How does the county capture Title IV-E administrative costs?
Title IV-E administrative costs are primarily captured by Social Worker staff reporting their time to Title IV-E time study codes which are reported on the County Expense Claim (CEC). The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) reimburses counties for costs incurred in the administration of all welfare programs. The counties must file a claim, known as the CEC, in order to be reimbursed for administrative costs associated with welfare programs. The CEC is divided into six function areas (e.g., Social Services, CalWORKs, Other Public Welfare, Child Care, Non-Welfare and Generic). Each function is comprised of a number of programs. Program Codes (PCs) are used to capture costs to the appropriate funding source/allocation. Title IV-E is one funding source. Costs are allocated to the functions and/or programs within a function by a countys use of time study hours which are reported to time study codes developed for each program as described in their Countywide Cost Allocation Plan,
