Employment Security Commission to place two income maintenance caseworkers at the <br />One Stop Career Center at its Concord office. NorthEast Medical Center and ESC will <br />thus provide office space and furniture and most equipment for these positions. Salary <br />and fringe benefits thus constitute essentially the total cost for these three positions. The <br />total cost for the positions for 12 months, $101,950, would be met as follows: regular <br />50% Medicaid administrative funding, $50,975; enhanced federal Medicaid f~nding, <br />$40,790; NEMC cost-sharing, $8,496; and reduction of the County General Assistance <br />account, $1,698. <br /> <br /> The arrangement outlined above benefits the Department, NorthEast Medical <br />Center, the Employment Security Commission, and citizens of the County who may <br />qualify for Medicaid. <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br /> I am requesting that the Board of commissioners approve the attached budget <br />amendment request, authorizing the creation of thee income maintenance caseworkers <br />from 1-1-01, at a cost for the remainder of the current fiscal year of $50,975. The budget ' <br />amendment provides for federal and NEMC revenues, together with an $849 budget <br />revision to offset this cost. <br /> <br /> Naturally, should the revenues supporting this arrangement cease to be available, <br />the positions being created will be discontinued. <br /> <br />The Social Services Board has reviewed and approved this proposal. <br /> <br />Please let me know if additional information is needed. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br />
