CALIFORNIA BRINGS US: "FEDERAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES IN A NUTSHELL"
The Child Support and Incentive Act of 1998 changed the method in which incentives are paid to States by the United States Government for increasing child support collections and reducing the Welfare Roles. Some States have not only taken advantage of these incentives, but have created on-line publications both explaining the performance measures and outlining how that State performed. This practice not only serves to help improve performance by increasing accountability, but increases government transparency as well. For an example of how one State keeps its citizens informed on this issue, click Federal Performance Measures in a Nutshell (2/08).
