Pay Rates and Level of Effort for both SAMHSA Adult Drug Court and CJD Specialty Court Programs were approved by each funding agency effective February 24, 2023.

Solution: Changes in Pay rate and level of effort for grant programs require Commissioners Court Approval.

Result: Approval of new pay rates and level of effort will allow both programs to fully operate without interruption of services.

Background:

The changes in level of effort do not require a re-issuance of Notice of Award letters as the adjustment does not exceed the 25% threshold.
