Within the amounts provided in this subsection, the department shall: (a) Continue to implement WorkFirst program improvements that are designed to achieve progress against outcome measures specified in RCW 74.08A.410. Valid outcome measures of job retention and wage progression shall be developed and reported quarterly to appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the legislature for families who leave assistance, measured after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months. An increased attention to job retention and wage progression is necessary to emphasize the legislature's goal that the WorkFirst program succeed in helping recipients gain long-term economic independence and not cycle on and off public assistance. The wage progression measure shall report the median percentage increase in quarterly earnings and hourly wage after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months. The wage progression report shall also report the percent with earnings above one hundred percent and two hundred percent of the federal poverty level.

A substantive reason code shall not be "other." The report shall identify barriers to informing families about work support benefits and describe existing and future actions to overcome such barriers.

The child care and early education program study shall evaluate how current programs may be coordinated and consolidated to provide the most efficient level of administration, grant funding, and increased accessibility by families who are served by these programs. The study of state programs for low-income families shall compare and contrast eligibility and access to these programs and identify ways to coordinate or consolidate these programs to reduce administrative costs and improve access. The office shall submit a report to the department of social and health services and the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2000. (f) Convene a working group that includes stakeholders and recipients of public assistance to establish basic customer service performance measures and goals.

Each of these reports shall describe the number of current contracts for temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) or WorkFirst services that the department has with community social service providers and a description of the services being provided through each of those contracts. (5) The legislature finds that, since the passage of the federal personal responsibility and work opportunity act in 1997, Washington's public assistance population has declined dramatically, and that the currently appropriated level for the temporary assistance for needy families program is sufficient for the 1999-01 biennium. The legislature further finds that federal funding for the temporary assistance for needy families program may decrease after the current five-year block grant has expired. The legislature declares that at least $60,000,000 of the year-end balance in the federal TANF grant shall be held in reserve by the office of financial management at the close of the 1999-01 biennium.
