RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE discharge from accountability of 1,348 uncollectible General Assistance program accounts receivable totaling $256,577.53 and AUTHORIZE the Director of Employment and Human Services Department to write off the outstanding balances in the department's collection records. A true and correct list of the accounts receivable proposed for discharge is provided as part of this request.
FISCAL IMPACT:
General Assistance program accounts receivable are maintained on an internal subsidiary ledger and do not impact the County financial statements. The accounts receivable recommended for discharge are non-fraudulent debts established between calendar years 1991 and 2012, for which the cost of further collection efforts is found to outweigh the potential collection. Collection costs are 100% County funded and include administrative and personnel costs, legal filing fees, investigative costs, and hearing costs.
