATIVELY
DRIVEN WORK GROUPS THAT COULD
BOTH FURTHER INFORMED THE STATE
APPROACH IN IMPLEMENTING AND
MAKING CHANGES- TO ALIGN WITH
THE FEDERAL FINALRULE. OR TO
JUST DISCUSS POSSIBLE
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROGRAM AS
A WHOLE I'M AND AN EXAMPLE WAS
PROVIDED TO IT- IN YOUR GENDER
IN THAT- THERE HAVE BEEN PAST
CONSIDERATIONS BY THE
LEGISLATURE I'M TO SEASON FORCE
MEN ON CHILD SUPPORT DEBT OWED
TO THE STATE THAT IS DEEMED
UNCOLLECTIBLE. AND THUS IS NOT
AN EFFECTIVE OR PRODUCTIVE USE
OF PROGRAM RESOURCES IF THE
LEGISLATURE STILL INTERESTED IN
PURSUING THAT SPECIFIC-
OPERATIONAL CHANGE AND ITS
ATTEMPTS TO MANAGE AND REDUCE
CHILD SUPPORT DEBT. I'M BECOME
CONSIDER INCLUDING THAT- AN
ASSESSMENT ABOUT PARTICULAR
CHANGE WITHIN THE RESEARCH
PROPOSAL WITH THAT SAID WILL
CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE
ADMINISTRATION'S FOR ALL AND
WILL SHARE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS WE HAVE WITH THE
COMMITTEE AND STAFF THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- IF I CAN
ASK BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT. IN
THIS I'M NEW TO THIS SO VERY
BRIEFLY CAN YOU SPELL.
EXPLAINED TO ME THE K. FACTOR.
ON THE LINE IS KRISTIN DONNELLY
CHIEF DEPUTY DIRECTOR THAT CAN
GO INTO THAT DETAIL OF THE MORE
CLEARLY. SURE JOHNSON IS BASS
ON A MATHEMATICAL. AND THE KEY
FACTOR IS A COMPONENT TO THE
PERCENTAGE OF A PARENT'S INCOME
THAT IS UTILIZED FOR CHILD
SUPPORT. SO THE CURRENT K.
FACTOR IS ZERO POINT TWO FIVE
OR 25% AS A BASE OR AS AN
ANCHOR AND SO THAT MEANS WITHIN
CERTAIN BANDS OF INCOME FOR
FAMILIES AND IT'S COMBINED
HOUSEHOLD INCOME. WE ASSUME
THAT FOR ONE CHILD WE'RE GOING
TO ASSIGN 25% OF THE PARENTS
INCOME TO SUPPORT THEIR
CHILDREN. OKAY THE LAST REPORT
HAD RECOMMENDED FURTHER
RESEARCH ON THE K. FACTOR AS IT
HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED AND THE
BANDS OF INCOME HAVE NOT BEEN
UPDATED SINCE IT WAS PUT INTO
PLACE IN NINETEEN NINETY THREE.
SO WILL WILL THAT BE PART OF
THE STUDY THEN IS TAKING A LOOK
AT THE KEY FACTOR IN SEEING IF
IT'S STILL ACCURATE AND
RELEVANT AND THEN HOW DOES THAT
HOW WE- HOW WE USE THOSE TWO
DATA POINTS. THE C. O. A. P.
THE KEY FACTOR- TO REACH A
CONCLUSION JOURNAL WE HAVE ANY
OTHER DATA POINTS OR ANY OTHER.
METHODOLOGY THAT WILL BE IN AND
INTEGRATING INTO THAT. YES
THERE COUPLE DIFFERENT RESEARCH
METHODOLOGIES- ALREADY IN
PLACE. THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED
SO THAT TWENTY SEVENTEEN REPORT
WHICH WAS PRODUCED- BY JUDICIAL
COUNCIL CALIFORNIA AND- GIVEN
TO THE LEGISLATURE IN JANUARY
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. DID RECOMMEND
FURTHER RESEARCH ON THAT K.
FACTOR- WE DO WANT TO TAKE A
LOOK MORE BROADLY. AND
GENERALLY THE IDEA IS THAT IF
WE HAVE AN ORDER THAT IS TOO
HIGH AS NAN SAID THEN WE COULD
LEAD TO ARREARS. SO THERE'S
THAT TIPPING POINT FOR PARENTS
OF WHERE IT BECOMES TOO MUCH
AND NEITHER PARENT CAN SURVIVE.
SO IT IS ALSO INTERCONNECTED IN
TERMS OF DETERMINING THE
SUBSISTENCE LEVEL FOR THE
PARENT WHO'S PAYING SUPPORT AS
WELL. THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL IS
IN THE PROCESS OF KICKING OFF
THEIR QUADRENNIAL REVIEWS EVERY
FOUR YEARS REQUIRED TO DO A
REVIEW. SO THEY WILL GET AGAIN
BE LOOKING AT AND THE RESEARCH
THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE AND
WHETHER ANYTHING NEW HAS TAKEN
PLACE SINCE THAT LAST REVIEW
AND TWENTY SEVENTEEN. SO WHAT
WE'RE PREPARING FOR IS THE
BELIEF THAT THEY WERE ASKED TO
DO FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS AND
SO WE CAN PARTNER WITH THEM TO
DO THAT TOGETHER. SO WILL THERE
BE ANY WHAT WHEN THEY JUST COME
OUT WITH THEIR THEIR PATERNAL
REVIEW. HOW HOW. WOULD YOU
PROPOSE AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT'S ALREADY
BEEN DONE SO WE'RE NOT
REDUNDANT AND- DOING THE WORK
DISCARDED INTO BY ANOTHER
AGENCY. ABSOLUTELY THAT'S A
HUGE GOAL FOR US WE DON'T WANT
TO BE WERE DONE IN THIS
RESEARCH SO. THAT QUADRENNIAL
REVIEW AND THE SCOPE OF THAT IS
NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO DO ANY
ORIGINAL RESEARCH WHICH IS WHAT
WE'RE LOOKING TO DO HERE TO GET
A BETTER IDEA FOR CALIFORNIA.
THE REPORT FROM TWENTY
SEVENTEEN TALKS ABOUT THE FACT
THAT CALIFORNIA SO UNIQUE. AND
THAT IT IS THE DIFFERENCE- IN
ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE
STATE WHERE HUGE STATE AND-
IT'S VERY VERY DIFFERENT SO
IT'S VERY DIVERSE. WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
APPROPRIATE RESEARCH TO
UNDERSTAND- F WE DO NEED TO
HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE
MORE CUSTOMIZABLE. AND IF WE
CAN DO THAT. MAKE IT UP THAT
WOULD NOT BE REDUNDANT THE
ACCORD JOINING REVIEW WOULD SAY
HERE'S THE RESEARCH. THAT'S IN
TOTAL AND WE RECOMMEND YOU DO
FOR RESEARCH ON THIS IS. SO
YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO
FOCUS ON. THE FURTHER RESEARCH
NEEDED TO GONNA TAKE DIRECTION
FROM THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL
REPORT WELL SO THAT REPORT IS
DUE TO JUDICIAL COUNCIL IN
NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR AND IT
WILL COME TO GO TO THE
LEGISLATURE IN JANUARY OF
TWENTY TWENTY TWO SO WE WOULD
ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO START
OUR RESEARCH AFTER WE KNOW
FINALLY WHAT THEIR REVIEW THAT
COMES STEVEN JERRY TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. AND WHAT ARE THE
THINGS THAT THEY RECOMMEND THAT
WE RESEARCH FURTHER IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN THEY DID RECOMMEND
FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE KEY
FACTOR AND THAT'S NOT BEEN DONE
YET SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT THAT
WILL BE IN THIS NEW REPORT AS
WELL SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING
EVEN GETTING GOING ON THIS
UNTIL NEXT YEAR IS THAT
CORRECT. FOR THE K. FACTOR
PORTION YES WE WOULD LIKE TO
START WITH THE COLLECTABILITY
PORTION HERE WE DID ANTICIPATE
THAT THIS RESEARCH WOULD NEED
TO BE DONE OVER TWO YEAR
PERIODS THAT'S WHY DOES HAVE
THAT TWO FISCAL YEARS IN THIS
PROPOSAL OKAY. AND THEN- LET'S
FIND OUT WHAT THE BEST PLAN. I
YOU THINK IT'S A VERY- SO
BASICALLY PAY SOMEONE A- JERRY
SAYING THAT FOR THIS COMING
FISCAL YEAR THE PROPOSAL IS
REALLY TO STUDY TO
COLLECTABILITY ISSUES AND THEN
AFTER JUDICIAL COUNCIL IS DONE
THEIR REPORT THEN YOU'RE GONNA
LOOK AT THE K. FACTOR IS SO IS
THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL INCLUDES
BOTH PARTS ARE IS IT JUST FOR
THE FIRST PART. OF YOUR STUDY.
IT'S FOR BOTH PARTS IN URBAN
OKAY SO BOTH PARTS OKAY THANK
YOU AND THEN WHAT IS YOUR
LOOKING AT THE COLLECTABILITY
ISSUES SO FOR EXAMPLE- YEAH WE
DID HAVE A BILL WHICH
UNFORTUNATELY GOVERNOR VETOED.
REGARDING INTERESTS I THINK BUT
I REMEMBER WHEN THE BILL CAME
THROUGH HUMAN SERVICES ONE OF
THE ISSUES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT
IS THAT SOMETIMES- PEOPLE. IF
ONCE THE PUBLISHERS LIKE WHEN
THE DATE GETS VERY LARGE IN A
LARGE PORTION OF THAT DEBT
ACTUALLY IS NOT TO PAY THE FOR
THE CHILD SUPPORT IT'S TO PAY
THE PENALTIES AND INTEREST AND
SO FORTH. THAT PEOPLE MUCH MORE
RELUCTANT TO PAY IT BECAUSE I
DON'T SEE THAT MONEY ACTUALLY
GOING TO THEIR CHILD. IS THAT
ISSUE GOING TO BE EXAMINED IN
YOUR COLLECTIBILITY REPORT TO
THE ISSUE ABOUT- PEOPLE'S
WILLINGNESS TO ACTUALLY PAY
WHAT'S IN ARREARS. GIVEN WHAT
THEY MAY KNOW ABOUT THE PORTION
OF THE FUNDS IT ACTUALLY ENDS
UP WITH THE CHILD- THAT THEY'RE
PROVIDING CHILD SUPPORT FOR.
YOUR QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE OF
THE- COMPROMISE ARREARS PROGRAM
IS A PROGRAM THAT WE ARE
REVAMPING TO EXPAND OUT AND THE
NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT
WOULD- BE ABLE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THE LIMITATIONS OF THE CO
PROGRAMS THOUGH ARE THAT A
PERSON HAS TO PUT FORWARD A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GET
AND A LARGER AMOUNT RE REMOVED
FROM DEBT. TO BUILDINGS ARE HE
REALLY WANTS TO GO ONE STEP
FURTHER AND LOOK AT CASES
WHERE. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO
PAY AND HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
RESOLVE THOSE WITHIN SOFTWARE
PROGRAMS RIGHT NOW ONLY
CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THOSE IS TO
CLOSE THE CASE ENTIRELY AND
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY
SOMETHING WE'RE ABLE TO DO
WITHIN OUR CURRENT FRAMEWORK OF
RULES. THEM RIGHT NOW SO I
THINK THIS WILL INFORM SOME OF
THE DECISIONSTHAT NEED TO BE
MADE ON THE ROAD ON HOW WE GET
RID OF. AND ACTIVISTS TRULY
UNCOLLECTIBLE IN ITS ENTIRETY
OKAY SO I GUESS I WOULD URGE
THAT WE EXPANDED THE SCOPE OF.
THIS STUDY- THAT YOU'RE DOING-
INSTEAD OF JUST NAY MORE NOW.
LOOKING AT JUST PEOPLE WHO.
CAN'T PAY THEIR DAD. TO
ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE LARGER
ISSUE OF- HOW DO WE MAXIMIZE
OUR COLLECTION. RATE WHICH IS.
TECHNICALLY WHAT THE WHOLE
STATE WAS ABOUT INCLUDING
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE K. FACTOR
BUT REALLY LOOKING AT SOME OF
THE ISSUES. GUARDING- YOUR
ABILITY TO COLLECT FROM P. I
MEAN CERTAINLY WE WANT TO LOOK
AT WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO
QUOTE YOU KNOW CAN'T PAY IT AT
ALL RIGHT NOW BUT ALSO WANT TO
LOOK MORE BROADLY AT HOW HOW DO
WE- YOU KNOW HOW DIFFERENT ARE
DIFFERENT MECHANISMS WE HAVE
THAT WE PUT IN PLACE LIKE
WHETHER IT'S INTEREST OR
PENALTIES AND SO FORTH MAY
ACTUALLY IMPACT PEOPLE'S
WILLINGNESS. TO PAY BACK THEIR
DEBT I THINK IT'S A CRITICAL
QUESTION BECAUSE ULTIMATELY.
WHAT WE WANNA DO IS WE WANT TO
MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT. CAN GO TO THE CHILD AND
THEIR FAMILY I MEAN THAT'S
HOPEFULLY THAT'S THE GOAL OF
CHILD SUPPORT GREAT AND- WE
SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKING AT
THAT ISSUE AS WELL AND FIGURE
OUT WHAT KIND OF POLICIES THAT
WE PUT IN PLACE THAT MAXIMIZES
THE FUNDS THEY'RE GOING TO.
CHILDREN AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT
BY DOING THAT WE HAVE TO REDUCE
OTHER STATE EXPENSES AS WELL
RIGHT SO WE KNOW IF YOU'RE THE
KIND OF WORKS AND KNOW THAT
IT'S ADDRESS SO- SO I GUESS I
WOULD URGE THAT THE SCOPE OF
YOUR STUDY BE BIT BROADER THAN
SIMPLY JUST LOOKING AT THE-
POPULATION OF PEOPLE WHO. BACK
AT THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE
UNABLE TO PAY AT ALL AND LOOK
MORE BROADLY AT SERVE
COLLECTION PRACTICES. AND HOW
THAT IMPACTS OUR ABILITY TO
COLLECT PEOPLE'S WILLINGNESS
AND HOW MUCH EFFORT WE HAVE TO
TAKES TO TRY TO TEASE PEOPLE
DOWN TO GET THEM TO PAY- IN
THAT REGARD SO- I HOPE THAT.
THAT WHEN YOU COME BACK TO US
UP AND MADE WITH THIS PROPOSAL
THAT YOU BE A BROADER. STUDY
WOULD BE AND ANTICIPATED. A
GOOD COMMENTS IN THAT IS THE-
WE'RE TO GO AND THEY'RE ALL
REALLY. INTO PLAY. IN CONNECT
TO KATE FACTOR NOT DATING MAX
IS REALLY TRYING GET ENACTED
ORDER SO THAT READERS DON'T
BUILD UP. THE COLLECTABILITY
SAID HE'S REALLY LOOKING AT
ALRIGHT WHAT'S ALREADY BUILT UP
AND HOW DO WE ADDRESS THAT
NIGHT IT'S KIND OF ALL OF THOSE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CASES- WE
HOPE TO ADDRESS IN THIS. THANK
YOU AND THEN OF COURSE THE
FINAL IMPACT ON CHILDREN
FAMILIES- SO I GUESS I WOULD I
WOULD ASK. SINCE THE IT WAS THE
GOAL OF THE LEGISLATURE TO GET
TO GET RID OF IT ALTOGETHER-
AND IF YOU'RE JUST STARTING TO
FIND. OUT HOW WE BEST- CAN. ON
IT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ENOUGH
MONEY FOR. CATCHER AND
FAMILIES. IF WE CAN PLEASE ASK
YOU. TO COME BACK WITH THE FULL
SCOPE OF THAT SO WE CAN PERHAPS
PROVIDE SOME MORE INPUT ON WHAT
WE'D LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED.
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
NOT QUITE SURE YET IF IT'S
GOING TO BE A DATA COLLECTION
TOOL OF PROCESS. EVALUATION AND
LIKE TO SEE THE KIND OF THE
COMPONENTS OF THE OF THE
RESEARCH GOING FORWARD BEFORE
WE- MOVE FORWARD. OKAY THERE'S
NOTHING ELSE WE WILL MOVE ON.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE WE WANT TO
ISSUE NUMBER TWO. LOCAL CHILD
SUPPORT COURT AND FUNDING.

SURE THAT WERE THAT WERE
ACTUALLY. THAT. WE'RE ACTUALLY
ACHIEVING THAT AIM. THANK OKAY.

AS NOTED IN THE AGENDA OKAY
KATHY HAD DECREASED BY ALMOST
ONE OF POSITIONS OVER THE LAST

PARENTS ARE MOST IN NEED ABOUT
THREE FOUR TO THE DEPARTMENT
CASELOAD ARE EITHER CURRENTLY

OR REDUCTION IN INCOME. THE
CHANGES AND FINANCIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE MORE
MODIFICATIONS TO CHILD SUPPORT
ORDERS ARE OFTEN A LABOR
INTENSIVE WORK WITH LOCAL CHILD

REQUIRE YOU TO ADDRESS FUNDING

PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CLINICAL
LOW. TWENTY COUNTY. HELP TO

COMPACTLY. HAPPY TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS WHERE. OKAY WE HAVE
DEPARTMENT ANYTHING. HELLO
ADDITION COMES THANK YOU WHICH
WOULD ANALYSTS. WE NO CONCERN
WITH THE FUND GOVERNMENT- WHICH
FIRST ALSO YOU MAY PAR RESTORED
FUN. I'M THAT WERE ELIMINATED
AS A PARTY THE TWENTY TWENTY
TWENTY ONE BUDGET ALSO WE HAVE
NO CONCERNS WITH- THE
ADMINISTRATION'S APPROACH AND
DIRECTING THE FINES I'M TO
THOSE L. CSAS THAT PER ITS OWN
CALCULATION DO NOT HAVE THIS
NECESSARY STAFFING LEVEL TO
FULLY MANAGE CASE WORK- WE
WOULD KNOW. THAT WELL THE
ADMINISTRATION'S RECENTLY
DEVELOPED FUNDING METHODOLOGY
FOR LOCAL CHILD SUPPORT
AGENCIES INCLUDES MULTIPLE
FUNDING AUGMENTATIONS IT IS OUR
UNDERSTANDING THAT DUE TO
PROJECTED BUDGET CONSTRAINTS
THE ADMINISTRATION IS NOT
PROPOSING. I'M ANY ADDITIONAL
AUGMENTATIONS IN FUTURE YEARS-
WHILE THE STATE MAY NOT BE THE
BEST FISCAL POSITION TO COMMIT
TO THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDING
AUGMENTATIONS. THE STATE MAY
STILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE
PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS THEIR
OPERATIONAL OR POLICY BASED
CHANGES I'M SPECIFICALLY THE
LEGISLATURE MAY WANT TO
EXPLORE- WHICH OPERATIONAL
EFFICIENCIES ARE POLICY
CHANGES. IT COULD PURSUE WHILE
THE ADMINISTRATION'S FUNDING
METHODOLOGIES ON BECAUSE I'M IT
COULD DIRECT THE ADMINISTRATION
TO EVALUATE- POLICY CHANGES AND
EFFICIENCIES THAT WERE RAISED
AND PREVIOUS WORK GROUPS
PILOTED IN SOME LOCAL CHILD
SUPPORT AGENCIES- EVEN
PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED BY THE
LEGISLATURE OR ADMINISTRATION.
ADDITIONALLY WE WOULD SUGGEST
THAT BE- LEGISLATURE DIRECTED
MINISTRATION- TO ADDRESS ANY
CONCERNS- THAT WERE RAISED AND
IT'S RECENTLY DEVELOPED A LOCAL
CHILD SUPPORT AGENCIES BEFORE
REPURPOSING THIS. BEFORE
REPURPOSING. THE METHODOLOGY IN
FUTURE YEARS. THANK YOU FOR
MUCH I GUESS I JUST WOULD ECHO
THAT AND ASK THE QUESTION THE
DECISION A- FIRST OF ALL HAVE
WE SEE. WHAT RESULTS HAVE WE
SEEN FROM THE DECREASE THAT WE
FACED WITH WITH COVERT. AND
WHICH OF THE EFFICIENCIES AND
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR PRIOR
STUDIES ON THIS ARE WE
INTEGRATED INTO THE INTO THE
QUESTIONS IN THE METHODOLOGY OF
THE NEW STUDY. THIS IS A
REGULAR WHAT SOME OF THE
PRIMARY ISSUES THAT ARE MOVING
FORWARD ON AND RETRIEVE ALL
AROUND THE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY
OF DOCUMENTS PARTICULARLY. A
SIGNATURE WITH COURTS AND
THERE'S A BIG MOVE IN THE CHILD
SUPPORT PROGRAM AND FOR TELL
WORKING AND THE REDUCTION OF.
PRINCE THE ENTIRE STATE FOR A
LITTLE TRANSFERASES AND STATE
DECSS. AND WE ALSO HAVE SMALLER
INITIATIVES THAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING ON THE TRAINING AND
MAKE TRANSPORT MORE EFFICIENT-
OUR MIGRATION TO THE CLOUD OF
OUR TRANSFORM FORTUNE SYSTEM.
AND WE EXPECT TO SEE SOME
SAVINGS OFF OF THAT HOPEFULLY
AND IN THE WAY THAT WE RENDON
OPERATOR SYSTEM. AND BEYOND
THAT THERE ARE SMALLER TWEAKS
IN THERE ARE LOCAL BEST
PRACTICES THAT ARE BEING.
UTILIZED ACROSS THE STATE BUT
THEY'RE NOT SIGNIFICANT
FINANCIAL CHANGES THAT THAT
GREATLY IMPACTS THE OVERALL
OPERATIONS ALSO PROGRAM. THE
PROGRAM ITSELF IS GONE THROUGH
ALMOST TWO DECADES OF LACK OF
FUNDING AND EFFICIENCIES ALL
ALONG THE WAY A LOT OF ISSUES.
STATE FARM WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO. THIRTY I THANK YOU THREE
MUCH AND- I APPRECIATE THE
PRESENTATION AND THE GOVERNOR'S
AT LEAST PROPOSAL. TO END TO DO
REALLY SOME INCREASE HOWEVER I
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO PART HILLS WE
CAME TOGETHER AND WE HAD CHILD
SUPPORT DOWN COUNTY CHILD
SUPPORT AGENCIES AS WELL AS THE
ADMINISTRATION COME TOGETHER
AND DEVELOP- THE PROPOSAL THAT
SAID FUNNY PROPOSAL WHICH IS
SAID DON PIES AND BAKERY
SHOOTER SOME INCREASE THIS
YEAR. NOTE THAT AS WE WERE
EXAMINING THAT- THAT. THAT THAT.
WE ACTUALLY END UP BY FULLY
INVESTING GENERATING MORE MONEY
FOR CHILDREN THEIR FAMILIES
THAN BY NOT AND SO I DO WANT TO
KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WERE QUOTE-PUTTING A PIES BECAUSE THE
ULTIMATE IMPACT AT LEAST FOUR
WE LOOK AT IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO
WAS IS THAT- OUR LACK OF
INVESTMENT IN- CHAU IT
INCIDENTS HAPPEN THEIR CHILD
SUPPORT AGENCIES IN A CHILD
SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE ACTUALLY
ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN
ESSENTIALLY CHILDREN AND THEIR
FAMILIES GETTING LESS RESOURCES
I MEAN THAT'S THE REASON WE
HAVE CHILD SUPPORT IN FACT AT
THE BULLS DON'T. TRY THINK HOW
LONG W. EVEN AT SOME POINT WE
WERE PENALIZED BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT BY HAD PADLEY WE
WERE DOING SO WELL I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE IN THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL THAT THERE IS SOME
INCREASE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED
AND I THINK PROPERLY TARGETED I
GUESS I WOULD ALSO APPEAL SAY
THAT- WE REALLY SHOULD BE
TRYING TO WORK TOWARD FULLY
FUNDING WHAT WE AGREED TO
SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IF WE
CAN'T DO IT THIS YEAR- WE
SHOULD AT LEAST IN THE OUT
YEARS BE LOOKING AT ME THAT
MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THIS IS
ABOUT TRYING TO MAXIMIZE THE
AMOUNT OF FUNDING WE CAN GET TO
CHILDREN THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH
THE CHILD. SUPPORT SYSTEM AND
I'M AFRAID THAT BY PUTTING A
PIES- IF WE CONTINUE TO STAY IN
A PAUSE MODE WERE ACTUALLY
GIVING UP ARE ACTUALLY GIVING
UP WE ARE DECREASING WHAT WE
WERE ANTICIPATING WE'RE ABLE TO
DO SO- I GUESS I WOULD URGE
THAT- VOICE ONLY APPRECIATE
WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE IF
IT'S POSSIBLE TO TRY TO
pCERTAINLY AT THE YEARS WE
SHOULD BE PLANNING TO FULLY
pPROPOSALS THAT WE CAME TO AN
AGREEMENT ON SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
NOT THAT MANY YEARS AGO AND- SO
THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT
OF FUNDS WE'RE GETTING TO LAST
TWO CHILDREN THEIR FAMILIES.
FOR TO CHILD SUPPORT THANK YOU.
LET'S MOVE ON TO ISSUE NUMBER
FOUR SEVEN TWO ALREADY BROUGHT
UP. THE SIGNATURES HERE WE GO.
I KRISTIN X. NINETY FOUR THE
DEPARTMENT- THIS TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE PERMITS US TO UTILIZE.
OUR EXISTING RESOURCES IN TERMS
OF AN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE TOOL
IT CREATES AN EXCEPTION TO THE
GENERAL RULES FOR USAGE OF
THOSE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN
COURT FILINGS AND IT'S
CONSISTENT WITH A LONGSTANDING
EXCEPTION ALREADY IN PLACE FOR
A LOCAL CHILD SUPPORT AGENCIES.
WITH REGARD TO DOCUMENT SIGNED
BY THEIR AGENTS. THE GENERAL
RULE IS THAT DOCUMENTS THAT ARE
SIGNED ELECTRONICALLY CAN THEN
BE FILED ELECTRONICALLY. THIS
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE BUILDS
UPON THAT AND BUILT UPON AN
EXPANSION FROM THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL IN THE RULES OF COURT.
THAT WAS EFFECTIVE IN JANUARY
TWENTY TWENTY WHICH PERMITS
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE AND
DOCUMENT SIGNED BY OPPOSING
PARTIES AGAIN OF THOSE
DOCUMENTS ARE ELECTRONICALLY
FILED. HOWEVER ONLY ABOUT
TWENTY COUNTY COURTS HAVE
ELECTRONIC FILING CAPABILITY AT
THIS TIME. AND EARLY TWENTY
TWENTY WE SOUGHT TO UTILIZE OUR
EXISTING ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE
TOOL AND THAT NEW RULE OF COURT
TO PERMIT THOSE LOCAL CHILD
SUPPORT AGENCIES WITH
ELECTRONIC FILE CAPACITY. TO
CIRCULATE DOCUMENTS TO PARTIES
TO JUST DISTILLATIONS. SO WE
PROVIDE ACCESS TO THAT TOOL TO
THOSE LTSA IS- WITH THE
EXPANDED NEED FOR MODIFICATION
DUE TO COPE WITH THOUGH WE WERE
ABLE TO ADD A FEW MORE COUNTIES
ON THAT- ACCEPTED OR ADOPTED
EMERGENCY RULES OF COURT. TO
PERMIT THIS KIND OF PAPER
FILING OF THOSE DOCUMENTS SO
THAT'S WHAT THIS TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE DOES IT PERMITS US TO
CIRCULATE THOSE DOCUMENTS SUCH
AS STIPULATIONS- FOR ELECTRONIC
SIGNATURE AND THEN IF THEY
COUNTY COURT DOES NOT HAVE
ELECTRONIC FILE CAPABILITY. FOR
THE LOCAL AGENCY TO BE ABLE TO
PRINT THAT DOCUMENT AND HAVE IT
FILED SO GREATLY REDUCES THE
TIME IT TAKES TO CIRCULATE
THESE DOCUMENTS. AND WE'RE
GONNA BE HAPPENING SAID THAT
SYSTEM UP. YES WE ALREADY HAVE
THIS AVAILABLE FOR ABOUT TWENTY
FIVE COUNTIES SO IT WOULD BE
JUST PROVIDING ACCESS TO OUR
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE TOOL TO
THE REST OF OUR COUNTIES
EVENTUALLY WE WOULD UTILIZE OUR
EXISTING STATEWIDE. OUR SYSTEM
TO BE ABLE TO SEND THOSE
DOCUMENTS THAT WE CAN SEND IT
THROUGH THE SIGNATURE TOOL
TODAY SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO
COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE TODAY
SO IT'S A MORE LOW TECH
APPROACH- TO BE ABLE TO GET
EVERYBODY ACCESS TO THIS AND
HAVE THAT STATEWIDE CONSISTENCY
SO. IN EVERYBODY IN ANY COUNTY
SHOULD BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS
TOOL RATHER THAN ONLY A SELECT
FEW. I APPRECIATE THAT
SPREADING IT OUT FOR EVERYONE
TO BE ABLE TO BE THE BEST OKAY
THE- DEPARTMENT FINANCE
ANYTHING. THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE HORN- NOTHING FURTHER
TO ADD THANK YOU. HELLO THIS
TIME. THE CONCEPT OF EXPANDING
THE ALLOWANCE OF ELECTRONIC
SIGNATURE WAS IDENTIFIED AS A
BEST PRACTICE IN OPERATIONAL
EFFICIENCY IN THE PREVIOUSLY
LEGISLATIVELY DRIVEN WORK
GROUPS- SO WE HAVE NO CONCERNS
WITH THE PROPOSAL BUT WHAT
AGAIN REITERATE THAT- IN
ADDITION TO THE EXPANSION OF
THE SIGNATURE. IN THE END THERE
IS STILL A QUESTION OF ARE
THERE OTHER PROGRAM
EFFICIENCIES THAT- WERE
DISCUSSED IN THESE WORK GROUPS
THAT COULD ALSO BE EXPLORED AND
MAYBE JUST TO MAKE IT A FULL
CIRCLE MOMENT- WE'RE IN THE
BEGINNING OF THE HEARING WE
WERE TALKING ABOUT ARE THERE
WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN LOOK AT
COLLECTABILITY MORE BROADLY.
I'M SPECIFICALLY IN THE
LEGISLATION THAT WAS ULTIMATELY
VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR THAT TRY
TO LOOK AT THE PRODUCTIVENESS
AND COST EFFICIENT
EFFECTIVENESS OF PURSUING-
CHILD SUPPORT ARREARS BACK-
WERE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. AND
THAT WAS A- THE PROGRAM
EFFICIENT THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN
THESE WORK GROUPS- SO TO THE
EAST AND I'M DEPENDING ON HOW
YOU STRUCTURE IT COULD POSSIBLY
ALSO RESULT IN SOME WORKLOAD
RELIEF- AND COST PRESSURE
RELIEF TO LOCAL CHILD SUPPORT
AGENCIES IT BACK MEANS THAT-
THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE NO LONGER
PURSUING- COLLECTIONS FOR THOSE
CASES I'M SO AGAIN THAT'S JUST
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN WHICH THE
LEGISLATURE COULD- CONSIDER
EXPLORING ADDITIONAL PROGRAM
EFFICIENCIES BLANKING SIGNATURE
THAT WERE MENTIONED AND
DISCUSSED IN PREVIOUS WORK
GROUPS. OKAY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH OF ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS I

TO THE CHILD SUPPORT PROGRAM
THERE IS ONLY ONE EXTERNAL
BUDGET PROPOSAL IN THE AGENDA.
SPECIFICALLY THE CHILD SUPPORT

NINETEEN POINT TWO MILLION
GENERAL FUND ONGOING WHICH IS
MATCHED WITH. THIRTY SEVEN
POINT THREE MILLION FEDERAL
FUNDS TO SUPPORT LOCAL CHILD
SUPPORT AGENCIES. OKAY THANK
YOU VERY MUCH AND NOW WE MOVE
ON TO. DEPARTMENT SOCIAL
SERVICES OFFICE OF EQUITY
PROGRAMS.
THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE MY
NAME'S ELIANA CAME ONCE I WILL
BE PROVIDING THE RESPONSE TO
ISSUE NUMBER ONE REGARDING THE
OPEN NINETEEN RAPID RESPONSE
EXPENDITURE- FIVE MILLION
DOLLAR ALLOCATION FOR
IMMIGRATION RAPID RESPONSE.
FROM THE BROADER COPING
NINETEEN BUDGET CHANGED SO IT
IS INTENDED TO ALLOW THE
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
STAFF FUNDING FOR A QUICK
RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS. WHERE IMMIGRANT
POPULATIONS WERE IN ELIGIBLE
FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED SERVICES
OR BENEFITS CAN RECEIVE
HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY FOR THIS
RAPID RESPONSE PROGRAM WAS
CREATED IN TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN IMPROPER INSTITUTIONS
CODE SECTIONS. 1-300-040-0213
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND NINE
IT AUTHORIZES THE DEPARTMENT TO
PROVIDE HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE
TO NUMEROUS SITUATIONS
INCLUDING NATURAL DISASTERS
ABRUPT FEDERAL POLICY CHANGES
AND PANDEMICS WHERE INDIVIDUALS
MAY NEED SHELTER FOOD AND
MEDICAL SCREENING CLOTHING OR
OTHER BASIC SERVICES. LAST YEAR
THE DEPARTMENT SET UP THE
DISASTER RELIEF ASSISTANCE FOR
IMMIGRANTS PROGRAM TO PROVIDE
ONE TIME CASH ASSISTANCE TO
UNDOCUMENTED CALIFORNIANS
IMPACTED MAKEOVER NINETEEN
WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL
STIMULUS OR OTHER FEDERALLY
FUNDED PROGRAMS. THIS PROGRAM
DISTRIBUTED SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN DIRECT
ASSISTANCE TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
TO PARTNERSHIPS. WITH OUR
NONPROFIT PARTNERS. IN ADDITION
THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN CLOSED.
WITH NONPROFIT YOU COUNTY
PARTNERS IN SOUTHERN IN THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BORDER
REGION MONITORING THEIR RIVALS
OF IMMIGRANT FAMILIES ALLOWED
TO ENTER. IN THE PAST RAPID
RESPONSE PROGRAM FUNDING HAS
BEEN USED TO HOUSE THE WRITING
FAMILIES AND PROVIDE FOOD
MEDICAL SCREENING AND
TRANSPORTATION AS NEEDED TO
INSURE SAFE AND WELCOMING AND
TREAT PROCESSES NOT THE BORDER.
RIGHT BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS FOR RAPID
RESPONSE FUNDING. BASED ON THE
REALITY THAT WITH THE ONGOING
PANDEMIC ANNUAL NATURAL
DISASTERS IMPACTING YOUR RATE
POPULATIONS INELIGIBLE FOR FEMA
FINDING. AND THE SITUATION AT
THE BORDER THE DEPARTMENT WILL
NEED FUNDING AVAILABLE TO
TO SITUATIONS IMPACTING OUR
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. GIVEN THE
POTENTIAL INCREASE IN IMMIGRANT
FAMILIES ARRIVING AT CALIFORNIA
SOUTHERN BORDER AND THE ON
GOING. PANDEMIC THIS WILL ALLOW
THE DEPARTMENT TO RESPOND IN A
BOTH MANAGE INTERNATIONAL
MONETARY WAY AND ENSURE PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY. WE HAVE
APPRECIATED THE FLEXIBILITY
PROVIDED BY THE CURRENT
STATUTORY FRAMEWORK THAT HAS
ALLOWED US TO SHIFT FOCUS AS
THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY
HAS CHANGED. OVER THE PAST FOUR
YEARS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
PREVENT. THE PROGRAM TO FOCUS
ON TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS
DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD
ARRIVALS PUBLIC CHARGE IS
NEEDED TO RESPOND TO THE NEEDS
ON THE GROUND. AS ALWAYS WE
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY
CLOSELY TO ENSURE WE ARE
RESPONSIVE TO ANY CHANGES. AT
THIS TIME HOWEVER IT'S
DIFFICULT TO PREDICT WHAT TYPE
TYPE OF ADDITIONAL SERVICES MAY
BE NEEDED FOR THE AMOUNT OF
FUNDING THE SERVICES WOULD
REQUIRE. THANK YOU AND I FORGOT
TO INTRODUCE MYSELF MY NAME IS
ELIANA CAME ONCE I AM THE
IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION BRANCH
CHIEF HERE AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
SOCIAL SERVICES. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION
ANYTHING FROM THE DEPARTMENT
FINANCE. I DON'T SEE YOUR HAND
ANYTHING FROM THE L. A. U. OKAY
IT YES. I'M OKAY I GUESS I
GUESS I WOULD JUST A- ASK SAID
THAT SO NONE OF THIS MONEY IS
GOING TO BE USED FOR DIRECT
PAYMENTS. TO PEOPLE THIS TIME
IT'S JUST GOING TO BE USED FOR
SUPPORT AND ALL THAT SUPPORT BE
PROVIDED. THROUGH A GRANT
PROCESS TO NONPROFITS OR HOW
WILL WE DECIDE HOW. TO
DISTRIBUTE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
AND TO WHOM. THANK YOU FOR THAT%
QUESTION. OUR UNDERSTANDING IS
THAT THIS TIME THAT THE FIVE
MILLION IS- IS INTENDED TO
RESPOND TO ANY SITUATION THAT
ARISES SO IT MAY BE- AT SOME
POINT YOU SHOULD AS A DIRECT
PAYMENT MAY ALSO BE USED FOR
OPERATIONAL EXPENSES OF OUR
NONPROFIT PARTNERS AS NEEDED-
WEEK WE DON'T QUITE KNOW AT
THIS TIME WHAT. EXACTLY AT THE
EMERGENCY THAT WILL BE AWESOME
IT WILL BE- SO WE DON'T HAVE
THOSE SPECIFIC DETAILS BUT IN
THE PAST IS MENTIONED IT HAS
BEEN PROVIDED FOR AN EVER IDEA
SERVICES INCLUDING SHELTERING.
DIRECT ASSISTANCE OPERATIONAL
EXPENSES TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE
SERVICES. AND USUALLY WE HERE
AT THE- INTEGRATION BRANCH WORK
WITH- NONPROFIT SERVICE
PROVIDERS AND PROVIDE GRANT
LEGAL AGREEMENTS AND. AND GET
THE FINDING OUT NOT MATTER. SO
WE'RE NOT SURE YET IF THIS WILL
BE THROUGH RAN FUNDING. WE'RE
NOT SURE. WE'RE NOT SURE BUT
THAT IS USUALLY THE METHOD THAT
WE USE HERE AT THE DEPARTMENT
TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDING TO OUR
SERVICE PROVIDERS. OKAY SO THIS
IS A QUESTION JUST IN CASE. AND
DOES THE DEPARTMENT ANTICIPATE
WITH THE NEW FEDERAL FUNDING
THAT MIGHT BE COMING THAT THIS
WILL ANYTHING WILL BE OFFSET. I
THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE
UNCERTAINTIES AT THIS POINT WE
ARE. STILL WAITING TO SEE WHAT
TYPE OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR
FUNDING WILL BE WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE- BUT WE HAVE IN THE
PAST NO IN THE STATE HAS BEEN
ASKED TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE
RESPONSES TO WAIT THAT IS THE
INTENT OF THIS FUNDING TO BE
ABLE TO PRINT. TO RESPOND
QUICKLY. OKAY I THINK THE PART
FULLY APPROVE THIS WOULD LIKE
SOME MORE INFORMATION DR GRANT.
THANK YOU- YOU MENTIONED THAT
LAST YEAR OR TWO OR SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION I REALIZED IT WAS
A- PLOT THAT NOT JUST STATE
MONEY WAS- OTHER TYPES OF
MONIES- DO YOU ANTICIPATE FOR
THIS COMING YEAR WE'RE GOING TO
ALSO BE GETTING HELP FROM NOT
FOR PROFITS AND OTHERS. IN THE
SAME SCALE AND THEN I GUESS THE
OTHER QUESTION IS THAT WHAT IS
TRUE REPORTING REQUIREMENT I
REALIZE YOU CAN'T ANTICIPATE
RIGHT NOW BUT ONCE YOU EXPAND
THE FUNDS. IS A REPORTING
REQUIREMENT BACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE IS HOW THE FUNDS
WERE EXPENDED- ONCE IT'S- DONE
ARE OR- SELF SERVICE BOTH OF
THOSE QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE SEVENTY FIVE MILLION
PRINT THAT WAS. PROVIDED LAST
YEAR FOR THE DISASTER RELIEF
ASSISTANCE FOR IMMIGRANTS FIND
IMMIGRANTS PROGRAM WAS STATE
FUNDING- AND WE DID PROVIDE A
REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE. LAST
YEAR IN THE FALL- WITH. DETAILS
ON HOW THOSE FUNDS WERE
EXPENDED- THAT WAS A
COMBINATION OF FUNDS TO PROVIDE
OPERATIONAL SUPPORT THE
NONPROFIT'S DELIVERING THE
SERVICE. AS WELL AS THE
DIRECTOR SYSTEMS PAYMENTS TO
INDIVIDUALS- NOT SURE DR PANDA
ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION BUT I HAD
A FOLLOW UP. YES WELL ACTUALLY
MY QUESTION WHAT IS THE SENATE
OKAY SO. THIS IS SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLAR AND FIVE
MILLION- AND I YEAH I HEAR WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT FLEXIBILITY
IS THERE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
AS TO HOW YOU WENT THE FOR THE
FIVE MILLION THAT YOU'RE
PROPOSING THAT ONCE IT'S
EXPENDED THAT. THE THAT WILL
ALSO BE REPORTED TO THE
LEGISLATURE. OTHERS FUNDS WERE
EXPENDED. YEAH WE DO PROVIDE.
WE DO EXPECT TO PROVIDE REPORTS
BACK TO THE LEGISLATURE AND
EXPENDITURE OF THOSE FUNDS.
OKAY AND- ALL RIGHT THAT'S-
DIDN'T DESERVE- OKAY. THAT'S
RIGHT THANK YOU OKAY AND SINCE
I'M I'M TO THE COMMITTEE HAVE
HAVE WE USED ALL THE SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION THAT WAS ALREADY
THERE. IS THAT A QUESTION YES
I'M SO YES THAT WAS A QUESTION
FOR YOU. HI YES WE HAVE THOSE
FUNDS WERE EXPENDED LAST YEAR.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH
BUT IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I
THINK WE'LL MOVE ON TO ISSUE
NUMBER TWO. I COULD AFTERNOON
SENATORS MY NAME IS MARCELLA
RUIZ AND I AM THE DIRECTOR OF
THE OFFICE OF EQUITY AND ISSUE
NUMBER TWO IS RELATED. TO FOR A
BUDGET CHANGE PROPOSALS BCPS
FOR THE OFFICE OF EQUITY A
PRISON ON THREE OF THEM. AND
THEN- PASS IT OVER TO MY
COLLEAGUE AS BRANCH CHIEF AND I
CAME AWAY IT'S FOR THE FOURTH
WHICH IS RELATED TO THE
IMMIGRATION WORK. SO OUR FIRST
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL BUDGET
CHANGE PROPOSAL IS FOR OUR
LANGUAGE SERVICES UNIT WHICH-
WE ARE SEEKING FOR POSITIONS
ONE AS A SOMEONE AND THREE
EIGHT GPAS. TO EXPAND OUR IN
HOUSE CAPACITY FOR LANGUAGE
ACCESS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS. AS YOU ARE AWARE
CDSS PROGRAMS ARE SUBJECT
MULTIPLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS
THAT REQUIRE A DOCUMENT
TRANSLATION SO THAT WE CAN
ENSURE THAT THE POPULATIONS WE
SERVE HAVE ACCESS TO THE
INFORMATION THAT WE PROVIDE.
CURRENTLY OUR STAFFING IS SEVEN
POSITIONS ONE S. ASSIGNMENT SIX
EIGHT GPAS. AND WITH THAT WE
WILL PROBABLY WERE ABLE TO
PRODUCE- HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PRODUCE BETWEEN TEN THOUSAND
AND THIRTEEN THOUSAND PAGES OF
TRANSLATION PER YEAR ALL JUST
NOTE THAT IS TWICE AS MANY AS
WE TRANSLATED FIVE YEARS AGO.
AS YOU ARE AWARE OUR DEPARTMENT
HAS BEEN EXPANDING AND WITH
PROGRAM EXPANSION AND
REORGANIZATION SUCH AS THE
TRANSITION OF THAT. CITY
PROGRAMS WE WILL ALSO NEED TO
EXPAND OUR RESOURCES TO ENSURE
LANGUAGE ACCESS SO THE ADDITION
OF THESE FOR REQUESTED. STAFF
TRANSLATORS WILL ALLOW CDSS TO
COVER MORE LANGUAGES IN HOUSE
AND TO ADDRESS THE INCREASED
VOLUME THAT THAT WE EXPECT AN
INVITE ONLY TO ENSURE THE
QUALITY CONTROL THAT IS OFTEN
SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF
LANGUAGE. AS THE NEXT PROPOSAL
IS RELATED TO EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY- SIMILARLY TO THE
LAST PROPOSAL I JUST SPOKE
ABOUT GIVEN THE GROWTH IN THE
DEPARTMENT WE ALSO SEE AN
INCREASE NEED- TO STAFF UP IN
R. E. O. OR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY. OFFICE WHICH IS
CURRENTLY STAFFED BY BY BY FIVE
STAFF PEOPLE WHO ARE
INVESTIGATING- ALMOST TWICE AS
MANY COMPLAINTS AS WE SAW FIVE
FIVE YEARS AGO- WE ARE SEEKING
TO ADDITIONAL HEPA POSITIONS IN
ORDER TO LOWER THE RATIOS OF
THE NUMBER OF CASES PER STAFF
PERSON. AND THEREBY ENSURE THAT
CASES ARE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY
IN A TIMELY MANNER ULTIMATELY
WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE
RIGHTS OF ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES
AND OUR AND THE IN THE
POPULATION THAT WE SERVE. OUR
ARE ARE PROTECTED AND THAT
INVESTIGATIONS ARE TIMELY AND
ALSO WE WANT TO REDUCE- COSTLY
LITIGATION THAT CAN RESULT FROM
THE LAYS IN THE PROCESS. THE
THIRD PROPOSAL IS RELATED TO
OUR OFFICE OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS- A
YEAR AND A HALF AGO WE WERE
AUTHORIZED TO FUNDS THREE HEPA
POSITIONS THAT SERVE IN THE
CAPACITY OF IF THEY EAT ECWA
FIELD LIAISON- THOSE POSITIONS
ARE GOING TO SUNSET AND SO WE
ARE ASKING FOR IT TO MAKE THOSE
THREE POSITIONS PER MINUTE. AT
AS YOU KNOW THE INDIAN CHILD
WELFARE ACT WAS PASSED IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY EIGHT AND
RECOGNITION THAT AMERICAN
INDIAN CHILDREN. ARE WERE BEING
REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES. ADAM
HIGHER RATE THAN NON NATIVE
CHILDREN CALIFORNIA HAS
RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF A
QUAD HAS CODIFIED IN OUR OWN IN
OUR OWN STATUTES IN THE MAIN-
THE MAIN GOAL IS HERE TO ADD TO
PREVENT THE BREAK UP OF THE
INDIAN FAMILY AND TO PROVE
OUTCOMES FOR AMERICAN INDIAN
CHILDREN. THE THREE O'CLOCK
POSITIONS ARE REALLY CRITICAL
TO THAT TASK THEY COULDN'T ACT.
COUNTIES AND TRIBES WITH
RESOURCES THEY HELP BUILD THE
CAPACITY OF OUR OF OUR COUNTIES
ARE ENFORCING OUR CHILD
WELFARE- THAT ARE MANAGING AND
MEASURING OUR CHILD WELFARE
SYSTEM. TO ENSURE THAT THERE
IS- CONFORMITY AND COMPLIANCE
WITH WHAT IMPLEMENTATION THE
ENSURE THAT THERE IS THE RIGHT
LEVEL OF INQUIRY AN ACTIVE
EFFORTS MADE TO MAINTAIN AND TO
UNITE INDIAN CHILDREN. IN THEIR
HOMES OR WITH THEIR FAMILY AND-
WITH WITHIN THEIR TIBES- WE
REALLY SEE THIS IS A CRITICAL
CRITICAL EQUITY ISSUE GIVEN
THAT IN SOME COUNTIES THE
CASELOADS OF AMERICAN. A NATIVE
AMERICAN CHILDREN IN IN THE
CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM MARK 40%
OF THE ENTIRE HE SLID THIS
COMPUTER TO A POPULATION SIZE
OF JUST UNDER 2% FOR IT FOR THE
ENTIRE STATE OF NATIVE.
AMERICAN OR A MINUTE AMERICAN
INDIAN POPULATIONS SO WE FEEL
LIKE THESE POSITIONS WOULD BE
CRITICAL TO ENSURE THAT WE SEE
BETTER OUTCOMES FOR AMERICAN
INDIAN CHILDREN. AND WITH THAT
I WILL HAND IT BACK OVER TO MY
COLLEAGUE AND I KEEP A WHAT'S
FOR THE FOURTH ITEM UNDER THE
OFFICE. OF EQUITY BCPS. THANK

WE'RE REQUEST FOR. IMMIGRATION
SERVICES RAPID RESPONSE UNIT IS
TO ASSOCIATE GOVERNMENTAL
PROGRAM ANALYST HEPA. TO MEET
IMMIGRANT NEEDS GIVEN THE
ONGOING EMERGENCY TRACE

PANDEMIC AND THE BORDER
SITUATION IN RECENT WILDFIRES.
ARE CSS IMMIGRATION SERVICES
CREATED THE RAPID RESPONSE UNIT
IN FISCAL YEAR TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN TWENTY TO DEVELOP AND
IMPLEMENT DISASTER ASSISTANCE-
PRIMARILY FOR UNDOCUMENTED
RESIDENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY
FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED SERVICES.
CURRENTLY THIS UNIT HAS TO
LIMITED TERM STOCK POSITIONS
ONE MANAGER SPECIALIST AND ONE
ANALYST. USED TO ADDITIONAL
STAFF WOULD ALLOW THE RAPID
RESPONSE UNIT TO HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO DESIGN IMPLEMENT
AND MONITOR SEVERAL RESPONSE
INITIATIVES AT ONCE WITHOUT
HAVING TO TEMPORARILY BORROW
STAFF. FROM OUR OTHER
IMMIGRATION PROGRAMS THEMSELVES
CARRY A SIGNIFICANT WORKLOAD.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

PROPOSALS- AND HAVE NO
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS OKAY THANK

PROPITIATE THE PROPOSAL SET UP
PARTICULARLY AS CHAIR OF THE
API LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS-
LANGUAGE ACCESS TO HUGE BARRIER
TO PEOPLE GETTING SERVICES AND-
PREACH AND THE FACT THAT WE

CONCERNING CELL FREESHEET THAT

IMPROVE TRANSLATION THAT THAT
THE FARM SOCIAL SERVICES THANK

CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL COAST AND
CENTRAL VALLEY REGION'S REMOVAL
DEFENSE IS A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED
AREA OF THE LAW THAT HAS BEEN
CONSTANTLY CHANGING AND
BECOMING INCREASINGLY COMPLEX
OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
CALIFORNIA'S POOL OF EXPERIENCE
FOR MOBILE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IT
IS SMALL COMPARED TO THE DEMAND
FOR SERVICES AND WORLD REGIONS
OFTEN HAVE NO AVAILABLE
QUALIFIED ATTORNEYS LEAVING
THESE POPULATIONS VULNERABLE TO
FRAUD AND RECEIVING SUBPAR
IMMIGRATIONLEGAL SERVICES- THE
DEPARTMENT IS WORKING CLOSELY
WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO
IDENTIFY THE NEEDS BEST

DELIVERY MARK. WHAT WE'RE
FINDING TEN IN. THEFOLLOWS
WERE BEING HOST AT SEVEN
NONPROFIT FOR TWO YEARS TO
RECEIVE INTENSIVE REMOVAL
DEFENSE TRAINING AND MENTORING
AS WELL AS- PRACTICAL
EXPERIENCE SERVING WORLD.
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES- WE
SELECTED ONE NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION TO WRITE
IMMIGRATION LEGAL TRAINING AND
OVERSEE THE THREE OTHER
PARTNERS WILL BE PROVIDING THE

WE EXPECT THIS INVESTMENT WILL
INCREASE BOTH THE NUMBER OF
EXPERIENCE FOR MOBILE DEFENSE

OF THE HOST ORGANIZATIONS TO
ESTABLISH AN ONGOING REMOVAL
DEFENSE PRACTICE WITHIN THEIR

PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT WITH THE
DISCRETION TO RE ALLOCATE

HERE AT THE DEPARTMENT THE
BUREAU IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
MANAGING AND COORDINATING THE
DELIVERY OF BENEFITS AND
SERVICES TO THE REFUGEE
POPULATIONS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
COUNTIES AND LOCAL REFUGEE
SERVICE PROVIDERS. EVERY YEAR
THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF REFUGEE

CALIFORNIA BASED ON THE
PROJECTED NUMBER OF REFUGEE
CLAIMANTS ARRIVING TO THE STATE
PAYMENTS TO THE STATES ARE MADE

ALAMEDA LOS ANGELES ORANGE
SACRAMENTO SAN DIEGO SAN

THOSE IMPACTED COUNTIES.
ELIGIBLE COUNTIES ARE NOT
OBLIGATED TO ACCEPT THE
FINDINGS. CURRENTLY OUR WEEK
SECTION THIRTEEN TO SEVEN SIX
SPECIFIES HOW THAT FUNDING

ALLOCATION THE STATE WAS
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PROVIDE A
PROPORTIONAL ALLOCATION TO EACH

REGARD TO THE COUNTY'S ABILITY
TO STAND UP SERVICES QUICKLY OR

DEPARTMENT OF FLEXIBILITY
NEEDED TO USE RETURNED- ON USE
FUNDS TO TARGET IMMEDIATE.
NEEDS OF THE REFUGEE POPULATION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THE THING
FROM THE PART OF FINANCE I DO

DECLINE OR RETURN FUNDING. YES%
SOME SOME COUNTIES JUST DON'T
HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR
CONTRACTS TO AND THAT REQUESTED
SERVICE PROVIDERS CHANGE THOSE

SCOPE OF SERVICES QUICKLY.
SOMETIMES THEY DON'T HAVE A
KIND OF THAT CONTRACT
FLEXIBILITY AND OR THE
SPECIALIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS
IN THEIR AREA TO BE ABLE TO
SERVE THE SPECIFIC POPULATION
NEEDED. SO FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU
IF. OUR OUR WORD TO REQUEST TO
TURN COUNTY PROVIDE SERVICES TO

EQUIVALENT TO WHAT THEY WOULD
HAVE RECEIVED IN A FOSTER CARE
PLACEMENT. AND SOME BASIC CASE
MANAGEMENT SERVICES FROM. FROM
THE FROM THE COUNTY. WITH
RESPECT TO ASSISTANCE FOR
EMERGENCY CARE GIVERS THIS THIS
PROPOSAL IS VERY POOR PROPOSAL
ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT HAS-
FAMILIES ARE TRYING TO GET
APPROVED TO BECOME RESOURCE
FAMILIES THROUGH THE RESOURCE
FAMILY APPROVAL PROCESS.
JACOBSON AND ISSUES RELATED TO.
THE PANDEMIC THAT HAD MADE IT
DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO GO
THROUGH THIS THE SYSTEM AS
DESIGNED AS SMOOTHLY AS
DESIGNED AND THEREFORE- THIS IS
THIS PROPOSAL IS PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT TO OUR RELATIVE
CAREGIVERS WHO STEP UP TO- TO
ACCEPT A- MEMBER OF THEIR
FAMILY INTO THEIR THEIR CHAIR.
AS A RESULT OF AN EMERGENCY
THAT'S RELATED TO- THAT THAT
THE CHILD'S PARENTS AND SO THIS
PROPOSAL PER. FUNDS FUNDS THE
EMERGENCY- UP US PROVIDES
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO THE
CARE GIVERS WELL THEY ARE
MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THAT
RESOURCE FAMILY APPROVAL
PROCESS. WITH RESPECT TO
SUPPORT FOR RESOURCE FAMILIES
AGAIN THIS PROPOSAL SPEAKS TO
THE ABILITY AND THE NEED TO
PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES- THAT FOR FAMILIES
FOR RESOURCE FAMILIES FOSTER
PARENTS AND AT THE LIKE THAT
ARE. WHO IS YOUR WHO WHOSE
CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE ARE ARE
GRAPPLING WITH CODE RELATED
ISSUES AND SO THIS- THIS
PROPOSAL ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE-
THROUGH OUR COUNTY COLLEAGUES.
A NUMBER OF- OF FLEXIBLE
OPTIONS PROVIDE TO PROVIDE A
DISH RESOURCE TO DEAL WITH- THE
ISSUES ARE SO OFTEN ASSOCIATED
WITH QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION.
THERE'S A THERE'S A REQUEST FOR
FUNDING FOR STATE ADMINISTERED
CONTRACTS AS WELL AND SIMILARLY
AS AS WE DID IN THE SPRING WHAT
WE'RE PROPOSING HERE IS TO
CONTINUE SOME OF THE CONTRACTS
THAT SUPPORT. FAMILIES IN
DIFFERENT WAYS SPECIFICALLY
THERE IS A REQUEST FOR
RESOURCES TO CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT THE- THE WARM WINDS
THAT WE THAT WE STOOD UP SOME
TIME AGO- THERE'S FUNDING FOR-
SOME CONTRACTS WE USED TO.
DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH WITH
CARE GIVERS AROUND THEIR THEIR
NEEDS- THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS
THIS ALSO ALLOWS US TO WORK
WITH THEM IN A NUMBER OF
ORGANIZATIONS TO CONTINUE TO
PROTECT TECHNOLOGY IN THE HANDS
OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM
FOR OR I DISTANCE LEARNING AND
FOR TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
TELEHEALTH AND OTHER OTHER
SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE
REQUESTED THIS TO. US ACCORDING
AT RISK FAMILIES THROUGH THE
THROUGH THE FAMILY RESOURCE
CENTER SO IF YOU MAY RECALL
FROM THE THIS SPRING- THERE IS
A HUNDRED OVER A HUNDRED
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FAMILIES
SERVED WITH THAT YOU KNOW
DIRECTLY TO SERVICES AND SOME.
REFERRALS TO STATE AND FEDERAL
PROGRAMS THAT ARE RELATED TO
THE PANDEMIC RESPONSE- THROUGH
OUR FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS
THAT THAT THAT FUNDING- WAS ONE
WAS A TIME LIMITED WE'RE
SUGGESTING THAT GIVEN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS THAT WE-
CONTINUE. TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
GOODS AND SERVICES THROUGH THAT
THE NETWORK OF FAMILY RESOURCE
CENTERS ARE BOTH IN THE BUDGET
YEAR AND IN THE CURRENT YEAR.
WE ALSO ARE SO DOES THE
PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES FINDING
IT- REQUEST FOR FUNDING TO
SUPPORT DIRECTLY SUPPORT ASK AT
RISK FAMILIES KNOWN TO THE
CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM TO AVOID
THEIR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE COMING
INTO FOSTER CARE. AND SO- THIS
IS THIS IS A CURRENT YEAR ONLY
PROPOSAL IN THE- IN THE- IN THE
BUDGET. SIMILAR TO. THE
ACTIVITIES WEEK THAT TOOK PLACE
IN THE SPRING WE'RE SUGGESTING
THAT WE PROVIDE A DIRECT
FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO- TO
FAMILIES. THROUGH THROUGH THE
THROUGH THE USE OF- OUR TO
MEDIUM OF A PREPAID CARDS AND
SO THIS WOULD PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THOSE
FAMILIES TO ADDRESS NEEDS THAT-
MAY HAVE RESULTED AS A RESULT
OF. LOSING THEIR JOB OR OTHER-
OTHER FINANCIAL PRESSURES THAT
THEY MAY. THEY MAY SEE. SO
THAT'S THE OVERVIEW OF THE- OF
THE VARIOUS- OF PROPOSALS THAT
ARE KIND OF BUNDLED UP INTO
INTO THE CHART ON- ON PAGE
SIXTEEN. THE NEXT QUESTION IN
THE AGENDA SPEAKS TO- ONE OF
THE FUNDING- THAT WE HADN'T HAD
LAST YEAR FOR SIMILAR
CIRCUMSTANCES. QUESTION
SPECIFICALLY ASKS. YES- IF
COUNTY CONTINUED. TO DO THOSE
WORK THAT WORK AND SO-HOW IS
IT FUNDED. GIVEN THE LIMITED
THAT THOUGH THE LITTLE THE ONE
TIME NATURE OF THE LIMITED THE
TIME SHOP THE TIME THAT THE
TIME LIMITED NATURE OF THE
FUNDING AT THAT WAS PROVIDED IN
THE SPRING OF MOST OF THOSE
MOST OF THE PROGRAMS WERE
ACTUALLY ADMINISTERED BY THE
DEPARTMENT WITH SUBSTANTIAL
SUPPORT- THROUGH A COUNTY CHILD
WELFARE. THE COUNTY CHILD
WELFARE WORKERS FORCED. THESE
THESE. THESE PROGRAMS DID- DO
YOU SEE SAID DAD WILL WIN THE
FUNDING LAST DAY AT WORK AS
LONG AS THE FUNDING TERM WAS
TERMINATED OR AS THE FUNDING
RAN OUT OF BASED ON IT'S TIME
LIMITED NATURE THAT SAID THERE
WAS A COUPLE OF A COUPLE OF
ITEMS THAT DID CONTINUE ONE WAS
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THE
DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO
REPURPOSE SOME RESOURCES TO
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE WARM
WIND THAT. THAT CREEK THAT
PROVIDED SUPPORT TO FAMILIES IN
THE COMMUNITY AND DIRECTLY
RECALL REFERRED THEM TO OTHER
RESOURCES INCLUDING- THAT
CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDED DIRECT-
SUPPORT GROUPS FOR A NUMBER OF
FAMILIES- DURING THAT TIME
PERIOD IN THE SPRING THAT HAS
CONTINUED ON THE OTHER THE
OTHER ISSUES THE OTHER ITEM
THAT HAS CONTINUED WITHOUT WAS
KING IT IS CONTINUING AS WE
SPEAK WAS AS A RESULT OF THE
BUDGET ACTIVE- LAST YEAR SO
THAT WE ARE. CONTINUING. TO
SUPPORT- THE R. FINANCIAL
SOMETIME NEED TO OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE THAT WOULD HAVE A OUT OF
OUR- FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.
CHINESE ARE FUNDED ALSO TO
PROVIDE SOME CASE MANAGEMENT
TO. TO THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE. BY
MY COLLEAGUE JUSTIN FREITAS
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
WILL. TAKE ON QUESTION THREE
SECTION THANK YOU THANK YOU. GO
AHEAD PLEASE. YES JUST A TRACE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- I
BELIEVE THE QUESTIONS RELATED
TO THE CURRENT YEAR FUNDING AND
WHAT MECHANISM THE
ADMINISTRATION WAS INTENDING TO
USE TO GET THOSE RESOURCES OUT
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON NON
IDENTIFYING AN APPROPRIATE-
VESSEL OR METHOD TO GET THOSE
AYE RESOURCES OUT AND AS- WE
DETERMINE WHAT WILL REACH OUT
AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE
LEGISLATURE WITH. WHICH CAPITAL
GO. I WOULD HOPE SO OKAY. THE
DENTAL FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE OKAY HELLO. PLEASE THE
SHORT GOOD AFTERNOON- ANGELA
SHORT WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY PARTICULAR CONCERNS WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED
ACTIONS FOR COVERT RESPONSE
WITHIN CHILD WELFARE AS YOU
HEARD THESE PROPOSALS- WOULD
ALL BE CONTINUING OR OR RE
LAUNCHING ACTIVITIES THAT
HAPPENED EARLIER IN TWENTY
TWENTY AND THAT SIR VERY
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITHIN
THE CHILD WELFARE SSTEM.
RATHER OUR QUESTIONS ARE
REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION
PROCESS AND OUR QUESTIONS
REFLECT- THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE
ALSO INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA SO
SPECIFICALLY- IF THE
LEGISLATURE DOES WANT TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSALS IN
THE CURRENT YEAR WHAT WOULD BE
THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED
MECHANISM TO DO SO I WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH.
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES-
TO UNDERSTAND THAT MECHANISM
AND- BE IN CONTACT WITH ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS- AND JUST.
ONE OTHER QUESTION WE HAVE IS-
IF THE LEGISLATURE MAY WISH TO
CONSIDER ANY ADDITIONAL
PANDEMIC SUPPORT NEEDS WITHIN
CHILD WELFARE BEYOND WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS PROPOSED A
FOR EXAMPLE THE LEGISLATURE MAY
WISH TO CONSIDER- FUNDING SOME
DIRECT SUPPORT FOR ALL RESOURCE
FAMILIES. AND A SHORT TERM
RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC PROGRAM
PROVIDERS WHO HAVE BEEN
IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC. THANK
pI'D I'D SAY I AGREE I THINK
THAT THERE COULD HAVE PLANS BUT
WE NEED TO DETAILS OF THE PLANS
AND HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA-
EXECUTE THEM- IT AND AS FAR AS-
IT I UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE
NOT PLAN. ON DOING- MORE DIRECT
PAYMENTS DEFEND AT RISK OF
FOSTER CARE IN TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO. AND CAN WE GET SOME
DATE ON ON HOW WAS IT AFFECTED
IT HELP FAMILIES AND BECAUSE
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE WANT
TO CONTINUE ON. EVEN FURTHER
OUT. WITH RESPECT TO YOUR LAST
QUESTION AGAIN GREG ROSE FROM
THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES. WE DID A SERVICE
SERVE A LITTLE OVER TWENTY ONE
THOUSAND FAMILIES LAST YEAR IN
IN IN THE SPRING WITH THAT WITH
THAT PREPAID CARDS. AND WE ARE
CERTAINLY WELCOME. INTERESTED
IN PROVIDING A U. N. STAFF WITH
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATIVE
TO ITS EFFECTIVENESS IT'S A
LITTLE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT THE DIRECT CASH.
PAYMENTS TO HOUSEHOLDS-
DIRECTLY AFFECTED THAT THEIR
RETURN TO. THE CHILD SAFETY
SAFETY AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT
YOUNG PERSON WOULD HAVE ENDED
UP IN FOSTER CARE OR NOT THERE
ARE MANY OTHER CONTRIBUTING
FACTORS BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO
PROVIDE THE INFORMATION THAT-
THAT WE DO HAVE. TO STAFF.
AFTER THE HEARING THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND HOW ABOUT FOR A
FOSTER FOSTER CHILDREN SELVES
AGING OUT OF THE SYSTEM. BUT WE
PLAN ON A LONGER BREAK BUT
ASIDE TWENTY FOR THAT. THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IS BOTH THE
ASK IS BOTH THE CURRENT YEAR
AND A BUDGET YEAR PROPOSAL
THROUGH THE END OF THE CALENDAR
YEAR. DISCOUNTING OKAY SAID
SOMETHING WILL COME BACK TO
DOCTOR. THANK YOU- SO I GUESS
MY QUESTION IS THAT BECAUSE WE
ARE BUDGET IS ACTUALLY FOR JULY
THROUGH JUNE- MORE BUDGETING
FUNDS THROUGH THE MID MIDDLE OF
THAT FISCAL YEAR WHAT IS THE
PLAN FOR THE OTHER HALF OF THAT
FISCAL YEAR IS A JUST A CLIFF
STUFF HAPPENS OR IS THE
ADMINISTRATION PLAN TO COME
BACK TO US OR IS IT GONNA BE
ROOM. NAY REVISED WE LOOKING AT
SOME SORT OF THING- SO I'M JUST
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER ON JANUARY FIRST
OF TWENTY TWENTY TWO WHEN WE
ARE STILL NURSE SAME FISCAL
YEAR BUT WE HAVE NOTHING
BUDGETED FOR BEYOND THAT- IS
THAT SOMETHING YOU PLAN TO COME
BACK TO US LATER FOR THE
BUDGET. OR. JUSTIN REYES
PROVIDE AT THIS TIME. WHAT
WHAT'S INCLUDED GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET IS PLAN DOES HE SAID FOR
SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THROUGH
JANUARY OF- TWENTY THREE TWO TO
THE EXTENT OF ANYTHING REALLY
CHANGED WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
SEE THAT AND REVERSION BACK
THIS TIME- NOTHING CLOSE BEYOND
WHAT'S INCLUDED GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. OKAY SO I HOPE THAT
WILL AT LEAST HAVE MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN AND THAT TRANSITION
WHICH THAT'S MIDWAY THROUGH OUR
FISCAL YEAR SO WE WON'T HAVE SO
WITH THE- WE DID SOMETHING FOR
THE NEXT. BUDGET THAT'S A SIX
MONTH GAP SO. THE DAILY TO HAVE
SOME. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THAT. THAT
THAT PERIOD OF TIME IS IT THERE
WE JUST OF THE SAYING THAT. THE
END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR JUST
CUT OFF AND- THEY'LL BE FINE OR
IS THERE SOME SORT OF
ASSESSMENT IS GOING TO BE DONE
OR SOME. SOME NATURE. BUT MOST
OF THOSE THINGS REQUIRE
RESOURCES SELL WIDE SIDE DECKS
THE HOPEFULLY IN YOUR NEXT
PROPOSAL- THERE'S GOING TO BE
SOME WAY TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION ABOUT. IT IS JUST
LITERALLY A PROPOSAL IS THAT ON
DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. EVEN JUST DANCE.
OKAY WE EXPECT A RESPONSE UNDER
BROWN OR YOU JUST WANNA MAKE
THE WELL I GUESS I GUESS I
EXPECT THE RESPONSE AND THAT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT NOW
BUT- HOPEFULLY WHEN THIS WHEN
WE FINALLY ACTUALLY VOTE ON
THINGS- WE WILL HAVE A RESPONSE
TO THAT. EVEN GOOD TO HAVE A
RESPONSE BEFORE WE VOTE. OKAY

WILLIAMS MILLION OF DATA ENTRY-
DATA ENTRIES AND DATA. BOTH
WALLACE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA
EACH YEAR. AS AS WE HAVE BECOME

OTHERS HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE.
INTERESTED IN DATA DRIVEN

HE OF HIGH QUALITY IN ORDER TO

BEST POSSIBLE WAY. ADDITIONALLY
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS

OF AUTHORIZATIONS FOR VARIOUS
EXPENDITURES WITHIN THE- THAT
WHAT. INFORMATION THAT'S WITHIN
THE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM- AND
SO BY GETTING THIS THIS REQUEST
IS- TO CONTINUE TO WORK THAT
ONE UNIT. HEADED BY A MANAGER
FOR ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN DOING-
TO IMPROVE OUR DATA QUALITY WE
SEE THIS IS ONGOING WORK AND
THEREFORE. THE NEW IS WE'RE
ASKING FOR NEED TO BE FROM
JEOPARDY TO OUR- THANK YOU.
THERE IS A QUESTION A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS ALSO IF I COULD- AS A
SERVICE HE ADDED WITH THE WITH
THIS ISSUE IN THE IN THE
AGENDA- ONE OF WHICH IS ACCESS
TO SPEAK TO A RESOURCES THAT
WERE RECENTLY PROVIDED TO THE
DEPARTMENT BY THE JOINT
LEGISLATIVE BUDGET COMMITTEE AS
PART OF OUR- WORK CHIU RETURNED
A YOUNG PEOPLE TO- TO.
CALIFORNIA THAT HAD BEEN IN.
HOW TO STATE RESIDENTIAL
PROGRAMS IN THE QUESTION
SPECIFICALLY ASKS HOW WILL THE
REQUESTED POSITIONS HELP IN
SERVING MONITORING THE ISSUE
THAT WATER DEPARTMENTS PLAN
SURE ISSUES ARE CARED FOR IN
THE FUTURE AND WOULD WE KNOW
TOO THAT- THE P. C. P. THAT I
DESCRIBED EARLIER THAT THAT THE
CHILDREN SERVICES POLICY AND
PROGRAM SUPPORT THE C. P. IS
THERE ARE SOME OF THE RESOURCES
THAT WE- ARE. WOULD BE NEEDED
TO CONTINUE THE WORK THAT WE
STARTED WITH THE OUT OF STATE-
HOME- REPATRIATION WORK.
SPECIFICALLY THE WORK THAT WE
DID WAS BUILT ON THAT TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE PROCESS THAT THE-
CURRENCIES THE OUR BRANCH HAD
DEVELOPED AND REFINED TO OUR TO
SUPPORT. COUNTIES IN IN
LOCATING PLACEMENTS FOR YOUNG
YOUNG PEOPLE WITH COMPLEX NEEDS
AND IT WAS THAT PROCESS- THAT.
COMBINATION WITH SOME REALLY
IMPORTANT CONTRACT BINDING THE
HATCH THAT ALLOWED US TO BRING
BACK THE HUNDRED AND THIRTY OR
SO YOUNG PEOPLE TO CALIFORNIA-
WITH PLANS THAT WERE UNIQUELY
TAILORED TO THEIR NEEDS AND SO
SOME OF THESE RESOURCES FROM
THAT BCP WOULD. DO OUR TO THE
QUESTIONS YOU ASK CLEARLY WE
ARE OUR WORK AS SHE HAS IT IS
TRANSITIONING FROM BRINGING
YOUNG PEOPLE BACK TO CALIFORNIA
IN TWO. KEEPING THEIR- MEETING
THEIR NEEDS AND THE PLACEMENT
THERE OUR OR ADJUSTING THEIR
PLACEMENT TO MEET THEIR NEEDS
AND SO. THAT THE WORK THAT THE
CCR BRANCH HAS BEEN DOING WITH.
WITH THESE RESOURCES ALSO WILL.
MARQUISATE NEED IS NEEDED TO
CONTINUE THAT THE WORK FROM
TRANSITIONING TO SUPPORT OF
PLACEMENT PRESERVATION FOR
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE THE LAST
QUESTION IS WHAT WE IN THE WEST
APARTMENTS PLANNED TO ENSURE
THESE YOUTHS ARE CARED FOR IN
THE FUTURE OBVIOUSLY THERE IS-
THAT THAT. THERE IS THERE'S A
LOT TO ANALYZE IT TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND SO WE'RE CONTINUING
TO ASSESS THE NEEDS AND THE
SERVICES FOR THIS POPULATION IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE WORK OUT
OF OUR IT HAS BEEN STARTED
THROUGH OUR WORK WITH. EIGHTY
TWENTY EIGHTY THREE THAT WAS
PASSED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE
BY JANET SITES SOME ARE GAPS IN
OUR SERVICE ARRAY- AND WE WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THAT PROCESS
AND THROUGH DILIGENT MONITORING
AND SUPPORT OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE
THAT WERE RECENTLY RETURNED TO
CALIFORNIA. TO CONTINUE TO
REFINE OUR- OUR SERVICE ARRAY.
AND THE MANNER IN WHICH WE
PROVIDE SERVICES TO THIS
POPULATION. THE THIRD QUESTION
IN THIS SECTION HAS TO DO WITH
THE ON BUDGET AND HIS
RELATIONSHIP TO PLACEMENT
STABILITY. THROUGH THE PASSAGE-
YEAH I THINK THEY'RE OFTEN
THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF EIGHTY
TWO TWO FOUR SEVEN AND SO WITH
WITH RESPECT TO THE THIS
QUESTION AND- I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT- YES I
THINK THAT'S I THINK I SAID
EARLIER THERE THERE HAS BEEN A
GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST FROM
MANY. ON PLACEMENT STABILITY
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS INCLUDE
AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF-
RECENT BUDGET ACTIONS AND SOME
LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS THAT THAT
THAT- FOCUSED ON THE CONTINUE
TO FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF.
HAVING YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE
STABILITY IN THEIR LIVES. THE
OFFICE OF THE AUTHOR OF THE
FOSTER CARE OMBUDSMAN WAS
ESTABLISHED IN NINETEEN NINETY
EIGHT AT. THE TONE OF THIS
ENTITY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT-
HAS RECEIVED IN THE LAST. TWO
FISCAL YEAR IS AN INCREASE OF
OVER FOUR HUNDRED AND 22% WHAT
OF COMPLAINTS RELATIVES TO.
FOSTER FOSTER CARE. PLACEMENT
STABILITY SOME OF THAT HAS TO
DO WITH THE CHANGE OF LAW FROM-
THE SO CALLED SEVEN DAY NOTICE
TO THE FOURTEEN DAY NOTICE AND
ALSO SOME OF THE LAW ALSO
REQUIRES A NUMBER. OF PLACEMENT
PRESERVATION STRATEGIES TO BE
IN PLACE PRIOR TO- UP. TO
PROVIDE A NOTICE THAT THE YOUNG
PERSON. NEEDS TO NEEDS A NEW
PLACE TO LIVE AND SO THE OFFICE
OFFICE HAS BEEN RECEIVING THOSE
CALLS HAS BEEN WORKING WITH
THE- WITH THE THAT THE COUNTIES
WHERE THAT THAT- WHERE THE
COMPLAINTS ORIGINATED IN. AND
THEY ARE- WORKING ALSO WITH
THAT PRIVATE FOSTER FAMILY
AGENCIES IN MAKING SURE THAT
THE OF A CHILD A FAMILY TEAMS.
ARE ARE OCCURRING AS AS
REQUIRED AND THAT A NUMBER OF-
STABILITY- PRACTICES HAVE BEEN
TRIED AND- IT BASS OF ANY
NOTICE AND SO THE FOSTER CARE
ASA FOSTER CARE OMBUDSMAN- WELL
IT'S DIFFICULT TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HOW
THE HOW. HAS ITS WORK DIRECTLY
RESULTED IN- IN PLAY IN THE GYM
CHANGE IN PLACEMENT STABILITY
CERTAINLY FOR THEIR CASES IN
WHICH THE FOSTER CARE
OMBUDSMAN'S OFFICE IS. IT IS
DIRECTLY. WORK FOCUSING ON WE
HAVE SEEN ANOTHER OF POSITIVE
PRESS- AND I THINK I'LL
CONCLUDE MY REMARKS WITH THANK

PLACEMENT OF CHILDREN. AS WELL

RESPECT TO- THAT THE NEXT
QUESTION YOU ASKED. WAS- WELL
THIS IS TO ABOUT FAMILY
PRESERVATION AND FAMILY- AND
FAMILIES MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS.
LET ME LET ME JUMP INTO THOSE-
IF I CAN BE BOTH OF THESE
PROGRAMS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE
AND FAMILY PRESERVATION ARE IN
ESSENCE OPTIONAL PLAN OPTIONAL
PROGRAMS- FOR COUNTIES TO
ADMINISTER SAID I'LL STATE AND
WANTED A TIME IF I MAY BE THE-
FAMILY MAINTENANCE. PROGRAM
CURRENTLY HAS 240-009-0060
THREE CHILDREN BEING SERVED IN
A THESE ARE THESE ARE CHILDREN
BEING SERVED IN IN THE FAMILY
UP THERE IN THE HOME OF THEIR
BIOLOGICAL FAMILY TO CLEAN THE
SERVICES ARE ABOUT SIX MONTHS
IN DURATION ALTHOUGH THEY CAN
GO. UP TO A YEAR- THESE
SERVICES ARE- SOMETIMES COURT
ORDERED AND SOMETIMES VOLUNTARY
AND THEY'RE USED TO IT TO
STABILIZE THE FAMILY AND
ADDRESS CHALLENGES THAT MAY BE.
IMPACTING SAFETY. SOMETIMES
ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE TIME
THESE THIS THIS PROGRAM IS USED
AS- KIND OF A- AFTER THE CHILD
HAS BEEN REUNIFIED FROM FOSTER
CARE WITH THAT WITH THEIR
PARENTS. I'M STANDING AND
SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO THE
FAMILY- TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
THE REUNIFICATION PROCESSES ARE
ARE SUPPORT. I SHOULD NOTE ALSO
THAT TITLE FOR B. AND THE
SOCIAL SECURITY ACT AS THE
PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE FOR THIS
PROGRAM AND IT'S A IT'S A IT'S
A IT'S A FUNDING SOURCE THAT
COUNTIES USUALLY GOES- CLAIM IN
ITS ENTIRETY. BEFORE THE END OF
THE SECOND QUARTER AND MAKES UP
ABOUT 1% OF THE TOTAL CHILD
WELFARE SERVICES ON TO GRADUATE
FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WITH
RESPECT TO FAN PRESERVATION
THEIR WEB PROGRAMS THERE WAS.
ABOUT TWENTY YEARS AGO A LITTLE
ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY OVER TWENTY
YEARS AGO THERE WAS A STATE
FAMILY PRESERVATION PROGRAM
THAT WAS INITIATED BY STATUTE.
THE SHORT WINDOW OF TIME FOR
CAN'T FOR COUNTIES TO KIND OF
INNOCENCE OCT INTO FOURTEEN
COUNTIES DID OPT INTO THAT
PROGRAM. BACK IN IN THOSE DAYS.
THE FUNDING WAS REALIGNED INTO
THE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN
REALIGNMENT AND- THAT SEVENTEEN
MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND
FOURTEEN THOUSAND- IS USED TO
MATCH SOME FEDERAL FUNDS FOR
PREVENTION AND- EARLY
INTERVENTION AND POST ADOPTIVE
SERVICES. THE SERVICES IN THE
IN THE FAMILY PRESERVATION
PROGRAM THAT THE FOURTEEN
COUNTIES ARE OPERATE. INCLUDE
THINGS LIKE COUNSELING-
SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT-
PARENTING SOME RESPITE SOME
DAYS STATE TREATMENT
TRANSPORTATION HOW MAKING A
WHOLE HOST OF THINGS THAT WOULD
MAKE. MAKE IT- MAKE IT POSSIBLE
FOR- FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE OVER
BURDENED TO BE SUPPORTED TO
KEEP THEIR CHILDREN. IN THE
HOME. THE LAST QUESTION IN THIS
SECTION HOW TO DO WITH- POWELL
PRESIDENT HOW WILL THE FAMILY
FIRST PRESERVATION SERVICES
THAT ENABLE CALIFORNIA TO- MORE
CONTENT HELLO MORE COMPLETE
CONTINUING. CONTINUING THE
SERVICES FOR CHILDREN SHOULD
NOTE THAT. THE THAT THE ACT IS
IN AS I THINK MISTER FREEZE
DESCRIBED EARLIER IS IN TWO
PARTS THE WASHINGTON SEPARATE
PARTS TO OUR REALLY REALLY
GERMANE TO THIS DISCUSSION.
WITH HER AND WITH IT IN THE
BUDGET. ONE IS THE PREVENTION
SERVICES ACT IN PART FOR IS
THAT CONGREGATE CARE PIECE WITH
RESPECT TO THE US THE
PREVENTION SERVICES PIECE IT'S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- A LOT OF
THOSE- THIS OPTIONAL PROGRAM TO
BE IMPLEMENTED BY STATES AN
AVERAGE AND JURISDICTIONS. AND
FROM A POP ON A POLICY BASIS
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IS
THE FIRST TIME THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAD OUT OUTSIDE OF
ANY CHILD WELFARE WAIVER
DEMONSTRATION PROJECT HAS
ALLOWED FOR. FEDERAL FUNDS THAT
ARE TYPICALLY USED FOR CARE AND
SUPERVISION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN
FOSTER CARE TO BE. USED FOR-
PREVENTION INTERFOR CARES WHEN
WE THE PREVENTION IN THE FAMILY
FIRST PREVENTION SERVICES ACT
IS PREVENTION INTO FOSTER CARE
IT'S NOT. PREVENTION CHILD
ABUSE PREVENTION IN A PUBLIC
HEALTH. STANDPOINT LIKE PRIMARY
PREVENTION OR SECOND YEAR. SO
THAT. IT DOES ALLOW US. ADDED
TO. THE STATE OUR COUNTY WITH
OUR COUNTY COLLEAGUES
IMPLEMENTING TO FOR THE FIRST
TIME TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THESE SERVICES- FOR- SERVICES
TO PREVENT CHILDREN GOING INTO
FOSTER CARE. CONGRESS HAS
ATTACHED TO MANY STRINGS TO
THESE FUNDS- THAT INCLUDED-
THAT ONLY CERTAIN PROPORTIONS
OF EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES ARE
IDENTIFIED BY FEDERAL CLEARING
HOUSE CAN BE USED. AND IT ALSO
REQUIRES REQUIRES- THAT THE
THAT STATES TO IMPLEMENT THE
STANDARD OF- OF. CANDIDACY FOR
FOSTER CARE WITCHING WHICH WILL
REQUIRES THAT YOUNG PEOPLE
WOULD BE I AM AT RISK SO IT
DOES ALLOW OUR PREVENTIONS ARE
PREVENTION AND EARLY
INTERVENTION SHOULD JUST TO
STRETCH A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE
BIT MORE TOWARDS PREVENTION BUT
THIS IS CERTAINLY NO- ARTICLED
AT THE END OF A RAINBOW BUT IT
IS. IMPORTANT POLICY CHANGES AT
THE FEDERAL LEVEL. RESPECTIVE
PARK FOR THEIR I THINK OF. IT
ALSO ALLOWS US TO THINK ABOUT A
MORE COMPLETE CONTINUUM OF CARE
IN IS IN THAT ONE OF THE
PROVISIONS AND PARKS FOR IS. IT
ONE OF THE PROVISIONS IN PART
FOR IS A- QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL
NEEDS TO MAKE. MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION FOR A YOUNG
PERSON TO ENTER INTO CONCRETE
CARE IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES
THEY NEED TO IT IS IT THEY NEED
TO OFFERA KIND OF THE CLINICAL
OPINION ABOUT WHETHER CONGRESS
HERE MAKES THE MOST SENSE OR IF
THERE ARE OTHER COMMUNITY BASED
SERVICES THAT SHOULD BE.
EMPLOYED IN ADVANCE OF THAT AND
SO THIS THIS PROCESS WITH A
LITTLE WITH A- EIGHTY EIGHT IT
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AS PART OF
THE OF THE DETERMINATION TO
GOING INTO OUT OF HOME CARE.
AND WITH THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S LIMITATION ON.
YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE CONDITIONS
IN WHICH YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BE
PLACED IN CONGREGATE CARE ALSO
WILL HELP. PUT SOME EMPHASIS ON
THE ON THE SUPPORTED BUILDING
OF COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES.
SIMILARLY THE PROVISION OF THE
AFTER CARE PROVISION IN THE IN
THE LAW. ALLOWS FOR ACTUALLY
REQUIRES FOR. THE PROVISION OF
AFTER CARE SERVICES AFTER
EIGHTY EIGHT PLACEMENT EPISODE
AND A SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL
THERAPEUTIC PROGRAM OR AS
THEY'RE KNOWN IN SEVERAL. AND
THESE AFTER CARE SERVICES
LARGELY BEING CONCEPTUALIZED
AFTER OUR WRAPAROUND MODEL.
AGAIN HAVE THESE THESE HIGH
QUALITY AND INTENSIVE SERVICES.
MORE AFFORDABLE AND AVAILABLE
TO BE PROVIDED IN A NUMBER OF
SETTING SO. INTO TOTALITY I
THINK THE FAMILY THIRDS
PREVENTION SERVICE ACT DOES
PROVIDE US WITH A BIT MORE
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD OUT THE
CONTINUE CARE ON AS WE HAVE
TALKED ABOUT OVER THE YEARS.
WITH THAT I THINK THAT
CONCLUDES MY- MY REMARKS TO
THIS SECTION OF. ANSWER
QUESTIONS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
ANYTHING ELSE MISTER FREEZE
FROM THE PART OF FINANCE. CHAU
CON AND HAD JUST OPENED FOR ANY
QUESTIONS. IF NEEDED OKAY
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST OFFICE
PLEASE. THANK YOU- DENTAL SHORT
WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE- REGARDING THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FEDERAL
FAMILY FIRST PREVENTION
SERVICES ACT OF PSA- WITH THE
UPCOMING FEDERAL DEADLINE OF
OCTOBER FIRST- TO IMPLEMENT NEW
CONGREGATE CARE REQUIREMENTS.
WE EXPECT TO SEE PROPOSED
LEGISLATION DETAILING HOW THIS
IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION WILL
OCCUR- AS WE'VE HEARD TODAY
THAT LEGISLATION IS NOT YET
AVAILABLE BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE
THAT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON-
IN ADVANCE OF RECEIVING THAT
LANGUAGE SO AND BEING ABLE TO
REVIEW IT. MANY OF OUR INITIAL
QUESTIONS ABOUT FF PSA
IMPLEMENTATION- REALLY ARE MORE
TECHNICAL FOR EXAMPLE DEPUTY
DIRECTOR ROSE MENTIONED- A
QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE
APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATENESS OF
CONGREGATE CARE PLACEMENTS NOW
WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT- WHO
WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO FILL THIS
ROLE- WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR
IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING THE
IS QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS WHAT
IS THE PLAN FOR TRAINING THEM.
ETCETERA WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT
MANY OF THESE MORE TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN
UPCOMING LANGUAGE AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
TO ENSURE WE FULLY UNDERSTANDS
THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ONCE IT'S AVAILABLE. AND THEN
REGARDING- ACTIVITIES AIMED AT
PREVENTING ENTRY INTO FOSTER
CARE WHICH AGAIN- AS WAS NOTED
THESE ACTIVITIES WILL BE NEWLY
ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL TITLE FOR
YOU FUNDING ONCE THE STATE HAS
COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS
CONGREGATE CARE REQUIREMENTS-
AGAIN WE HAVE A NUMBER. OF
QUESTIONS THERE BUT WE DO
ANTICIPATE THAT FORTHCOMING
LANGUAGE- WILL HELP ADDRESS OUR
QUESTIONS- BUT FOR EXAMPLE- ONE
OF OUR INITIAL QUESTIONS AS
WHETHER OR NOT- ANY GENERAL
FUND FUNDING WOULD BE PROVIDED
TO HELP COUNTIES- IT. INITIALLY
IMPLEMENTED ANY OF THESE NEW
ACTIVITIES BUT AGAIN- ONE. THE
LANGUAGE IS A BILL WE WILL BE
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND WE
WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE-
COMMITTEE STAFF TO COMMUNICATE
FURTHER QUESTIONS AT THAT TIME
THANK YOUNG. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND I GUESS I WILL- I WILL
DO I WILL- JUST JOIN WITH THE
L. A. O. AND SAYING WE COULD
ASK A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS AND
TECHNICAL ISSUES BUT I THINK IT
DELUDE BEST IF WE CAN REACT TO
THE PLAN ONCE IT'S PRESENTED.
AND I WOULD JUST SAY IT'S GONNA
BE BY OCTOBER AND WE'RE NOT
COMPLIANCE SO. THAT I
UNDERSTAND IS A PANDEMIC BUT AS
AS EFFICIENTLY AS WE CAN
DEVELOP THAT. AND BEEN WORKING
WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTNERS
TO MAKE SURE CENTER KIND OF
BEHIND THE CLOCK HERE THAT WE
DON'T LEAVE THINGS OUT. DR
GRANT. I GUESS THAT JUST
BRIEFLY- IN TERMS OF THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE F. F. PSA
IT IS THIS GONNA IS THE
ADMINISTRATION'S INTENT IS TO
DO THIS PURELY THROUGH THE
BUDGET PROCESS OR IS THERE A
POLICY COMPONENT THEY'LL BE
COMING FOR THE COMMITTEE ON
HUMAN SERVICES. TWO GUYS THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION- CENTER
PANTSUIT THIS IS GOING TO BE-
POLICY PROCESS THROUGH THE
BUDGETS- THAT'S WHY WE ARE
ANTICIPATING HAVING THE TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE. THE COMPANY IN
THIS TO YOU VERY SHORTLY- BUT
THERE WILL NOT BE A POLICY AS A
SEPARATE NON FISCAL POLICY
BILL. IT'LL BE DISCUSSED THE
BUDGET IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S
PROPOSAL. OKAY. I CAN CERTAINLY
UNDERSTAND SOME OF WHY THAT'S
THE CASE YES- YES THEY DO HAVE
SOME CONCERN BECAUSE THERE'S
SOME SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH
AND I KNOW WE WORKED VERY HARD
ON OUR CONTINUES CARE REFORM
BEFORE AND THERE WAS A
SUBSTANTIAL BODY OF WORK THAT
WAS DONE NOT ONLY BY
ADMINISTRATION ALSO BY THE
LEGISLATURE- I THINK PRIOR TO
THIS ADMINISTRATION. SO AS THE-
YOU KNOW I AS THE PROCESS MOVES
ALONG I THINK IT WOULD BE
IMPORTANT TO. ALSO ENGAGE THE
POLICY CAN BE A CERTAIN LEVEL
IN TERMS OF REVIEWING SOMEOF
THE PROPOSED CHANGES THAT ARE
COMING THROUGH I REALIZE
THERE'S A TIME ISSUE- BUT- I
JUST WANT TO BE. SURE THAT WERE
WERE VETTING THIS POLICY
PROPOSALS THOROUGHLY VETTED THE
ORIGINAL CON CONTINUE OF CARE
REFORM PROPOSALS AND- IS WE'RE
GOING THROUGH THIS SO. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU DR PAN- AND SO I
GUESS I WOULD ASK IN LIGHT OF
THE- IT'S GOING TO THE BUDGET
WHEN DO YOU THINK WE'LL HAVE
THAT LANGUAGE AND ARE THERE ANY
DRAFTS AVAILABLE FOR US AT THAT
TIME AT THIS TIME THAT WE CAN
START LOOKING AT. JUST REYES.
YES ACTUALLY ADAM WE ANTICIPATE
HAVING. FINALIZED LANGUAGE
THERE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
WARNED TO SPENDING TODAY- BUT I
DO WE DO HAVE- DRAFT LANGUAGE
THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH WITH THE
LEGISLATION EL AL. THE
DOCUMENTS DID IT BE BECAUSE
GOING THROUGH THE BUDGET WITH
NO LEGISLATION IS EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT THAT WE REALLY
UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS OF THE
FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE.
ESPECIALLY AS CHANGES RELATED
TO CHANGES. OKAY SO LET'S MOVE
ON TO ISSUE NUMBER SEVEN
APPROVED RELATIVE CARE GIVING
FUNDING ELIGIBILITY. THANK YOU
