Recommended Action

Adopt budget resolution adjusting the Health and Human Services Agency's adopted budget for fiscal year 2024-25 to reflect an increase of $2,552,203 to the 1991 Realignment Family Support Subaccount fund. (See Att. A. Budget Resolution)

Strategic Plan Goal(s)

Thriving Residents

Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Per Welfare & Institutions Code (WIC) section 17601.75, all the funds deposited in the Family Support account shall be used by each county to pay an increased county contribution toward the costs of CalWORKs assistance payments.

On a monthly basis, the CA800 State claim is filed with the State to request reimbursement for all paid cash aid for CalWORKs clients. In turn, the State issues through Cash Advance remittance advice reconciliation of all CalWORKs Assistance expenditures filed (AA190). The State reimburses the Federal portion. The State portion of the AA190 reduces the State reimbursement amount and requests that counties use the 1991 Realignment Family Support subaccount revenue to pay for the remainder of the cost CalWORKs assistance incurred by the county.

Staff is requesting approval to increase appropriations to Revenue and Expenditures to the 1991 Realignment Family Support subaccount fund (1025). Appropriations were not budgeted in the FY2024-25 Adopted budget and were erroneously omitted in the Mid-year and 3rd Quarter monitor reports.

Approval will allow staff to budget and transfer projected funds from the 1991 Realignment Family Support subaccount fund (1025) to the HHSA Operating fund (1045) to reimburse for costs incurred related to CalWORKs assistance through the end of Fiscal Year 2024-25.
