; Section 2: Explanation
;
; The budget amendment reflects the$264,841 decrease in State Subsidy funding.The decrease in funding is a
,
i result of underutilization of services below the 98%rate through February 2015. In order to ensure DSS is
maximizing the use of State Subsidy funds(98%or above),DSS has consulted with the Division of Childcare
i Development and Earlier Education and developed an action plan to ensure that DSS is maximizing the use of
;
t our State Subsidy and Smart Start funding going forward through the reminder of the state fiscal year leading
i
' into the new fiscal year as well
i
t
; There is no impact to the current children receiving services as the reversion was based upon a decrease in
;
; expenditures related to three policy changes,which caused clients to be ineligible.DSS is working the waiting
list to serve an additional 100 children.The additional 100 children will remain on the subsidy program going
3
into next fiscal year provided they still meet the eligibility requirements.
