(a)Within six months of CalWORKs implementation, each county, in conjunction with the department, shall determine a baseline for the data to be collected to meet both state and local need. The baseline shall be used in subsequent years to determine whether or not the county’s outcomes are improving.
(b)If a county fails to meet outcomes required by federal law, the county, in consultation with the department, shall develop and implement a corrective action plan.
(c)If outcomes have not improved over the baseline, the county and the department shall evaluate the reasons. To the extent the county and the department determine that county and state actions could positively influence the outcomes, they shall mutually develop and implement a corrective action plan.
(d)In both cases, the corrective action plan shall identify actions that shall be taken by the county and by appropriate state agencies.
