Agency: Veterans' and Military Affairs

Line Item: Veterans' Nursing Home Fund

Function

The Utah Veterans' Nursing Home Fund (Fund 2380) is administered by the Department for the benefit of the four Utah veterans' nursing homes and their residents.

The vast majority of revenues into this fund come from Veterans' Administration per diem reimbursement for the residents of the nursing homes. The VA pays nearly one half the cost of care for residents, and in certain cases of service connected disabilities, the VA will pay 100%. These revenues are passed through this fund directly to each nursing home.

This fund also hold private donations for each nursing home. Donations are tracked to insure they go to the intended nursing home.

Statutory Authority

The Utah Veterans' Nursing Home Fund is an expendable special revenue fund and is created in UCA 71-11-8.

Issues/Analysis

This is an expendible special revenue fund and as such, is not subject to appropriation. However, it has been brought on-budget to improve transparency and to better account for overall state spending. Revenues to this fund are almost exclusively federal per-diem rates and prescription payments for the four veterans' nursing homes. Donations to the nursing homes are also now held in this account.

Of the federal per-diem revenue collected, 90% is pass-through to the nursing home contractors. The remaining 10% is kept in the fund and is used for operations and maintenance costs. The department has reviewed these revenues and has determined that the amount collected is enough to pay for the four nursing home administrators who have, until recently, been funded through a General Fund appropriation.

The anticipated FY 2014 closing balance for this fund is $3.5 million and the anticipated federal revenue for FY 2015 is approximately $16 million. The analyst recommends these updated figures be reflected in Senate Bill 7 Substitute 1.
