2014 SCSEP Equitable Distribution Report

The Equitable Distribution (ED) State Report form 8705A shows the number of authorized positons by county as determined by the Census data and the number of enrollments by county as determined by the data in SPARQ. The state report should include all grantees that operate in a particular state. The tables in SCSEPED provide various calculations of the variance between the authorized position and the number of current enrollments by county. Please use the table from SCSEPED.org to fill out the values below and use those calculations to answer the two questions about the variance: What is its significance; and what, if any, actions the grantees will take to come into better compliance with the equitable distribution requirements. Submit the completed report to your FPO with a copy to grants.SCSEPdocs@dol.gov.

State:

I. Summary of Variance

Number of CountiesPercent of All CountiesAverage Percentage of Variance
Under–service44027.8
Over–service440128.6
Combined Total Under– and Over–service88035.3

II. Discussion: reasons for and significance of the variance

[Please describe any significant variance and explain the possible reasons for the variance]

Since July 2014, Nebraska currently has only one subgrantee, Experience Works. Previous subgrantee Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA) did not enroll from April 2014 to June 2014. Experience Works did not get staff hired for Douglas County previously covered by ENOA until October 1, 2014.

III. Plan to improve statewide ED during program year

[Please explain your plans to reduce the variance in your state during the program year.]

State will make efforts to continually improve ED during the program year through subgrantee advertisements in the media to recruit for positions in underserved counties. Moreover, as subgrantee gets new employee trained in Douglas County, there should be no variance.

IV. Attach copy of state ED table from SCSEPED.org.

The Equitable Distribution (ED) Grantee Table 8705B shows the number of authorized positons by county as determined by the Census data and the number of enrollments by county as determined by the data in SPARQ. The grantee report should include all states in which the grantee operates. The tables in SCSEPED.org provide various calculations of the variance between the authorized position and the number of current enrollments by county. Please use the tables from SCSEPED.org to fill out the values below and use those calculations to answer the two questions about the variance: What is its significance; and what, if any, actions the grantee will take to come into better compliance with the equitable distribution requirements. Submit the completed report to your FPO with a copy to grants.SCSEPdocs@dol.gov.

Combined Total Under– and Over–service–––––––––

II. Discussion: reasons for and significance of the variance

[Please describe any significant variance and explain the possible reasons for the variance]

Previous subgrantee ENOA did not enroll from April 2014 to June 30, 2014. Current subgrantee Experience Works did not get someone hired for Douglas County until October 1, 2014 therefore Douglas County is under–enrolled by 18 as of 10–31–14. EW staff is going through the waiting list now and should be fully enrolled by 12–31–14. State wide under enrolled is 12 out of 68 positions or 17.6% under enrolled

III. Plan to improve ED in your grant during program year

[Please explain your plans to reduce the variance in your grant during the program year.]

As subgrantee trains new employees in Douglas County, there should be no variance.
