(Standard Agreement)
SCOPE OF WORK
A.The Legal Authority for this Agreement by which the Employment Development Department
(EDD) provides confidential wage and unemployment insurance claim information to
California Department of Social Services (CDSS) is pursuant to Section 1095(ai) of the
California Unemployment Insurance Code (CUIC).
CDSS shall request and use the EDD’s confidential information only for the purpose of
conducting internal research, budget development, performance monitoring and program
evaluation pursuant to the Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 10533, 10540.5, 10541,
10606.1, 10609.4, 10850, 11322.63, 11525, 15204.6 and, and Section 1095(ai) of the CUIC,
and Sections of 7 United States Code (USC) 2020(e)(16) and (17), 42 USC Section 611, 42
USC Section 677 of the Social Security Act.
B.The County of Fresno herein referred to as the Contractor, is to be provided access to
confidential data for the sole purpose of conducting program evaluations. Contractor shall
use the quarterly EDD base wage data to understand labor market participation of its
employment services clients (e.g., California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids
(CalWORKs), CalFresh Employment & Training, and County General Assistance program
clients in Fresno County). This Agreement provides authorization for use of this confidential
data solely for evaluation purposes described in this Agreement below.
C.Contractor Responsibilities:
1.Contractor shall agree to and follow EDD’s Indemnity Agreement, Exhibit E – Attachment
2, attached hereto and made part of this Agreement.
2.Contractor shall instruct all employees, agents, or volunteers with access to the
information provided through this Agreement as to the following:
a.The confidential nature of the information;
b.The requirements of Division 19 of the CDSS Manual of Policies and Procedure for
the protection of confidential information provided by CDSS or held by the County in
its administration of social services; and
c.The EDD Confidentiality and Security Requirements of the EDD and CDSS
Interagency Agreement 17-2031, Exhibit F for EDD data.
d.Exhibit F, Agreement 17-2031 is attached for reference.
3.Acknowledge CDSS as the original source of the data in any publications resulting from,
or related to, use of this data.
4.Include a disclaimer that credits any analyses, interpretations, or conclusions reached to
the authors and not to the CDSS. The disclaimer shall be in substantially the following
form, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing:
“The research reported herein was performed with the permission of the
California Department of Social Services. The opinions and conclusions
expressed herein are solely those of the author(s) and should not be
Agreement 19-1001 Page 2 of 4
CDSS/County of Fresno
EXHIBIT A
(Standard Agreement)
considered as representing the policy of any agency of the California State
Government.”
5.Provide CDSS with a pre-publication draft of any reports 90 days before publication. A
“report” is any document, email, or website that includes outcomes, results, or findings
using EDD data that is made available to the public. EDD requires all publications with
their data be reviewed and approved by their Information Security Office prior to
publication. CDSS shall facilitate the approval process between the Contractor and EDD.
Should CDSS disagree with any part of the report, a disclaimer stating the CDSS
disagreement shall be included in the final published report.
Specifically, the EDD data shall enable the following program outcomes to be accurately
measured, including:
a. The number and proportion of clients with earned income;
b.The total earnings of clients and their wage progression over time;
c.The continuity of employment over time; and,
d.How outcomes differ across various socioeconomic/demographic characteristics and
specific employment services programs.
This analysis would enable Contractor to measure the effectiveness of welfare-to-work
and employment services efforts in Fresno County, it would provide valuable input into
subsequent programmatic design and resource allocation decisions. Moreover, the
information would be a useful tool in developing caseload forecasts and adapting
employment services programs in response to labor market trends.
Under no circumstances shall individual client data be released or used to contact
individual persons. All data shall be reported in aggregate to protect client privacy.
Matching client data with quarterly wages would provide Contractor with robust
employment and earnings data that could be tracked over time for specific groups of
program clients. County data does not currently provide any information on employment
or earnings of program recipients, and EDD quarterly base wage files are the only
accessible source for tracking the earned income of clients after receiving employment
services.
Several files produced by the EDD are the only source that shall allow accessibility to track
the employment and earnings of welfare program recipients after leaving public assistance
as well as unemployment and disability payments.
D.Contractor may use the following data sets acquired from CDSS:
1.EDD Base Wage File: Quarterly wage earnings for the most recent six (6) quarters
available of all persons in the County of Fresno, 16 years or older and who received at
least one month of public assistance in the County of Fresno. The data extract includes
quarter date; social security number; employer account number (EAN); and quarterly
earnings. The base wage file shall enable Contractors to track the employment records
and earnings of current and former welfare recipients. Historical wage data up to five (5)
years prior is also available upon special request for selected clients.
Agreement 19-1001 Page 3 of 4
CDSS/County of Fresno
EXHIBIT A
(Standard Agreement)
2.Employer Data: This file is a subset of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages
created by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It contains California employer data such as
employer identification number (EIN), NAICS industry classification code, employer trade
name, street address, FIPS county code, and total quarterly wages paid. Employer data
is available upon special request.
3.Unemployment/Disability (UI/DI) Files: UI/DI files track the unemployment and disability
benefits of welfare recipients. Data includes time of payment, payment amount, social
security number, and client name. This data is available upon special request for selected
clients, subject to CDSS cost review and available funds.
Linkage of administrative county data to the aforementioned files requires the county to
provide a file to CDSS containing unduplicated client social security numbers and birth
dates, preferably in SAS or Excel/Csv format.
E.CDSS Responsibilities:
1.CDSS shall provide the following data for the purpose specified in this Agreement:
a.EDD Base Wage data for the most recent six (6) quarters available. To be provided
semi-annually.
b.Employer Data can be attached to the EDD Base Wage data at the Contractor’s
request.
c.Any requested linkage to wage/UI/DI data shall be limited to available funds.
2.CDSS shall facilitate the linkage of client records provided by Contractor to EDD base
wage administrative files for this project. The process shall require CDSS to transmit client
records to EDD; EDD performs the actual linkage (matching) and shall make the matched
records available to CDSS for access and subsequent distribution to Contractor. This
linkage requires a valid social security number and date of birth for each client.
3.CDSS shall conduct random on-site inspections, as needed, to ensure that the terms of
this Agreement are being complied with.
4.All printing shall be sent to the California Department of General Services, Office of State
Publishing (OSP). It is the responsibility of the CDSS Project Representative to obtain an
exemption from OSP to competitively bid out any and all printing listed within this
Agreement. The printing exemption process is managed by the CDSS Form Management
Unit.

the services being provided. Agencies may only pay overhead charges on the first $25,000 of each
subcontract. Any subcontractor receiving $25,000 or more must be clearly identified in the budget
display and excluded when the total indirect costs are calculated.
