RE:

Child Care Plan Hours Electronic Worksheet Pilot

Based on the latitude granted to the Secretary in K.S.A. 39-708c(t) to carry on research of the social welfare program, I hereby grant approval to Betsy Thompson (Saline County), Shari Campbell (Cheyenne, Decatur, Graham, Logan, Norton, Rawlins, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas and Wallace counties) and Steve Fincher (Allen, Anderson and Woodson counties) to pilot the electronic child care plan hours worksheet beginning September 1, 2008. The purpose of the pilot is to determine an accurate fiscal impact of the use of this method of determining monthly child care plan hours. The electronic plan hours worksheet will replace the current methods used by EES field staff to determine the number of child care hours to use in calculating monthly child care benefits. Currently there are various methods being used around the state to determine plan hours. Pilot approval for the electronic child care plan hours worksheet is granted based on the attached guidelines. Kansas Economic and Employment Support Manual policies contained herein shall take precedence for the above counties.
