HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01102012 - C.144RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller or designee, on behalf of the
Department of Child Support Services to issue payment in an amount not to exceed
$81,686, to the California State Department of Child Support Services for child support
trust fund closeout audit findings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This amount represents the unreconciled balance of Contra Costa County's legacy child
support collections trust fund. Reversion of these funds back to the California State
Department of Child Support Services will not impact the Contra Costa County's current
operational budget. There is no zero impact to the County General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Prior to March 2006, all Contra Costa County child support collections were received,
recorded and distributed directly at the local level. Beginning March 2006, all Contra Costa
County child support collections were to be processed and distributed by the State
Disbursement Unit (SDU). A close out reconciliation of the child support collections trust
funds were required
