JUL-03-2000 12:27 OMB DEP DIR MGMT 202 395 6974 P.04/10 - improvement new "Posidive added 1 paragraph preauble section for clarity and because these terms now apply to both the work measures and the work support measures. We received no comments on the definition of "improvement rate," but we want to call attention to one point related to the use of this definition. "Improvement rate" means the positive percentage point change between the absolute rate of performance in the performance year and the comparison year. Using this definition in the high performance bonus system means that we will be rewarding only positive, not negative, changes in computing the improvement rate. We believe that this definition will assure that the bonus is awarded to States that demonstrate actual improvement over the comparison year. For example, a State could, for the earnings gain measure in the comparison year, have a negative improvement rate and in the performance year have a lower negative improvement rate. We do not believe we should reward States for a reduction in the level of negative performance. We received the following comments on this section: Comment: One State asked that we add definitions for the terms "TANF eligible," "employed recipient,' and "leaving TANF assistance," as these terms have different meanings across States. 73
