Poole, Administrative Officer <br /> DATE: December 9, 1986 - <br /> RE: AFDC-EA Program Status Update <br /> As of December ,8, 1986 we have authorized 40 cases as being eligible for AFDC-EA <br /> program payments. The total dollars authorized for these 40 cases is $9,832.47, for <br /> an average of $24581 per case. We have seen a dramatic increase in the number of <br /> applications for this program. At the end of November,. ,we were taking two to three <br /> applications per day. We are now seeing from six to ten AFDC-EA applications per <br /> day. Various community agencies, legal aide, and word of mouth by recipients helped <br /> by this program are rapidly spreading the information to the public regarding avail- <br /> ability of AFDC-EA funds through our offices. Our intake requests have doubled as <br /> a result. We have already met with representatives from Finance, Personnel and the <br /> County Manager's office. They have agreed that the solution to this demand is to <br /> hire two intake workers. We have searched our payroll records and indicated to <br /> Personnel that we have enough lapsed salary funds to fund these two positions. from <br /> January 1 through June 30. We are now awaiting approval of the County Manager to <br /> use these lapsed funds for these two new positions and obtain Commissioners approval. <br /> I anticipate that this program will rapidly increase to a program spending in the <br /> neighborhood of $100,000 to $300,000 per year by the end of the 87-88 fiscal year. <br /> •f <br />
