| What is the source of the data provided for this indicator? |
State Database |
| Provide the time period in which the data were collected (e.g., September through December, fourth quarter, selection from the full reporting period). |
Illinois utilized the Cornerstone Data System to measure the time in intake to initial IFSP for every child referred to EI during the time period of July 01, 2014 - June 30, 2015. |
| Describe how the data accurately reflect data for infants and toddlers with IFSPs for the full reporting period. |
The attached chart includes the 24 infants and toddlers for whom the State has attributed to "exceptional family circumstances" or the family did not provide consent for the initial evaluation/assessment. The delay reasons are documented in the Cornerstone Data System. All three geographic groupings of the State (i.e. Cook County, Collar counties and Downstate) have a minimum of 99.70%. |

FFY 2013 Findings of Noncompliance Verified as Corrected
| Question |
Response |
| Describe how the State verified that the source of noncompliance is correctly implementing the regulatory requirements |
CFC office implementation of the specific statutory/regulatory requirement is documented when data demonstrates that a CFC office has 100 percent compliance during three consecutive months |
| Describe how the State verified that each individual case of noncompliance was corrected |
Child-specific/individual instance correction is documented through the use of the Cornerstone and file reviews. Instances of noncompliance are considered resolved when data errors have been corrected, the required action has been completed, or the child is no longer within the jurisdiction of the program. |
FFY 2011 Findings of Noncompliance Verified as Corrected
Actions taken if noncompliance not corrected
The CFC office is required to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) and document its implementation. Bureau staff completes a review and approval of these plans. CFC offices report on implementation of the plan six months after the notice, or more frequently if the CFC office determination is "Needs Intervention" or "Needs Substantial Intervention."
Noncompliance of the 45-day requirement is considered when making local determination scores. The following items are taken into consideration: 1) if a CFC fails to submit a credible CAP, fails to make adequate progress, or fails to implement major features of the plan and 2) if the CFC office has more than one longstanding finding of noncompliance. CFC offices with a determination of "Needs Substantial Intervention" receive a focused monitoring visit. As part of performance contracting, a CFC office receives a penalty adjustment (i.e., a 1 or 2 percent reduction in its quarterly base contract amount) based upon poor performance in meeting the 45-day timeline. Illinois utilized its Cornerstone system to measure the time in intake for every child referred to Early Intervention during the time period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. In response to Indicator 7, data exclude cases delayed for family reasons, as allowed by the federal definition. The last column in the following chart provides statewide and CFC-specific data for Indicator 7.
CFC offices assign a reason (i.e., CFC, family or provider) when a case takes more than 45 days. These data are provided in the following chart, along with a calculation for IFSPs initiated within 45 days (in "On Time column) that includes cases delayed for family reasons. The EI Program includes IFSPs that have been delayed for family reasons when reporting performance data to CFC offices, as delays for any reason can be detrimental to children.Ten of the 25 CFC offices demonstrate 100% compliance with the 45-day requirement using the federal definition. All three geographic groupings of the state (i.e., Cook County Collar County and Downstate) have a minimum of 99% compliance, with only four CFC offices falling below 99.0%
