Each county DSS is measured on both the average processing time and percent of applications processed timely via the monthly Adjusted Application Report Card. DDS is measured on a statewide basis on both the average processing time and percent of applications processed timely via the monthly Adjusted DDS Report Card. DSS and DDS must achieve a certain standard to have “passed” the Adjusted Application Report Card for the month.

(IV.)
The Average Processing Time (APT) standard for applications to be processed by the county DSS is either 45 or 90 days, depending on the aid program/category.
The Average Processing Time (APT) standard for DDS to process a disability decision is 70 days. If the 70th day falls on a weekend or state holiday, the 70th day is adjusted to the next workday.
Counties are divided into three categories based on county size. See IV. B. 3 below.
DDS must also meet a PPT. DDS must render a decision within the 70-day time standard for 85% of the cases in Level I counties and for 90% of the cases in Level II and Level III counties. Failure to meet the PPT in one or both levels during a report month will cause DDS to fail the report card.
