FY14 January Caseload Review Waitlist Remediation Initiative Status: The CCRRs began placing children in the Waitlist remediation account in October. The CCRRs had until December 20, 2013 to place all the vouchers allocated to them.  As of December 20, 2013 at the end of the twelve week initiative, the CCRRs had successfully placed 100% of the original allocation of 2,367 vouchers. An additional 716 vouchers have been added to the original allocation. As of February 22, 599 (83.7%) of the 716 vouchers and 2,966 (96.2%) of the total vouchers (3,083) have been filled. Approximately 89% (2,747) of the 3,083 placements authorized in the Waitlist Remediation account were billed for service month January  The forecast projected all 3,083 vouchers will be placed in February This month’s forecast for FY2014 continues to project a $1M surplus. Income Eligible: January forecast projects a surplus of approximately $4.4M.  Vouchers: All the CCRRs continue to fill the additional attrition backfill allotment in the Income Eligible account. As of February 22, the CCRRs have placed 1,377 of the total allotment (1,866) or 74%. The forecast includes 492 placements from January 25, 2014 to February 22, The projection also assumes the gradual placements (20% each month through the remainder of the year) for the 489 remaining vouchers open (from the 1000 authorized in January 2014).  Contracts: The projected surplus is also dependent upon the contract providers achieving maximum obligation. Currently, of all contracts slots available (regular and flex), only 90.5% are filled. 2

FY14 January Caseload Review DTA-Related Caseload: After seven months of actual numbers, EEC is forecasting a surplus of $2.7M, an increase of $2M when compared to last month ($636K). December actual caseload billing reflects a net decrease (944) in caseload when compared to December. All age groups experienced a decrease. This change is driving the movement from deficit to surplus. Supportive Caseload: With seven months of actual numbers, EEC is reporting a deficit of approximately $21K. Access to expansion slots continues to allow for more children to be served in areas where there is the capacity and the need. Expenditures have increased due to the use of expansion slots. EEC is monitoring this closely. We’re at 101% utilization. FY14 Consolidated Net Increase: The target date for implementation is March Billing paid in April. This will include the retroactive payment. SEIU Rate Increase Contract: The target date for implementation is March Billing paid in April. This will include the retroactive payment. Part Time Rate Increase : Pending board approval, the increase is scheduled to occur when EEC’s new Child Care Financial Assistance System is implemented. If this occurs after 7/1/14, the increase will be retroactive. 3
