We have met this in- <br /> , creased workload without staff increases due to professional case manage- . <br /> ment and our accounting automation. <br /> We are well on our .way to meeting our 1984-85 objective of collecting . <br /> ' $220.000.00 in child support. 'Through December, 1984, we had. collected <br /> over $150.000.00. We also are rapidly closing in on total automation of our I <br /> ! <br /> , accounting and we hope to have the clerk of court automated by the end of <br /> this budget year. . . <br /> ! <br /> We anticipate further reduction of Federal Financial Participation (FFP) in , <br /> 1985-86 and continuing growth of the number of non-welfare cases. Since <br /> . 1980 the child support program has operated from 100% Federal funds; i.e. ! <br /> not one penny of the Orange County tax dollar has been expended on this <br /> program. Our financial performance in 1985-86 depends a great deal on how <br /> " the State of North Carolina chooses to pass on to the counties the incentive <br /> we receive from collections. If they base the pass-through on individual. <br /> ::. county performance we are in great shape, as we rank in the top 10 counties <br /> , . <br /> in the State in 4 of 8 measures of cost effectiveness and in the top 20 <br /> , • <br /> ' . in 6 of these 8 measures. <br /> • . <br /> „ . <br /> '.,. . <br />
