for low-income children. The Covering Kids initiative in Cabarrus County has <br />targeted the following groups for outreach and enrollment: the Latino community, <br />the faith community, and providers, including primary care physicians, hospitals, <br />school nurses, dentists, and vision care specialists. Our mission in doing this is to <br />continue to reduce barriers to children's health insurance and to develop and test <br />outreach methods to increase enrollment. In working to accomplish this mission, we <br />have out stationed outreach staff at NorthEast Medical Center, our regional hospital; <br />Logan Community Family Resource Center, a primary practice and outreach center in <br />a predominately African-American and Latino community; the Cabarms Health <br />Alliance, the local public health department; and at the JobLink Career Center. All of <br />these outreach efforts are targeting both medicaid eligible families as well as working <br />families who need this insurance for their children, and in many cases, are unable to <br />otherwise access or afford health ca~e through their employer. <br /> <br />Updated Work Over Welfare: In our ongoing efforts to improve and enhance what <br />we are doing to employ welfare recipients in Cabarms County, the General Assembly <br />granted us updated waivers for operating our Work Over Welfare or WOW program. <br />The WOW program initially began in Cabarrus County in 1995 and was the first <br />welfare reform initiative in the state. It preceded Work First. The original WOW <br />waivers granted us the ability to increase incentives and penalties to those individuals <br />required to participate in the Work First program. It gave us the ability to become <br />involved in a very successful effort known as Grant Diversion. This allowed us to <br />divert the amount of the WFFA check and Food Stamps that a client received. This <br />was put into a WOW account that was matched by an employer to make a working <br />wage for the Grant Diversion employee. It was a benefit to both the employee and <br />employer, by giving a hard to Place client needed job experience and using their own <br />public assistance benefits to supplement the wages that the employer paid. Since <br />Work First adopted many of the WOW provisions, we sought updated waivers in <br />1998, and now have pay for performance provisions for anyone required to <br />participate in Work First employment services, which takes effect the month <br />following the first month in which they fail to .cooperate with the program. <br /> <br />XVI. Special Issues <br /> <br />There are presently no special issues in Cabarms County that we feel could impact <br />the operation of the Work First program. <br /> <br />XVII.
