RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve and authorize the Director of the Department of Social Services, or his designee, to sign an agreement with Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF) to facilitate the exchange of confidential information in order to provide Child Care Payment services to CalWORKs customers for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016; and
b. Authorize the Director of the Department of Social Services, or his designee, to sign up to three (3) amendments to this agreement that do not significantly change the scope of work.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
This agreement is for the purpose of sharing confidential information to MAOF for the sole purpose of providing Child Care Payment Services. State of California Regulations (MPP 47-301.21) requires the exchange of information between County Agencies and Child Care Payment Service Providers for the purpose of administering seamless transitional childcare services for customers between Stages 1, 2 & 3 Child Care, and binds each of these agencies by the same confidentiality requirements. The Department will share information with MAOF by providing access to the C-IV System, an automated Public Assistance Data Software. The agreement was delayed coming to the Board due to a delay in obtaining proper insurance documents from the vendor.
