Authorization For Payment of Welfare Warrants
SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)3 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION-
Authorize the County Auditor -Controller to issue July AFDC mid-
month and daily "supplemental" assistance. warrants notwithstanding
the absence of state and federal advances.
FINANCIAL IMPACT-
The AFDC mid-month warrants are estimated to be approximately
$2 ,100, 000. Warrants for Refugee Assistance and Adoption
'Assistance amount to approximately $143 ,000 for the first half of
July.
These estimates include two critical assumptions. - First, it is
assumed that on June 30 , 1992 the state will provide the County
with a. negotiable check to cover the July 1, 1992 AFDC payments.
A June 18 , 1992 letter from the State Department of Social Services
advises us- that 'sufficient funds will be available for this
purpose. _ Second, it is assumed that the federal share will not be
paid separately ,from the state share. If the federal share is paid
separately the above estimates would be reduced by about 500.
BACKGROUND:
The state has not adopted a budget for Fiscal Year 1992-1993 . If
the state fails to provide the necessary funding and the County
fails to advance its funds pending the adoption of a state budget,
the aid payments to .AFDC families will not be made and the families
will be without funds. The benefit of protecting the County' s AFDC
families against interruption of income to support the children
justifies Board action to permit an advance of County funds for the
mid-month July AFDC payments.
