The Human Services Client Trust Fund is used to account for assets held in a fiduciary relationship for elderly, disabled, and child clients served by the Department of Human Services.
UCA 62A-1-111 authorizes the establishment and management of client trust accounts for institution and community programs if requested by the client or legal representative. The State Money Management Act requires a semi-annual report providing certain detailed information for individual accounts. Limitations on these accounts are prescribed by the Code of Federal Regulations.
The balance of the fund consists mostly of investments. A small amount of revenue also comes from interest earned on the account. The largest amounts of money flowing into the account are deposited assets of elderly, disabled, and child clients. Expenses are for items on behalf of these same clients.
