 Los Angeles County Chief Executive Memo to Board of Supervisors
Recommending MAXIMUS
Contract Extension for LA GAIN Program
This document describes contract amendments related to an extension of a
contract between MAXIMUS, Inc., and Los Angeles County Department of
Public Social Services for the Los Angeles Greater Avenues for
Independence (GAIN) welfare-to-work program. The amendments included
changes to the scope of work related to performance outcomes and key
measures. It also allowed the county to levy a fiscal penalty against
MAXIMUS in the event that the county fails to meet the mandated TANF
Federal Work Participation Rate.
The changes were required due to new TANF reauthorization requirements and
for consistency with the Departments goals for the GAIN Program.
Specifically, MAXIMUS must achieve a work participation rate for TANF
work-eligible individuals that is within two percentage points of
county-operated regions.
MAXIMUS has provided GAIN case management services in two of the county's
seven GAIN regions. MAXIMUS has provided these services since 2000. The
contract extension will run for nine months, from March 1, 2008, to
November 30, 2008. The extension was necessary to allow the county time
to review responses to a request for proposals seeking GAIN case
management services for a three year period to begin December 1, 2008.
