OSBORNE •Assistant Yaw, N Secretary for County Operations <br /> May 20, 2022 <br /> Dear County Manager and County Director of Social Services: <br /> As you know, Session Law 2017-41 requires all counties to enter into an annual written <br /> agreement, referred to as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), with the <br /> Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)for all social services programs <br /> excluding medical assistance (Medicaid). State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2018-2019 was the <br /> first year of these agreements. <br /> As COVID-19 has impacted our daily business since March 2020, the leadership in <br /> NCDHHS made the decision to not issue formal corrective actions relating to MOU <br /> performance during SFY 2019-2020. We know that the focus of all our work has been <br /> providing services to the families of North Carolina and you continue to commit to <br /> meeting the needs in your communities, because of that the Department chose to not <br /> issue a new MOU for SFY 2020-2021 but continued to work with counties to meet or <br /> exceed these standards and then issued a new MOU for an effective date of January <br /> 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. NCDHHS again chose not to issue formal corrective <br /> actions relating to MOU performance for the period of January 1, 2021 through June <br /> 30, 2022. The Department determined that the next MOU would be issued for two <br /> years with an effective date of July 1 , 2022 to continue through June 30, 2024. <br /> This letter provides an overview of the MOU process for SFY 2022-2023 and SFY <br /> 2023-2024. <br /> The Department worked jointly with the NC Association of County Directors of Social <br /> Services to vet all measures prior to the finalization for the upcoming MOU, which <br /> remains the same from the most recent MOU. <br /> The measures for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 MOU can be found in Attachment I of the <br /> new MOU and are titled Mandated Performance Requirements. These are the only <br /> measures that will be evaluated as part of the MOU for SFY 2022-2023 and 2023- <br /> NC DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVSERVICES•VISION OF SOCIAL SERVICES <br /> LOCATION 820 S.
