CWS compared to CalWORKs
When the Linkages Project began in California, many county directors believed CalWORKs was better funded than CWS.
Now, many directors believe both programs are inadequately funded.

But … Many counties are not spending their
full CalWORKs allocation.
A serious problem …– Counties say they need more funding– But the lack of full spending sends a
message that more funding isn’t needed.

County Allocations CalWORKs
The slicing of the budget pie
PCAB days: based on each county’s request
Now: based mostly on prior expenditures and caseload – There can be substantial differences between
the state budget and the allocation for a specific county.

CloseoutCalWORKs
For most allocations, at closeout any unspent funds are redistributed to the County’s that overmatched.
However, not in CalWORKs.– For the past few years, any unspent
funds have been rolled over to the next year after being reappropriated.
Roll over is not county specific.

Hopeful Days of SB 2030
Since 1984, each county’s allocation was based on its workload by component, and statewide workload standards.
In April 2000, SB 2030 recommended these statewide standards increase about 50% to fund new mandated activities since 1984.
![Page 18: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Augmentation to CWS
Instead of up updating the statewide workload standards, the legislature in FY 00-01 approved an “augmentation” to the CWS allocation.
Also known as Emergency Workload Relief.
An increase of about 12%. May be used for Linkages activities
related to CWS
![Page 19: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Up until FY 01-02– Used to determine

Included increases for wages, benefits, overhead, etc.

State Budget - CWS
Up until FY 01-02, funded using 1984 workload standards and current cost of business.
Since FY 02-03, no more cost of business additions.
Some increases for new activities, such as relative home approvals and AB 636.

CloseoutCWS
For most allocations, at closeout any unspent funds are redistributed to the County’s that overmatched.
This applies to CWS, however there is a limited amount available.– Recently, about 20-30% of county
overmatches have been reimbursed at closeout.

CWS compared to CalWORKs
When the Linkages Project began in California, many county directors believed CalWORKs was better funded than CWS.
Now, many directors believe both programs are inadequately funded.
But, many counties are not spending their CalWORKs allocation and may use it for “eligible” Linkages activities.

Digging Deeper
So what exactly does this PCD mean? What does the term “etc.” mean?
We can compare the PCD to the legislation to understand in a broader context the phrase “information and referral.”
![Page 36: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Comparison Handout This handout is based on a download
of AB 1542, the original CalWORKs legislation.
A word search is made on “information,” “referral,” “resource,” and “at risk.”
The document is summarized to show the context in which “information and referral” is used.
![Page 37: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Comparing TSC 6641 to AB 1542 - CalWORKs
After reviewing time study code 6641 and the comparison handout of AB 1542, does it appear that a Social Worker could time study to 6641 when performing certain “linkages” activities?
![Page 38: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Leveraging Grant Fundingin CWS
It depends …
– on how it is handled in the CEC (County Expense Claim)
– and your county’s level of funding its CWS allocation
![Page 40: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Extraneous One way is to charge the related grant
expenses to the “Extraneous” area of the CEC.
This removes the costs from CDSS programs on the CEC.
However, the grant funding is not leveraged. Another option is to create in the CEC a
County Only Program Code.
![Page 41: Linking Fiscal CalWORKs and CWS CalWORKs/Child Welfare Partnership Project Phase II – Convening II October 27, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2c5503460f94b1be64/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Supplantation!
Be careful to avoid supplanting county funds with grant dollars. You should be safe as long as …– A new or expanded service is provided,
and– County funding has not been reduced
from the prior year.
