Section DCF 153.06 - Performance levels

Current through August 26, 2024

(1) In consultation with the county contract committee, the department shall determine all of the following:

(a) Weight. A weight to be given each performance measure in s. DCF 153.05(2). The combined weight of the measures shall total 100%.

(b) Performance scales. Performance scales used to determine agency earned levels based on performance on each measure in s. DCF 153.05(2). There shall be the following two methods of determining earned levels:
1. Performance levels and corresponding earned levels based on federal performance levels at 45 CFR 305.33, taking into consideration any potential penalties under 45 CFR 305.40.

2. An alternative method of evaluating performance levels based on an agency's incremental change from the agency's performance in the preceding year.

(2) The purpose of the determinations in sub. (1) is to target areas for statewide improvement to maximize the state share of federal incentive dollars under 45 CFR Part 305 while ensuring that agencies have funds available to achieve the purposes of the child support program. The following factors shall be considered in making the determinations in sub. (1):

(a) State performance levels necessary to avoid federal penalties under 45 CFR 305.40.

(b) Past state performance on federal performance measures.

(c) Projected future state performance on federal performance measures.

(d) Circumstances beyond the control of agencies that affect agency performance.
