Reallocation of Dedicated Credits$54,700$54,700

OngoingOne-TimeFinancing Source

$54,700$54,700Dedicated Credits Revenue

Transfer $54,700 for FY 2015 and FY 2016 as a technical reallocation between line items in the Department of Workforce Services for dedicated credit funds. The transfer is from the Eligibility Services program in the Operations and Policy line item to Administration Line item as follows: 1) $7,700 to the Executive Director's Office, 2) $2,900 to the Communications Unit, 3) $10,900 to the Human Resources Unit, 4) $31,300 to the Administrative Support, and 5) $1,900 to the Internal Audit Unit for a transfer total of $54,700. Explanation: The Department of Workforce Services "uses an approved cost allocation plan to allocate indirect costs to the programs benefited by the costs. Some of the indirect costs in the Administration line item are allocated to programs funded at least in part with dedicated credits from revenue contracts. However, there is not enough dedicated credit authority in the Administration line item to pay for all of the indirect costs allocated to these revenue contract programs. This request would transfer funds to where indirect costs are allocated to programs funded by the dedicated credits. This will not change operations or programs. The transfer will allow the department to use the appropriate funding for these allocated costs."

If the same measures are not included, a detailed explanation as to why should be included.

(1) Is the program considered a statewide program (this would include something that serves all rural areas)? a. Is the implementation of the program really statewide? If not, is there a compelling reason why? (2) Who gets the money (by county)? (3) What is the methodology for distributing the money? a. How does the distribution compare to actual need as expressed by population? i. [If distributions are not reflecting current need (as represented by population), please explain why not?] b.
