MILITARY AND VETERANS CODE SECTION 972.5
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to sign the
attached agreement with the California Department of
Veterans Affairs (CDVA) for continuation of Contra Costa
County participation in the Medi-Cal Cost Avoidance Program
for the period July 1, 1989 through June 30 , 1990 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
We anticipate the receipt of $15 , 162 from CDVA as a pro rata
share of federal matching funds for Medi-Cal cost avoidance
activities for the period 7/1/89 through 12/31/89 . Current
interagency contract between CDVA and the California
Department of Health Services (DHS) specifies that "funds
paid to CDVA shall be distributed only to counties which
have Veteran Service Officer budget equal to or in excess of
the counties ' 1986-87 FY funding for the program and paid to
CDVA to pay its actual costs of performance hereunder" (copy
of contract attached) . Contra Costa County has met the
funding requirement. Subsequently, Senate Bill 1133 has
eliminated the budget funding requirement effective January 1,.
1990 .
BACKGROUND:
The CDVA and the DHS have entered into an agreement based
upon Senate Bill 1807 for the distribution of federal
matching funds to be distributed to County Veterans Service
Offices (CVSO) participating in the Medi-Cal cost avoidance
program.
Participation is based upon the strict adherence to the
provision that "the federal matching funds received by the
county for the CVSO Medi-Cal cost avoidance activities shall
be credited to the CVSO program and may be used only for the
activities of that office . Use of the funds for any other
purpose or county service shall render the county ineligible
to participate in the program. " (Attached Interagency
Agreement, page 3 , 7 .B. )
