Highlighted Measure:
Cases accepted for
reimbursement by Federal agencies
(%)

Why
this is important:
There are two key factors that determine whether
or not a case will be accepted for reimbursement
by federal agencies. One factor is timeliness
and the other is quality. Not only is it important
to our customers that our efforts are timely
and meet a standard for quality work, but by
receiving federal reimbursement we are able to
augment state funding.
What we're doing about this:
ICRC stresses quality and timeliness by accessing training
opportunities through HUD and EEOC. Additionally, by including
these factors as a part of individual performance standards
we demonstrate the value we place on quality and timeliness
to staff.
