Section 10:110-18.2 - Incentives distribution methodology

(a) The OCSS shall assemble, on an annual basis, an Incentives Distribution Committee with representation from the various Program entities. The Committee shall make recommendations to the Commissioner on the distribution of incentive funds received in that year using as its basis the distribution standards contained herein, as determined by the Child Support Incentives Reform Workgroup.

(b) The Commissioner may decide that incentive funds should be distributed based on one or any combination of the distribution standards to eligible entities providing child support services.

(c) Incentive payments may be issued as Program-wide, performance and/or grant-based incentive payments.

(d) The incentives distribution standards are the criteria that determine the best collective use of the incentives monies for that year to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the overall Child Support Program. The distribution standards include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Portion to the county agencies contributing to administrative costs based on current TANF and former TANF caseloads and performance;

2. Use of the incentive monies may improve the level of performance in one or more of the Federal performance areas;

3. Use of the incentives monies may improve the level of service; or

4. Use of incentives monies may improve compliance with Federal requirements in a manner that avoids Federal penalties against the Program.
