 The 2017-18 Budget: Overview of the Governor's Criminal Justice Budget
 

Format:
HTML

January 27, 2017 - 
 The primary goal of California’s criminal justice system is to provide public safety by deterring and preventing crime, punishing individuals who commit crime, and reintegrating criminals back into the community. The state’s major criminal justice programs include the court system, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The Governor’s budget for 2017-18 proposes total expenditures of $16.1 billion for judicial and criminal justice programs. In this post, we describe recent trends in state spending on criminal justice and provide an overview of the major changes in the Governor’s proposed budget for criminal justice programs in 2017-18.

 The 2017-18 Budget: Trial Court Security Funding for Counties
 

Format:
HTML

January 25, 2017 - 
 The Governor’s budget for 2017-18 proposes a $280,000 General Fund augmentation to counties for increased trial court security levels resulting from a separate proposal to reallocate four existing vacant trial court judgeships to trial courts with greatest judicial need as of January 1, 2018. We recommend the Legislature reject the Governor’s proposal due to a lack of justification that the proposed funding is needed.

VA Accredited Representative FAQs | Veterans Affairs
Find and appoint an accredited representative
Choose 1 of these 3 ways to cancel your representation:

Call us at 800-827-1000 (TTY: 711).
Mail a letter to this address:Claims Intake CenterPO BOX 4444Janesville, WI 53547
Fax a letter to if you live in the U.S. (Or, if you live outside the U.S., fax a letter to .)

An accredited attorney or claims agent can charge you fees for their services only after all of these are true:

We made a decision on your initial claim, and
We received a fee agreement signed by both you and the accredited attorney or claims agent, and
We received your VA Form 21-22a appointing the accredited attorney or claims agent as your representative

Before choosing someone to help you with your claim, make sure they’re accredited with VA. You’ll also want to discuss the fee amount, how it will be paid, and what happens if you discharge the accredited attorney or claims agent. And you’ll want to discuss what happens if they withdraw from representation before an award of benefits.

If you entered into a fee agreement with an accredited attorney or claims agent and you discharge them or they withdraw from the case before benefits are awarded, we urge you to review your agreement and discuss their contributions to the case at the time of their discharge or withdrawal.
In some cases, typically when only a small amount of work has been done on the case, the accredited attorney or claims agent will waive their eligibility for fees at that time. If they don’t, and you receive a favorable decision on your claim, the accredited attorney or claims agent may be determined eligible to receive the total amount stated in your fee agreement. If you disagree that they should receive that amount, you may request that the Office of General Counsel review the fee to make sure it is fair, but you must act quickly.
Learn how to challenge a fee (PDF)

Yes. If you believe an accredited representative demonstrated a lack of skill or engaged in misconduct, you can file a complaint with VA’s Office of General Counsel.

Evaluation of a Tax Exemption for Zero-Emission Buses
As described in the “Background” section, various state and federal programs subsidize transit agencies’ acquisition of ZEBs and installation of related infrastructure. Although most of this funding is not dedicated exclusively to ZEBs, the total amount is much larger than the amount provided by the ZEB exemption.

Exemption Not Targeted to Address Fiscal Problems
Two key aspects of the ZEB exemption make it ill-suited to provide fiscal relief to transit agencies:

All Transit Agencies Eligible for Exemption. The ZEB exemption is available to all transit agencies, including those with relatively small ridership declines or limited fiscal distress. State efforts to address transit agencies’ fiscal problems should instead reflect the varying severity of those problems across agencies.
Rail Ridership Has Dropped More Than Bus Ridership. In 2023, bus ridership was 24 percent lower than in 2019, while rail ridership was 42 percent lower. As a result, the ZEB exemption—and more generally, financial assistance tied to buses—directs relatively little relief to the transit agencies hit hardest by pandemic-era declines in ridership.

State Faces Large Budget Shortfall
As noted earlier, the state’s budget condition likely necessitates ongoing spending reductions, revenue increases, or both. As such, ongoing General Fund commitments—including tax expenditures—should clear a very high bar of need. For example, it could make sense to limit these commitments to proven ways of (1) addressing critical health and safety issues or (2) preventing serious deterioration of core state responsibilities.
Recommendation
Recommend Allowing Exemption to Expire. Due to the state’s budget condition, any ongoing fiscal commitments should clear a very high bar of need. Based on the considerations discussed in this post, we doubt that the ZEB exemption clears this bar. We recommend that the Legislature allow the exemption to expire as scheduled under current law.

The 2024-25 Budget: Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) Program
As shown in Figure 4, the maximum combined SSI/SSP monthly grant amount for individuals (the bulk of the SSI/SSP caseload) and couples had been increasing on average by 1.2 percent annually since January 2014—predominantly due to the provision of federal SSI COLAs. In 2022, maximum SSI/SSP grant levels for individuals and couples experienced a more significant increase (an overall increase of 9 percent and 10 percent, respectively) due to the highest in history one-time SSP grant increase (23.95 percent) and a historically high federal SSI COLA (5.9 percent) taking effect on January 1, 2022. Additionally, in 2023, maximum SSI/SSP grant levels for individuals and couples increased again—by about $95 and 9 percent overall for individuals and $162 and 9 percent overall for couples due to a one-time SSP grant increase (10.3 percent) and a higher-than-usual SSI COLA (8.8 percent). In 2024, maximum SSI/SSP grant levels for individuals and couples increased once again—by about $49 and 4.4 percent overall for individuals and $95 and 4.9 percent overall for couples due to a one-time SSP grant increase (9.2 percent) and an SSI COLA (3.2 percent). Despite these most recent grant increases, current maximum SSI/SSP grant levels for individuals remain below the FPL, while grant levels for couples remain above the FPL. Moreover, despite the estimated 2.4 percent federal SSI COLA projected for January 1, 2025, maximum SSI/SSP grant levels for individuals are projected to remain below the FPL in 2024-25.
