RECOMMENDATION(S):

Employment and Human Services (0504 and 0503): APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5024 authorizing an adjustment to the Federal, State and County expenditure and revenue budgets based on revised caseload projections for CalWORKS (0504) and General Assistance (0503).

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will adjust both the expenditure and revenue budgets of CalWORKS and General Assistance to more accurately reflect a reduction in caseload projections for FY 16/17. The net effect is a reduction to both expenditures and revenues of $4,381,232. There is no impact to the net county cost.

BACKGROUND:

Budget projections for recipient cash aid expenditures, which are based on caseload, are required to be prepared six months in advance of the current budget year. Consequently, the current CalWORKS cash aid expenditures were projected in January 2016 based on prior and projected caseloads. This budget adjustment will bring into alignment the current CalWORKS assistance expenditures to reflect actual recipient cash aid payments, which are lower than previously projected.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Appropriations will not be properly allocated.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
