How will
C-IV implement regulations that are particular to
one county or another? There are no known regulations that
are particular to a county for the automated Eligibility programs
(CalWORKs, Food Stamps, and Medi-Cal). Regulations are mandated
at the state level through the EAS, Food Stamps Regulations, and
Medi-Cal Eligibility Manual. Programs that have flexibility at
the county level (for example, Diversion) are not automated through
C-IV's Eligibility system (other than apparent CalWORKs eligibility).
The county has discretion in what they will offer for Diversion
and how much they will pay through C-IV. Will C-IV
include In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Medi-Cal?
The decision on IHSS Medi-Cal functionality in C-IV is still under
review. Will all
counties in California be added gradually?
Several counties have indicated that they would be interested
in joining the C-IV Consortium. After the C-IV System has been
implemented successfully in the original four counties, the project
will start to work with additional counties. All counties will
not join the C-IV Consortium because many counties are part of
a different consortium. What will
caseload sizes be like? Caseload size will
continue to be determined by each individual county's management. What are
the goals of
C-IV? Assist staff to achieve the performance and outcomes required by public assistance programs, with a focus on "work first" and self-sufficiency. Improve the efficiency and quality of services provided to our customers, our community and other stakeholders. Enable
and enhance relationships with other agencies, community based organizations
and private industry.
Comply with SAWS requirements in the California Welfare and Institutions Code. Top

Who will interpret and implement policy?
Currently, the C-IV team is working closely with county and state
policy specialists to interpret and implement policy decisions.
The Joint Powers Authority,C-IV Project Director, County Project
Managers and Project Steering Committee are also involved in this
effort. How do you deal with different interpretations of policy within the counties now and after the system is implemented? There will always be a C-IV group on-site to make policy decisions about the C-IV system on behalf of the counties. At what point do you want to be notified of policy changes? C-IV would like to be informed of significant policy changes as soon as possible. This will allow the Project time to implement the changes within the specified program as soon as possible. Is the goal of C-IV to eliminate all paper? C-IV is looking at reducing the amount of paper wherever possible. This process will be extensive and the Project recognizes complete elimination of paper is unlikely. Eventually however, much of the paperwork will be eliminated since many of the programs are now accepting electronic signatures. Will contracts be included in C-IV? No contracts will not be included in C-IV. Will C-IV list the regulations at the bottom of the Notices of Actions, as does MAGIC? Yes. The regulations placed at the bottom of the Notices of Action will be system-generated. These are based on the text (actions and reasons) placed on the NOA and the program for which they apply. Does less paper mean thinner cases or will those scanned forms, etc. still be printed and placed in the case jacket? Forms and verifications connected with the case will be in electronic format unless hardcopies for a court case are needed. Most of the time it will not be necessary to keep a hard copy. What impact will C-IV have on layouts of County Offices? The C-IV Project is responsible for the rollout of the infrastructure required for end users to run the C-IV System. The C-IV Project is not responsible for making changes to the layouts of County Offices. Will there be a need for workarounds or manipulations when system errors occur? The C-IV system is being designed for flexibility and maintainability. When system errors are detected, updates and corrections to the system will be developed. As with any automated system, there may be occasional situations requiring a "work around" while the system correction is being developed. Will the system automatically adjust regulations when a Notice of Action is changed? Regulation cites will be included on all applicable Notices of Action. When a Notice is updated due to regulations, the regulations cited will also be updated. Is C-IV going to include case management for Child Welfare Services (CWS)? C-IV will capture the Foster Care case number and Social Workers name and number. C-IV will not assign a Foster Care case to a Social Worker.
