PY 2001:
PY 2000:
PY 1999: N/A Data Source: Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record Data (WIASRD) included in the Enterprise Information Management System (EIMS); UI Wage Records Baseline: There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator, which is based on the use of UI wage records. PY 2000, the first full year of WIA implementation, will constitute the baseline year for this measure. The performance measure will be derived from the agreed upon levels of performance for all States. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: The current FY 1999-2004 Strategic Plan includes the new WIA goal based upon a weighted average of negotiated levels of performance for all States. The goals for PY 2000, PY 2001 and PY 2002 stated in this plan also reflect these negotiated levels for all States. 1.1B Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. Of those Welfare-to-Work (WtW) participants placed in unsubsidized employment, 84% remained in the workforce for six months with 59% average earnings increase by the second consecutive quarter following the placement quarter. FY 1999: N/A Indicator FY 2002:
FY 2001:
FY 2000:
FY1999: N/A Data Source: WtW Quarterly Financial Status Report Baseline: New Goal. The baseline for this performance measure will be FY 2000. Comment: The 84 percent retention rate achieved in FY 2000 is attributed largely to the strong WtW emphasis on post-employment and other supportive services. The 59 percent earnings increase rate is likely to be inflated due to misinterpretations of the reporting guidance by a number of grantees. DOL will use corrected data to establish new baselines for FY 2002 goals and evaluate the need to revise the targets for the goals upward. DOL anticipates raising the FY 2002 retention and earnings increase goals. 1.1C Performance Results: PY 2000: N/A for all indicators. PY 1999: Achieved for all indicators. Indicator PY 2002:
PY 2001:
PY 2000:
PY 1999:
Data Source: State reports, UI wage records, and AJB Center Reports. Baseline: During PY 2001, DOL will transition to a new Labor Exchange Performance Measurement system. A baseline will be established for the entered employment rate and retention rate goals based on PY 2001 results. Baseline data currently do not exist for the job seeker entered employment and employment retention goals. PY 2001 data will be the baseline for job openings listed. Comment: Indicators for job seekers were revised to be consistent with the new WIA program. *ETA is undergoing a transition to a new labor exchange performance measurement system. These performance goals are estimates and will be revised when baseline data become available. 1.1D Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. Grants were awarded to 23 state or local recipients. FY 1999: N/A Indicator: FY 2002:
FY 2001:
FY 2000: The new Work Incentive Grant program will be implemented by September 30, 2000, with plans for 20 to 40 awards in State and local areas to enhance services for people with disabilities in the One-Stop Center environment. FY 1999: N/A Data Source: Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record Data (WIASARD) included in the Enterprise Information Management System (EIMS) from State and/or local areas receiving Work Incentive Grants Baseline: New Goal. The baseline is to be established using PY 2000 WIA data. The baseline will be the number of people with disabilities, as of the beginning of FY 2001 (10/1/00), registered in the workforce area(s) that receive Work Incentive Grants and the number of those registered who are employed in the quarter after exit. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: The Work Incentive Grant program is directed to systemic change for people with disabilities obtaining services under the WIA. Therefore, the current (FY2002) strategic goals are established based upon the extent to which the One-Stop delivery system in the workforce areas which receive grants increase the percent of people with disabilities served. 1.1E Performance Results: PY 2000: N/A PY 1999: N/A Indicator: PY 2002:
PY 2001:
PY 2000:
PY 1999: N/A Data Source: WIA State reports Baseline: The goal was based upon limited grantee experience gathering participant customer satisfaction information, including pilot projects. Comment: The indicator is an index of participant and employer customer satisfaction based upon three questions that will be asked of a sample of WIA program exiters and three questions that will be asked of a sample of employers. The index is based upon the American Customer Satisfaction Index. The current FY 1999-2004 Strategic Plan includes the new WIA goal based upon a weighted average of negotiated levels of performance for all States. The goals for PY 2000, PY 2001 and PY 2002 stated in this plan also reflect these negotiated levels for all States. 1.1F FY 2001: Prepare 27,500 for the labor force by providing them with tools and education on equal pay, etc. FY 2000: Prepare 25,000 for the labor force by providing them with tools and education on equal pay, etc. FY 1999: N/A Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. The 31,588 women directly assisted surpassed the target of 25,000 by 26%. FY 1999: N/A Indicator:
Data Source:
Baseline: 25,000 women prepared in FY2000 Comment: The true measurement for this goal is the degree of knowledge gained by women and the extent it enabled successful entry into the work force and/or improvements in pay, benefits, working conditions, etc. Approximately 2 million women are indirectly affected through policy and other advocacy efforts. 1.1G
FY 2001: N/A FY 2000: N/A FY 1999: N/A Performance Results: FY 2000: N/A FY 1999: N/A Indicator: Employment and retention rate of veteran job seekers after registering for public labor exchange services. Note: In addition to veterans, "other eligible persons" as defined by Title 38 also receive employment services and are counted as part of this goal. Under Title 38, "eligible person" means a) the spouse of any person who died of a service-connected disability, and b) the spouse of any member of the Armed Forces serving on active duty who, at the time of application for assistance meets specific criteria as provided in this Title. The portion of the serviced population which comprises "other eligible persons" is less than ½ of 1% of the total population served. Data Source: State reports and UI wage records. Baseline: FY 2002. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: DOL is undergoing a transition to a new labor exchange performance measurement system. These performance goals are estimates and will be revised when baseline data become available. 1.1H FY 2001: Same as FY 2002. FY 2000: N/A Performance Results: FY 2000: N/A FY 1999: N/A Indicator: Number of those veterans and other eligible persons enrolled in HVRP who enter employment Note: In addition to veterans "other eligible persons" as defined by Title 38 also receive employment services and are counted as part of this goal. See definition for other eligible persons in the preceding goal matrix. Data Source: Reports submitted by VETS grantees Baseline: FY 2001: Baseline will be established in FY 2001. Comment: The HVRP program has had
a rapid expansion since FY 1999, with many new grantees. As these grantees gain
experience dealing with this hard to serve population, performance results are
expected to increase. 1.1I Performance Results: FY 1999: N/A Indicator: Number of demonstration programs implemented Data Source: Administrative data Baseline: N/A Comment: The new Office of Employment Disability Policy will use program evaluation and demonstration programs as key elements for achieving the mission of the office. The demonstration programs will be evaluated and those found successful will be implemented in the WIA youth programs and the One-Stop system.. Outcome Goal 1.2: Increase the Number of Youth Making A Successful Transition to Work--Performance Goals 1.2A Performance Results: PY 2000: N/A PY 1999: N/A Indicator: PY 2002:
PY 2001:
PY 2000:
PY 1999: N/A Data Source: State WIA reports included in the Enterprise Information System (EIMS); UI wage records Baseline: Younger Youth Indicator: There is no prior experience with this indicator and no basis for approximating a baseline from JTPA reports. The negotiation process for establishing expected levels of performance included information about the percentage of all low income youth who completed high school in each State (the national average is about 75%), the percentage of JTPA youth who completed a major level of education among those who were school dropouts, and the expected relative levels of service to in-school youth and dropouts. Older Youth Indicator: 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 seven States using WIA indicator specifications. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: Quantified levels for performance measures under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) were developed through cooperative negotiation between DOL, its partners, and stakeholders. A small number of States began early implementation of WIA in PY 1999. For the younger youth indicator, data had not previously been collected which could have assisted in the development 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. For the older youth indicator, the 2000 and 2001 goals served as a proxy measure for the expected level of performance based upon levels negotiated with a limited number of early implementing States. The goal went from 70% to 69% for PY 1999. Note: The goal excludes youth who go on to post secondary education or advanced training. 1.2B Performance Results: PY 2000: N/A PY 1999: The goal was achieved: 88.3% of Job Corps graduates entered employment or enrolled in education. For those placed in jobs, the average hourly wage was $7.49. Indicator: PY 2002:
PY 2001:
PY 2000:
PY 1999:
Data Source: Job Corps Management Information System Data Source: Job Corps Management Information System Baseline: The PY 2000 results will serve as the baseline, due to a change in the graduate definition in 7/00 to reflect additional requirements for graduation. This information will be compiled and made available in August, 2001. Comment: Job Corps targets severely disadvantaged youth with a variety of barriers to self-sufficiency, including deficiencies in education and job skills. To achieve the enhanced quality of placement and job retention required by the WIA, in FY 2002 Job Corps will focus resources on program improvements that enhance the full Job Corps experience for students, from reinforced outreach and admission strategies and center program effectiveness to intensified center and post-center career development support. Job Corps introduced a new graduate definition effective 7/00 to reflect additional requirements for graduation. Requirements under this new definition include skill attainment associated with the Career Preparation Period, participation in community service projects, and participation in employer-based work experience. 1.2C Performance Results: PY 2000: N/A PY 1999: N/A Indicator: PY 2002:
PY 2001:
PY 2000:
PY 1999: N/A Data Source: Grantee reports Baseline: Younger Youth Indicator: The baseline for this program will be established in PY 2000. Older Youth Indicator: The baseline for this program will be established in PY 2000. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: The Youth Opportunity initiative is authorized under the new Workforce Investment Act. It is aimed at increasing the long-term employment of youth living in high-poverty communities. As planned, further development and refinements to the programs and the measures resulted in some revisions to the goal. 1.2D Performance Results: FY 2000: N/A FY 1999: N/A Indicator: FY 2002: 65% will get jobs or be enrolled in education or training. FY 2001: 65% will get jobs or be enrolled in education or training. FY 1999-FY 2000: N/A Data Source: Youthful Offender Program Management Information System. Baseline: This is a new initiative. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: Youthful offenders are a particularly difficult population to serve. Also, most employers do not readily hire individuals with criminal records. 1.3A FY 1999-2001: Same as FY 2002. Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was substantially achieved. BLS missed the timeliness target for the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and the quality target for the Producer Price Index (PPI). FY 1999: The goal was not achieved. BLS missed the timeliness targets for the National Labor Force; Employment, Hours, and Earnings; and PPI, and the quality target for the PPI. Indicator: Percentage of releases of National Labor Force; Employment, Hours, and Earnings; Consumer Prices and Price Indexes; Producer Prices and Price Indexes; and Employment Cost Index that are prepared on time; measures of quality for each Principal Federal Economic Indicator; average number of Internet site user sessions each month. Data Source: Office of Publications and Special Studies report of release dates against release schedule of BLS Principal Federal Economic Indicators; Press releases for each Economic Indicator; Internet site analysis software. Baseline: Timeliness measures for FY 1997: National Labor Force (100 percent); Employment, Hours, and Earnings (100 percent); Consumer Prices and Price Indexes (100 percent); Producer Prices and Price Indexes (100 percent); and Employment Cost Index (100 percent). Quality measures: National Labor Force: Number of months that a change of at least 0.25 percentage point in the monthly national unemployment rate will be statistically significant at the 90 percent confidence level = 12. (Baseline is FY 1997.) Employment, Hours, and Earnings: Root mean square error of total nonfarm employment (a measure of the amount of revision) <70,000. (Baseline is FY 2000.) Consumer Prices and Price Indexes: Number of months that the standard error on the 12-month change in the U.S. City Average All Items CPI-U Index was 0.25 percentage point or less = 12. (Baseline is FY 1999.) Producer Prices and Price Indexes: (1) Percent of domestic output, within the scope of the PPI, that is covered by the PPI: goods produced = 85.1 percent; services produced = 38.8 percent; total production = 52.6 percent. (Baseline is FY 1997.) (2) Percent of months that the change in the one-month Finished Goods Index (not seasonally adjusted) between the first-published and final release was +0.2 percent. (Baseline will be set in FY 2001.) Employment Cost Index: Number of quarters the change in the Civilian Compensation Less Sales Workers Index was within +0.5 percent at the 90 percent confidence level = 4. (Baseline is FY 1998.) Internet Usage: Average number of user sessions each month = 707,347. (Baseline is FY 1999.) Comment: 1.3B FY 1999-2001: Same as FY 2002. Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. Since the performance indicators are the accomplishment of milestones that are specific to the fiscal year, there is no continuity in indicators from year to year, even though the performance goal remained the same. FY 1999: The goal was achieved. Indicator: Complete full implementation of a four-year outlet rotation cycle. Data Source: BLS Quarterly Review and Analysis System Baseline: Since activities described are new activities, there are no baseline measures. Comment: Since activities described in all indicators are new activities, there are no corresponding FY 1999-2000 results, FY 2001 measures, or baseline measures. 2.1A
FY 2001: Garment:- increase to 85% in San Francisco and 42% in New York City (recidivism: 90% in San Francisco and 57% in New York City); in agricultural commodities:- 47% in onion, 80% in tomato, and 70% in lettuce (recidivism: 64% in tomato, 47% in onion and 48% in lettuce); health care:- 62% in residential health care (assisted living facilities) (recidivism: 60%). Activities ongoing in FY 2001 to support goal accomplishment in FY 2002 (recidivism: ongoing activities to support goal accomplishment in FY 2002). FY 2000: Garment:- increase to 45% in Los Angeles (recidivism: establish baseline) Agricultural Commodities:- establish baseline for garlic (recidivism: establish baseline) Poultry Processing:- 5% increase (recidivism: 5% increase) Forestry:- establish baseline (recidivism: (establish baseline) Health Care:- 5% increase in nursing homes (recidivism: 5% increase) Establish baselines for the restaurant and grocery industries (recidivism: establish baselines) FY 1999: Increase compliance with labor standards laws and regulations by 5% in the San Francisco and New York City garment industries (recidivism: establish baselines); in the agricultural industry, establish baselines for the commodities of onions, lettuce and cucumbers; and establish baseline for residential health care (assisted living facilities) (recidivism: establish baseline.) N/A--Child labor compliance. Performance Results: FY 2000: 1. The garment, poultry processing and healthcare (nursing homes) industry goals were not met. The forestry and agriculture (garlic) goals were met. The garment, poultry processing, healthcare (nursing home) and agriculture (garlic) recidivism goals were not met.The forestry recidivism goal was met. 2. The child labor goal was met. The compliance surveys established a baseline of 79% in full service restaurants, 70% in fast food restaurants, and 82% in grocery stores. The child labor recidivism goal was met. The compliance surveys established baselines of 53% in full service restaurants, 73% in fast food restaurants and 72% in grocery stores. FY 1999: 1. The garment goal was not met, remaining goals were met. 2. N/A--Child labor compliance. Indicator: Trends in compliance/violation rates by industry (NAIC Code); changes in results of compliance surveys in targeted industries Data Source: Wage Hour Investigator Support and Reporting Database (WHISARD); results of compliance surveys Baseline: Industry/sector-specific baseline data 79% compliance in the San Francisco garment industry ( 1997); recidivism: 86% (1999) 37% compliance in the New York City garment industry ( 1997); recidivism: 52% (1999) 22% compliance in the Los Angeles garment industry ( 1994); recidivism: 37% (2000) 75% compliance in tomato commodities ( 1996); recidivism: 59% (1998) 70% compliance in the nursing home industry ( 1998); recidivism: 76% (1997) 57% compliance in residential health care (assisted living facilities); recidivism 55% (1999) 40% compliance in the poultry processing industry; recidivism 40% (1998) 49% compliance in cucumber commodities; recidivism 37% (1999) 42% compliance in onion commodities; recidivism 42% (1999) 65% compliance in lettuce commodities; recidivism 43% (1999) 38% compliance in garlic commodity (2000); recidivism: TBD 30% compliance in forestry (planting and thinning); recidivism 15% (2000) 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. 2.1B FY 2001: Achieve timely union reporting such that a minimum of 88% of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely file union annual financial reports for public disclosure access. FY 2000: Minimum of 87% of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely file union annual financial reports for public disclosure. FY 1999: 85% of unions with receipts greater than $200,000, timely file union annual financial reports for public disclosure. Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved for FY 2000. 87.2% of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely filed union annual financial reports for public disclosure access. FY 1999: The goal was met. 89.8% of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely filed union annual financial reports for public disclosure access. Indicator: Percentage of financial reports timely filed for public disclosure availability Data Source: Labor Organization Reporting System Baseline: Timely filing of annual financial reports required of unions with annual receipts over $200,000: 79% in FY 1997 Comment: The indicators reflect union compliance with laws established to ensure democratic practices and financial integrity in unions in the American workforce. 2.1C FY 2001: Increase by 2.5% (to 1,725) per year the number of closed fiduciary investigations of employee pension plans where assets are restored, prohibited transactions are corrected, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected from mismanagement and risk of future loss is reduced. FY 2000: 2.1C Increase by 2.5% both the number of closed investigations of employee pension and health benefits plans where assets are restored (to 819) and the number where prohibited transactions are reversed (to 301). FY 1999: 2.1C Increase by 2.5% both the number of closed investigations of employee pension and health benefits plans where assets are restored (to 537) and prohibited transactions are corrected (to 241) Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. 1,187 cases where assets were restored and 538 cases where Prohibited Transactions were corrected. FY 1999: Goal was achieved. 958 cases where assets were restored and 389 cases where Prohibited Transactions were corrected. Indicator: Number of closed fiduciary investigations of employees' pension plans where assets are restored, prohibited transactions are corrected, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected Data Source: Enforcement Management Systems Baseline: The number of investigations of employee pension plans where assets are restored, prohibited transactions are corrected, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected for FY 1999-2000 (1,683). Comment: The protection of plan assets is the primary investigative purpose. When plan assets have been potentially endangered by an imprudent act on the part of a plan fiduciary or have otherwise been misused, DOL seeks to have the plan made whole through the restoration of assets. 2.1D FY 2001: Increase by 2.5% (to 340) per year the number of closed fiduciary investigations of employee health and welfare plans where assets are restored, prohibited transactions are corrected, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected from mismanagement and risk of future loss is reduced. FY 1999-FY 2000: N/A Performance Results: FY 1999-FY2000: N/A Indicator: Number of closed fiduciary investigations of employees' health and welfare plans where assets are restored, prohibited transactions are corrected, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected Data Source: Enforcement Management Systems Baseline: The number of investigations of employee health and welfare plans where prohibited transactions are corrected, assets are restored, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected for fiscal years 1999 and 2000 (332). Comment: The protection of plan assets is the primary investigative purpose. When plan assets have been potentially endangered by an imprudent act on the part of a plan fiduciary or have otherwise been misused, DOL seeks to have the transaction corrected to minimize potential loss. 2.2A Performance Results: FY 2000: This goal was substantially achieved. 23 States met or exceeded the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality (nationwide, 70.3% of all nonmonetary determinations were adequate.); 47 States met or exceeded the Secretary's Standard for intrastate payment timeliness (nationally, 89.9% of all intrastate first payments were made within 14/21 days). FY 1999: N/A Indicator: FY 2002: Eligibility Determinations Fairness: Increase to 30 the number of States meeting or exceeding the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality; Payment Timeliness: Increase to 49 the number of States meeting or exceeding the Secretary's Standard (minimum performance criterion) for intrastate payment timeliness. FY 2001: Eligibility Determinations Fairness: increase to 26 the number of States meeting or exceeding the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality; and Payment Timeliness: Increase to 48 the number of States meeting or exceeding the Secretary's Standard (minimum performance criterion) for intrastate payment timeliness. FY 2000: Eligibility Determinations Fairness: Increase to 24 the number of States meeting or exceeding the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality; and Payment Timeliness: Increase to 47 States the number of States meeting or exceeding the Secretary's Standard (minimum performance criterion) for intrastate payment timeliness. FY 1999: N/A Data Source: Eligibility Determinations Quality: ETA 9056; Payment timeliness:9050 Report Baseline: Fiscal Year 1999: Eligibility Determinations Fairness: 20 States met the minimum criterion that at least 75% of their determinations score over 80 points; nationally, 71% of all non-monetary adjudications scored >80 points using the standard review instrument. Payment Timeliness: 46 States met the Secretary's Standard that at least 87% of intrastate lst payments were made within 14 days (in States with a waiting week) or 21 days (non-waiting week States). Nationally, 90% of intrastate payments were made within 14/21 days. CommentThe ETA 9056 report is validated in two ways. The data entry software has edits for several elements. More importantly, two expert reviewers must agree on every rated element to ensure validity of the quality review of each determination. The ETA 9050 report is not now validated but the Department plans to validate it and most other key reports as part of the UI Data Validation system. 2.2B Performance Results: FY 2000: N/A FY 1999: N/A Indicator: FY 2002: Establish a baseline for the average time required in the ETA's Regional Offices to process applications for permanent alien residency. FY 1999-2001: N/A Data Source: Regional Office Foreign Labor Certification data system, implemented in early FY 2001. Baseline: To be established. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: At present, SESAs first process applications for permanent alien certification to ensure absence of adverse impact; ETA Regional Offices complete the review and then they go to INS. SESAs do not report processing times. Starting in FY 2001, Regional Offices will assume responsibility for the entire review of applications and forwarding the applications to INS. The new regional data system will enable tracking of processing times and age of unprocessed cases. 2.2C FY 2001: Increase by 2% (to $66 million) benefit recoveries achieved through the assistance of Benefit Advisors. FY 2000: Increase by 2% (to $53 million) benefit recoveries achieved through the assistance of Benefit Advisors. FY 1999: N/A Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. The Department recovered $67 million as a result of participant assistance. FY 1999: 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: Represents the amount of dollars returned to participants via the intervention of Benefit Advisers. 2.2D FY 1999-FY 2001: Same as FY 2002. Performance Results: FY 2000: The goal was achieved. The number of workers increased by 2% (From 46.6 million to 48.3 million). FY 1999: The goal was achieved. 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. 2.2E 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 productions 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). Performance Results: FY 2000: This goal was exceeded. Average lost production days (LPD) measured for Quality Case Management cases in FY 2000 was 164 days. A new LPD baseline representing all cases was established at 68.3 workdays. FY 1999: This goal was exceeded. Average LPD for cases measured in FY 1999 was 173 days against a target of 178 days. Indicator: Average number of days lost due to disability for all cases Data Source: Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) data systems; Federal agency payroll offices; Office of Personnel Management employment statistics. Baseline: Baseline for Quality Case Management (QCM) cases only is the FY 1997 actual: 189 workdays. FY 2000 baseline: 68.3 workdays (revised by .2 workdays in 1st quarter FY2001 to reflect receipt of late data). Comment: In FY 2000 DOL established a new baseline covering all Federal employee injuries. 2.2F FY 2001: Produce $95 million in cumulative first-year savings 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. Performance Results: FY 2000: This goal was exceeded. Cumulative first-year savings for FY 1999-2000 were $72 million. FY 1999: This goal was 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 in FY 2000 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 million 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. 2.2G FY 2001: In the FECA program, reduce the average annual cost for physical therapy and psychiatric services cases 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 an 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. Performance Results: FY 2000: This goal was exceeded. The FECA program saved $34.5 million (61% over target) using fee schedules for Inpatient and Pharmacy services. FY 1999: Both the original and revised goals were achieved. 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 2001). Overall average case costs, after adjustment for inflation, for all cases receiving medical services. Average case costs for services, adjusted for inflation and changes in industry practices, paid for selected medical conditions. 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 Schedule 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 all cases receiving medical services. Selected Medical Services Average Cost Baseline: Average annual cost per case in FY 2000 for cases receiving medical services selected for review. Comment: The FECA program uses Fee Schedules to set payment levels for standard categories of billed medical services. A special automated bill review, the 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 services provided and matched to medical condition. These mechanisms, along with procedural changes and other quality controls, will result in overall reduction of program medical costs. 2.2H FY 2001: Reduce processing time from 4-5 years to 3-4 years to send benefit determinations to participants in defined benefit pension plans taken over by PBGC. FY 2000: Reduce processing time from 5-6 years to 4-5 years to send benefit determinations to participants in defined benefit pension plans taken over by PBGC. FY 1999: N/A Performance Results: FY 2000: This goal was achieved. FY 1999: N/A Indicator: Timeliness of benefit determinations to participants in trusteed plans Data Source: 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 over 500,000 in FY 2002, while trusteed plans will have increased to about 3,000. Ultimately, faster case processing leads to increased accuracy of benefit payments.

PY 2000, the first full year of WIA implementation, will constitute the baseline year for this measure. The performance measure is derived from the agreed upon levels of performance for all States. Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes available. Comment: The current FY 1999-2004 Strategic Plan includes the new WIA goal based upon a weighted average of negotiated levels of performance for all States. The goals for PY 2000, PY 2001 and PY 2002 stated in this plan also reflect these negotiated levels for all States. 2.3B Performance Results: FY 2000: N/A FY 1999: N/A Indicator: FY 2002:
