Pennsylvania Code › Title 55 - HUMAN SERVICES › Part VI - Mental Health/Intellectual Disability/Autism Manual › Subpart C - Administration and Fiscal Management › Chapter 4300 - COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY FISCAL MANUAL › FISCAL MANAGEMENT OF THE COUNTY PROGRAM › Section 4300.158 - Revenue

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) Allocations
					 from the Department are to defray part of the cost of county programs
					 authorized by the act and approved by the Department. Income from the amounts
					 paid for the same purpose from a public or private source directly to
					 participating counties, facilities or individuals shall be deducted from
					 approved expenditures to determine the amount eligible for Departmental
					 participation.
(b) The Department
					 will not participate in costs for a mentally disabled person until the person,
					 who has been admitted or committed, or is receiving services or benefits under
					 the act, has exhausted his eligibility and receipt of benefits under other
					 private, public, local, Commonwealth or Federal programs.
(c) Unrestricted donations and gifts shall be
					 considered as income to reduce gross eligible expenditures in arriving at
					 expenditures eligible for Departmental participation. Since donations and gifts
					 are a revenue of the county or contracted agency, they are available for use by
					 the county or contracted agency to increase the level of eligible expenditures.
(d) Donations and gifts may be
					 used for paying expenses which are eligible or ineligible for Departmental
					 participation if given or restricted by the donor for that purpose. This
					 includes income from fund-raising activities which publicly identify the
					 purpose for which contributions are solicited and their restricted
					 use.
(e) Donations and gifts from
					 fund-raising organizations may be used for paying expenses which are eligible
					 or ineligible for Departmental participation if given or restricted by the
					 fund-raising organization for that purpose. A fund-raising organization shall
					 be separate from the contract agency in that it is not involved in the delivery
					 of service and is not funded directly or indirectly by Department
					 grants.
(f) Interest earned on
					 Departmental funds shall be considered as other income to reduce total
					 expenditures in arriving at eligible expenditures for Departmental
					 participation. Since interest is considered a legitimate revenue of the county
					 program, it is available for use by the program to increase the level of
					 service provided. Interest may not be used to offset the county's 10% matching
					 share, to fund nonmental health/intellectual disability services, or to fund
					 general county expenses not properly apportioned to the mental
					 health/intellectual disability program.
