Comment - The WtW FY 1999 performance goal read "56% of Welfare-to-Work (WtW) program terminees will be placed in unsubsidized employment." The FY 2000 goal was revised to eliminate measuring placement of those terminated, as the concept of termination was not compatible with the WtW focus on providing services to individuals who are working to keep them in the job and help them advance in earnings. As a result, the goal is formulated to measure retention in the workforce and increased earnings at two quarters after placement.

PY 1999: N/A
FY 1999 Performance Results - N/A
Indicator- Employment retention after six months; average earnings change after six months
Data Source - State WIA reports, (UI wage records will be primary source)
Baseline - There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator which is based on the use of UI wage records. An approximation of the goal was derived by analysis of the JTPA program experience of eight states using WIA indicator specifications which yielded a range of from 72% to 84% for employment and from $2602 to $5488 for earnings gain.
Comment - The goal for this indicator is preliminary and based upon the limited experiences of 8 States. The goal may be revised based upon the Department reaching agreement with all States on WIA adjusted levels of performance for Program Year 2000. Employment retention includes exiters employed upon registration and in the first quarter after exit. Earnings gain is based upon a comparison of earnings in the second and third quarters after exit with earnings in the second and third quarters prior to registration.

Data Source - State WIA reports; UI wage records
Baseline - There is no prior experience with this indicator and no basis for approximating a baseline from current JTPA reports.
Comment - Quantified levels for performance measures under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) will be developed through cooperative negotiation between DOL, its partners, and stakeholders. A small number of States have begun early implementation of WIA for PY 1999, however, data has not previously been collected on this measure which would assist in the development of a baseline. The Department believes this measure will serve as a valid measurement of program performance. The results achieved by the early implementing States will form the basis for the establishment of a baseline for this measure. As data becomes available from the remaining States, a revised baseline level will be established or revised as necessary.

An approximation of the goal was derived by analysis of the JTPA program experience of eight states using WIA indicator specifications which yielded a range of from 69% to 81% for employment.
Comment - Quantified levels for performance measures under WIA will be developed through cooperative negotiation between DOL, its partners, and stakeholders. A small number of States have begun early implementation of WIA for PY 1999, and this limited performance will form the basis of baseline data and negotiation of goals for PY 2000 - the period which all States will begin to operate under WIA. The above goal serves as a proxy measure for the expected level of performance based upon levels negotiated with a limited number of early implementing States. The proxy measure will be revised and a baseline level established as performance data is available from the remaining States. Note: the goal excludes youth who go on to post secondary education or advanced training.

Comment - Because there is no unbiased industry-wide database on labor standards violations or compliance, the Wage and Hour Division faces a challenge in determining industry-wide levels of compliance, measuring changes in compliance and attributing causality for any changes. To determine the impact of Wage and Hour efforts, a statistically sound method for establishing baselines and measuring compliance was developed using investigation-based compliance surveys of targeted industries and areas. Based on results, specific industries and/or industry sectors will be re-surveyed every 2 to 3 years.

2.2A
Performance Goal - FY 2001: Unemployed workers receive fair UI benefit eligibility determinations and timely benefit payments:
FY 2000: Unemployed workers receive fair UI benefit eligibility determinations and timely benefit payments:
FY 1999: N/A
FY 1999 Performance ResultsN/A
Indicator -
Data Source - ETA 9056 Report (non-monetary determinations quality); ETA 9050 Report (initial payment promptness)
Baseline - FY 1999:
The current UI validation program validates non-monetary quality
measures and the numbers of first payments but not payment time lapse. All
facets of key performance measures are scheduled to be validated through the UI
Data Validation program starting in 2000.
The Department will work through
technical assistance and other means within the UI PERFORMS system to raise the
number of States attaining all minimum performance criteria. These efforts,
plus encouraging continuous improvement at all levels, will also raise national
averages.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2B Performance Goal - FY 2001: Increase by 2% (to 66 million) benefit recoveries achieved through the assistance of Pension Benefit Advisors.
FY 2000: Increase by 2% (to $53 million) benefit recoveries achieved through the assistance of Pension Benefit Advisors.
FY 1999:N/A
FY 1999 Performance Results - N/A
Indicator - The dollar value of benefit recoveries achieved through the assistance of technical assistance staff.
Data Source - The Technical Assistance and Inquiries System
Baseline - Average of the benefit recoveries achieved in Fiscal Years 1999 and 2000. ($64.5 million)
Comment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2C
Performance Goal - FY 2001: Increase by 1% the number of workers who are covered by a pension plan sponsored by their employer, particularly women, minorities and workers in small businesses.
FY 2000: Increase by 1% the number of workers who are covered by a pension plan sponsored by their employer, particularly women, minorities and workers in small businesses.
FY 1999: Revised Goal 2.2C : Increase by 1% the number of workers who are covered by a pension plan sponsored by their employer, particularly women, minorities, and workers in small businesses.
FY 1999 Performance Results - The goal was met. The number of workers increased by 5% (From 45.1 million to 47.6 million)
Indicator - The number of active workers within the categories that report participation in a proper pension plan sponsored by their current employer
Data Source - Income Supplement of the Current Population Survey, U.S. Bureau of Census
Baseline - Estimated covered population derived from 1998 pension topical module - 45.1 million
Comment - The expansion of coverage within the private employer-sponsored pension system is one of the primary results goals toward which PWBA's programs and policy initiatives are directed. Providing access to populations that have historically shown a lower coverage rate is a high priority within this large goal. Coverage rates for specific populations can be tracked through specific sets of questions periodically included in surveys conducted by the Census Bureau. The Bureau provides statistically reliable data on pension coverage rates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2D
Performance Goal - FY 2001: Return Federal employees to work following an injury as early as appropriate indicated by a 2% reduction from the FY 2000 baseline in the average number of production days lost due to disability.
FY 2000: Reduce to 173 days (QCM cases only). Establish baseline for all cases.
FY 1999: Return Federal employees to work following an injury as early as appropriate, as indicated by a 6% reduction from the baseline in production days lost due to disability for cases in the Quality Case Management (QCM) program. Reduce number of lost production days to 178 days (QCM cases only
FY 1999 Performance Results - This goal was exceeded.
Indicator - Average number of days lost due to disability for all cases.
Data Source - Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) data systems Federal agencypayroll offices; Office of Personnel Management employment statistics.
Baseline - FY 2000: 68.3 workdays.
Comment - 2000 DOL established a new baseline covering all
federal employee injuries. Data for this much larger cohort requires that
federal agencies capture and report "Continuation of Pay" data. The recently
signed Presidential Initiative "Federal Worker 2000" sets a goal for agencies
to reduce disability days, and will give impetus to data collection.
In FY
Because the inclusion of thousands of temporary Census 2000 workers employed b
the Department of Commerce would disproportionately skew the national result,
the Commerce Department is excluded from the baseline calculation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2E
Performance Goal - FY 2001: Produce $95 million in cumulative first-year savings (FY 1999-2001) in the FECA Program through Periodic Roll Management.
FY 2000: Produce $66 million in first year savings through Periodic Roll Management
FY 1999: Produce $19 million in first year savings through Periodic Roll Management
FY 1999 PerformanceResults - This goal has been exceeded. PRM case review actions produced an additional $20.8 million in FECA compensation benefit savings.
Indicator - The fiscal year amount of total periodic payment (compensation benefit) reductions in PRM universe cases.
Data Source - Periodic Roll Management System; Automated Compensation Payment System
Baseline - For all cases with benefit actions in the measurement year, the periodic payment amount paid at time of their entry into the PRM universe, compared to the periodic payment amount after benefit reduction.
The methodology for measuring savings from compensation benefit adjustments and terminations was revised to coincide with PRM's integration into permanent operations.
PRM savings for performance reporting were previously derived by comparing total FECA program benefit reductions in all cases, including PRM cases, in the measurement year, to total reductions produced in the baseline year but not counting PRM case reductions.
Comment - Periodic Roll Management has proven highly successful in identifying potential for return to work and resolving cases leading to greater savings in benefit compensation (an additional $317 between 1992 and 1998). In FY 1999, Congress appropriated resources to fully staff all offices and integrate PRM into FECA program operations. This is accelerating savings in Federal workers' compensation costs, and increasing the potential for returning workers to employment after recovery from an injury.
Note: Decisions on cases under PRM review often result in adjustment or termination of benefits. On a case-by-case basis, and beginning with the first payment cycle after the benefit action, savings are scored for the remainder of the measurement (fiscal) year, producing the "first-year" savings for the case. First-year savings for all cases in the measurement year are then combined producing the total first-year savings. The cumulative sum of first-year savings is matched against the goal as stated for each measurement year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2F
Performance Goal - FY 2001:In the FECA program, reduce the average annual cost for physical therapy and psychiatric services by 1%through focus reviews of services charged. (Note: This intermediate goal will assist the agency in developing strategies to reach the overall cost reduction goal. Reduction of overall average medical costs will be measured against a FY 2000 baseline.)
FY 2000: In the FECA program, save an additional $5 million over FY 1999 compared to amounts charged through full-year implementation of fee schedules for inpatient hospital and pharmacy services; save $1.5 million compared to amounts charged for physician services through the Correct Coding Initiative.
FY 1999: Save 19% annually versus amounts billed for FECA medical services.
FY 1999 Performance Results - This goals was exceeded.
Indicator - For Fee Schedules, Correct Coding Initiative, and Focus Reviews, savings are calculated by comparing amounts paid to amounts billed for drugs, hospital, and physician services in each performance year (e.g. paid versus billed in FY
Average case costs for all cases receiving medical services after adjustment for inflation.
Average case costs for services paid for selected medical conditions adjusted for inflation and changes in industry practices.
Data Source - FECA Medical Bill Pay System
Baseline - Fee Schedule and Correct Coding Initiative Baselines: Amounts charged for medical services in each fiscal year that performance will be measured.
Fee Scedule Baseline: Amounts billed for drugs, hospital and physician services in the measurement year.
Overall Average Medical Cost Baseline: Average annual cost per case in
FY
2000 for each medical condition selected for review.
Comment - The FECA program uses Fee Schedules to set payment levels for standard categories of billed medical services. Special automated bill review (Corrective Coding Initiative (CCI)) identifies medical providers' duplicate and abusive billing practices, and facilitates evaluation and resolution of questionable bills before payment is authorized . Focus Reviews identify proper treatment or payments for selected medical conditions. These mechanisms, along with procedural changes and other quality controls, will result in overall reduction of program medical costs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2G
Performance Goal - Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting Davis- Bacon wage determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY2001, complete development of all aspects of a reengineered system.
FY 2000: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting wage determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY 2000, implement scanning technology and develop knowledge management technology; and complete analysis of BLS data and decide whether a reengineering or reinvention approach will be pursued in FY 2001.
FY 1999: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting wage determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY 1999, implement new data collection form and automated printing and mailing process and test whether automation can increase the accuracy and timeliness of the survey process and wage determinations.
FY 1999 Performance Results - Target activities for FY 1999 were accomplished.
Indicator - Survey Planning Data Base maintained by Construction Resource Analysis (CRA) measures the length of time since the last survey in every county
Data Source - Survey Planning Data Base (CRA)
Baseline- Baseline to be determined and goal achieved in FY 2002.
Comment - Although some incremental improvements may be realized and conceptual changes validated, almost all of the improvement will be accomplished at the end of the process when a reengineered system is fully implemented.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2H
Performance Goal - Reduce processing time from 4-5 years to 3-4 years to send final, accurate benefit determinations to participants in defined benefit pension plans taken over by PBGC.
FY 2000: Issue final benefit notifications to participants in defined benefit pension plans taken over by PBGC within 6 to 7 years of trusteeship.
FY 1999: N/A
FY 1999 Performance Results - N/A
Indicator - Timeliness of final accurate benefit determinations to participants in trusteed plans
Data Source - Participant Record Information Management
System Participant Record Information Management System
Baseline - FY 1997: 7 to 8 years
Comment - This measure addresses PBGC's largest operating functions which are processing terminated plans and paying benefits. Termination activities involve an intricate series of complex actions, from reviewing plan assets and participant data, to completing financial and control group analysis. Sponsor bankruptcies and legal disputes over plan assets also complicate and stretch out the trusteeship process. Total participant count in PBGC-trusteed plans will have increased to 500,000 in FY 2001 while trusteed plans will have increased to 2,900. To keep up with these increases, PBGC must find ways to streamline processing and measure the results. PBGC will lower the time frame to 3-4 years in FY 2001.

Outcome Goal 2.3 - Provide Worker Retraining -- Performance Goals
2.3A
Performance Goal - PY 2001 In Program Year 2001, of those registered under the WIA dislocated worker program, 73% will be employed in the first quarter after program exit, and 83% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit with 91% of pre-dislocation earnings.
PY 2000: Of those registered under the WIA dislocated worker program, 71.4% will be employed in the first quarter after program exit and 81.6% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit with 89.7% of pre-dislocation earnings.
PY 1999: Under JTPA Title III for dislocated workers, 74% of program terminees will be employed at an average wage replacement rate (compared to their wage at dislocation) of 93% at termination; 76% will be employed one quarter after program exit at an average wage replacement rate of 97%.
PY 1998 Performance Results - The goal was met. Based on PY 1998 data, 73% of program terminees were employed at an average wage replacement rate of 99% at termination, and 76% were employed one quarter after program exit at an average wage replacement rate of 102%.
Indicator - Dislocated worker employment, employment retention, and earnings replacement
Data Source - State WIA reports, (UI wage records will be the primary source)
Baseline - There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator which is based on the use of UI wage records. An approximation of the goal was derived by analysis of the JTPA program experience of three states using WIA indicator specifications which yielded a range of from 72% to 80% for employment in the first quarter after program exit, from 82% to 91% for employment in the third quarter after program exit, and a range of from 85% to 97% pre-dislocation earnings in the third quarter after program exit.
Comment - Quantifiable levels for performance measures under WIA will be developed through a cooperative negotiation between DOL, its partners, and stakeholders. A small number of states have begun early implementation of WIA for PY 99, and this limited performance will form the basis of baseline data and negotiation of goals for PY 2000 -2001, the period in which all states will operate under WIA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3B
Performance Goal - FY 2001 Upon exit from the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) or NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) programs, 73% will be employed in the third quarter after exit with 82% of the total pre-dislocation earnings.

Outcome Goal 3.4 - Reduce Exploitation of Child Labor and Address Core International Labor Standards Issues -- Performance Goals
3.4A
Performance Goal - FY 2001: Reduce exploitative child labor by promoting international efforts and targeting focused initiatives in selected countries.
FY 2000: Progressively reduce exploitative child labor worldwide by increasing international support and funding the most promising programs and projects in targeted countries.
FY 1999: N/A
FY 1999 Performance Results - N/A
Indicator(s) -
Data Source - ILO-IPEC and DOL/ILAB
Baseline - In 1998, ILAB published its fifth child labor report in the By the Sweat & Toil of Children series. This report focuses on efforts to reduce child labor in 16 countries.
The ILO's Statistical Information and Monitoring Program (SIMPOC) is currently assisting countries in generating statistical data on child labor at the national level that would more accurately assess the extent and nature of the global child labor problem. More than 40 SIMPOC surveys are scheduled to be conducted through 2000 and 2001. In the meantime, baseline information collected through the IPEC projects will be used to establish target populations and measure future progress.
Comment - ILAB is working to establish better survey data and to document the extent and nature of child labor through the ILO's SIMPOC program. Achievement of this performance goal depends upon other countries agreeing to establish and implement IPEC projects to be funded by ILAB. Projects funded in FY 2000 in some instances may not have impact until FY 2001.
