Benchmarks

For the purposes of this section, "backlog case":

1. Means any nonactive case for which documentation has not been entered in the child welfare automated system for at least sixty days and for which services have not been authorized for at least sixty days and any case that has had an investigation, has been referred to another unit and has had no contact for at least sixty days.

2. Includes any case for which the investigation has been open without any documentation or contact for at least sixty days, any case involving in-home services for which there has been no contact or services authorized for at least sixty days and any case involving foster care in which there has been no contact or any documentation entered in the child welfare automated system for at least sixty days.

For the purposes of this section:

1. "Long-term case" means any case in which the child has been in an out-of-home placement for at least eighteen months.

2. "Open report" means a report that is under investigation or awaiting closure by a supervisor.

On or before February 28, 2024 and August 31, 2024, the department of child safety shall present a report to the joint legislative budget committee on the progress made during July 2023 through December 2023 and January 2024 through June 2024, respectively, in meeting the caseload standard and reducing the number of backlog and long-term cases. Each report shall include the number of backlog cases, the number of open reports, the number of long-term cases and the caseworker workload in comparison to the previous six months.  Each report shall provide the number of backlog cases by disposition, including the number of backlog cases in the investigation phase, the number of backlog cases associated with out-of-home placements and the number of backlog cases associated with in-home cases. 

To determine the caseworker workload, the department shall report the number of case-carrying caseworkers at each field office and the number of investigations, in-home cases and long-term cases assigned to each field office.

For backlog cases, the department's benchmark is 1,000 cases.

For open reports, the department's benchmark is fewer than 8,000 open reports.

For long-term cases, the department's benchmark is the caseload reported for December 2022.

If the department of child safety has not submitted a required report within thirty days after the report is due, the director of the joint legislative budget committee shall inform the general accounting office of the department of administration, which shall withhold two percent of the department of child safety's operating lump sum semiannual budget allocation until the department of child safety submits the required report.
