 (a) In order to provide effective purchased services to the needy citizens of Arkansas, the Secretary of the Department of Human Services is authorized to pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the total amount of a Title XX contract to the service provider on the effective date of the contract. The amount of the advance payment shall be adjusted out of the reimbursement actually earned by the provider during the contract period.  (b) This section will be used only after the secretary has conducted a study of the financial condition of the contracting agency to determine if an advance payment is necessary. If the advance is necessary, the secretary shall forward his or her request and the reasons therefor to the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State for approval.  (c)  (1) If the request is approved, the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall loan the necessary amount to the appropriate fund accounts within the Department of Human Services from the Budget Stabilization Trust Fund.

AR Code § 19-7-703 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 19 - Public Finance|Chapter 7 - Federal Funds|Subchapter 7 - Title XX Social Security Funds|§ 19-7-703. Loan provision

 (a) It is found and determined that the continued operations of the Title XX Services Program of the Department of Human Services, in accordance with the approved annual operations plan, are, from time to time, seriously impaired by either administrative oversights and delays by the United States Office of Grants Management or by the processes of federal fiscal year conversion. It is further found and determined that such delays in the proper preparation and transmittal of federal grant award authorizations and letter of credit instruments have created unnecessary hardships on the providers of services and the needy citizens of this state. Therefore, upon certification of the pending availability of federal funding by the Secretary of the Department of Human Services, the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State may grant temporary advances, the maximum amount not to exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000), from the Budget Stabilization Trust Fund to the appropriate account of the Department of Human Services so affected by such delays.  (b) The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall recover within a period of twenty (20) days such temporary advances upon receipt of the grant award authorizations or letter of credit instruments.
AR Code § 19-7-704 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 19 - Public Finance|Chapter 7 - Federal Funds|Subchapter 7 - Title XX Social Security Funds|§ 19-7-704. Deduction of tax withholding for individual contract providers

 (a) It is found and determined that certain rules and regulations of the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service require the deduction of Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding from persons providing services under individual purchase-of-service contracts, who are in fact independent contractors, or employees of the person receiving the service, and that there is presently no provision for payment of Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding for these individuals. It is further found and determined that the use of individual contracts is necessary to the operation of the Title XIX and Title XX programs, particularly in the areas of day care and services to the elderly. Therefore, whenever the regulations of the Social Security Administration or the Internal Revenue Service require the deduction of Federal Insurance Contributions Act or federal income tax withholding for an individual providing services under a Title XX individual purchase-of-service contract, the Department of Human Services may pay the necessary Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax out of federal funds and state or local donated matching funds and may collect the necessary Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding as agent for the client receiving the services.  (b) Individuals for whom Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax is paid and Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding is deducted under this section shall not be considered as employees of the state for the purposes of determining eligibility for unemployment compensation or workers' compensation, for the purpose of state income tax withholding, or for any other purposes.

Any unanticipated federal funding received under this provision will be handled in accordance with the terms of the Miscellaneous Federal Grant Act, § 19-7-501 et seq.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 19 - Public Finance|Chapter 7 - Federal Funds|Subchapter 7 - Title XX Social Security Funds|§ 19-7-706. Transfer of funds and appropriations

 (a)  (1) The Secretary of the Department of Human Services, in accordance with rules established by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State, shall have the authority to transfer funds and appropriations from the appropriate division of the Department of Human Services to the various agencies of the department which receive allotments of Title XX funds. These transfers shall be limited to the allotment of funds available to each agency within the department.  (2)  (A) In the event that funds and appropriations transferred under this section are not fully utilized, they will be available for transfer back to the appropriate division of the department for reallocation.  (B) It is further intended that if transfer of appropriations among line items appropriated to the appropriate division of the department becomes necessary for effective operation of the program, these shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State. However, no such transfer will be used to increase authorization for regular salaries.      (b) The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and the secretary shall cooperate to establish such fund accounts for deposit and disbursement of federal and local Title XX funds as are necessary for the orderly operation of a Title XX services program. The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and the secretary shall establish procedures for the transfers of funds necessary to make reimbursement to providers or to agency fund accounts in payment for eligible services. These procedures will include provision for use of state matching funds where appropriated by law.
