Two material budget changes were implemented in Family Support Services Division last month. One-time TANF funds were obligated to fund the Data Brokers Project. This adjustment is also 100 percent federal funding. This shortfall was partially created by an increased demand on printer cartridges. The increase was funded by budget transfers and federal percentage matches.
All divisions are individually within their aggregate budgets through the period.
Therapeutic Foster Care in the Division of Children and Family Services continues at an over budget position of 5.2 percent. The state share of Medicaid expenditures in Developmental Disabilities Services Division also continues in a negative position at 6.5 percent over budget through April. New adoptions for April remained very active at 85 newly reported placements for the month. Foster care children stayed relatively stable. Cash expenditures for foster care have been rather constant for about five months with a slight reduction in expenditures in April.
