FY14 Budget and Caseload Update Fiscal CommitteeOctober 2, 2013
FY14 August Caseload Review • Income Eligible: The FY14 Spending Plan has been approved and EEC will begin to implement the process to backfill attrition. The objective is to offer services using vouchers for approximately 3200 children. The allocation to each CCRR has been proportionally distributed by region in relation to the number of children on the waitlist by region. It is expected that each CCRR will manage and seek to fill continuously its allotted vouchers throughout the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2013. CCRRs are required to track and report all placements in each week. The following assumptions have been built into the forecast: • The forecast will continue to include the potential transfer for the projected $2.4M DTA deficiency. • Open access to roughly 900 children in October for the Income Eligible account (3000-4060) and 2300 children for the Waitlist Remediation account (3000-4070). • Backfill attrition related to the 3200 children and the 625 sibling and military vouchers made available in FY2013. • $700,000 from the Waitlist Remediation account will be used for additional administrative costs incurred by the CCRRs. The voucher allotment and distribution of the $700k by CCRR is located on page 9 of presentation.
FY14 August Caseload Review • DTA-Related Caseload: The FY14 Spending Plan was prepared prior to the receipt of actual FY14 spending reports; we projected at the time a deficiency in DTA of $2.4M. Last month we reported that preliminary numbers from July suggested that the deficiency had grown to $4.5M. After two months of actuals the DTA forecasted deficit of $2.4M has realigned with the deficiency projected in the FY14 Spending Plan. The forecast is based on FY13 caseload trends. Throughout the year the forecast may fluctuate. DTA caseload is related to families receiving other TANF funding. • Supportive Caseload: Children receiving services through the Supportive caseload account are facilitated by a direct service contract with providers. With only two months of actuals, EEC continues to forecast to the appropriation. We recently lifted local expansion limits so that more children can be served in areas where there is the capacity and the need. If the increased expansion slots do not meet the service need EEC will look to other avenues to ensure families in need will be served.
