Subject: WorkFirst Outcome Measures (RCW 74.08A.430)
Dear Mr. Cook, Mr. Martin, Mr. Foster and Ms. Fortier:
Engrossed House Bill No. 3901(Section 704) called for an Outcome Measure Report, due each January 15th, which may include, but not limited to:
(a) Caseload reduction;
(b) Recidivism to caseload after two years;
(c) Job retention;
(d) Earnings;
(e) Reduction in average grant through increased recipient earnings; and
(f) Placement of recipients into private sector, unsubsidized jobs.
The act required the Department of Social and Health Services to report. However, because Washington's WorkFirst program is administered by a sub-cabinet of four state agencies, we are jointly reporting. The four agencies are:
Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS)
Employment Security Department (ESD)
State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC)
Department of Community, Trade and Economic Services (CTED)
We have been monitoring what happens to clients as they leave WorkFirst through an exit survey. We are sending the latest WorkFirst exit survey, and a report on subsidized childcare, under separate cover.
Sincerely,
Dick Thompson, Director, Office of Financial Management
Lyle Quasim, Secretary, Department of Social and Health Services
Carver Gayton, Commissioner, Employment Security Department
Tim Douglas, Director, Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development
Earl Hale, Executive Director, State Board of Community and Technical Colleges
The Report on WorkFirst Outcome Measures is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
