  1. MHSA Coordinator Meetings May 2011 Mike Geiss

  2. Fiscal Update • AB 100 • Key Fiscal Changes • Myths and Realities • Unknowns • State Budget May Revise • Fiscal Planning Discussion • Component Funding Estimates • Recommendations for FY11/12

  3. AB 100 Key Fiscal Changes • Suspended the non-supplant requirement for FY11/12 due to the State’s fiscal crisis, allowing the MHS fund, rather than State General Fund, to pay for non-MHSA funded programs ($861 million) • Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Managed Care • EPSDT • Education-Related Mental Health Services (AB3632) • Changed the way in which revenues are made available • Funds are distributed as deposits are made into the MHS Fund • Two years of funding available in FY11/12

  4. AB 100 Myths and Realities • Myth • Counties will have to use their own local MHSA funding to pay for their costs of EPSDT, Managed Care and AB3632 in FY11/12 • Reality • By making two years of funding available in FY11/12, absent any other changes to the MHS Fund, there will be sufficient revenues in MHS Fund to cover $861 million one-time redirection

  5. AB 100 Myths and Realities • Myth • Counties will receive ten percent less MHSA Component Funding in FY11/12 than what was published in the FY 11/12 Component Allocations • Reality • Component Allocations are now estimates and won’t be known until actual deposits are made

  6. AB 100 Myths and Realities • Myth • Counties no longer have to prepare plans and updates or go through stakeholder process to access funds • Reality • AB 100 made minimal changes • AB 100 eliminated State DMH and the MHSOAC from reviewing and approving county plans and expenditures but did not eliminate stakeholder process

  7. AB 100 Unknowns • County discretion over 50 percent of MHSA funding available on 8/1/11 • County doesn’t submit plan or update for all estimated FY11/12 component funding • Treatment of FY11/12 MHSA funding used for redirection • Treatment of prior year unapproved Component Allocations • Approved Plan or Update • Actual revenues exceed estimated component funding

  8. State Budget May Revise • Estimated Revenues • Estimated MHSA Component Funding

  9. Component Funding Estimates • Counties need to monitor MHSA revenues • Department of Finance monthly Finance Bulletins • http://www.dof.ca.gov/finance_bulletins/ • Counties need to be able to adjust programs based on constantly changing resources • Use three year reversion as ability to roll over funds • Cash flow will vary • On average, 40% of MHSA cash deposits are in last quarter • Annual Adjustment deposited on July 1 will continue to be significant determinant

  10. Recommendations for FY11/12 • Requests for funding • Use of three year reversion and local Prudent Reserve • Innovation reversion • Continued planning
