FY14 Budget and Caseload Update Fiscal CommitteeDecember 2, 2013
FY14 October Caseload Review • Waitlist Remediation Initiative Status: The CCRRs began placing children in the Waitlist remediation account in October. The CCRRs have until December 20, 2013 to place all the vouchers allocated to them. • As of last week, eight weeks into the twelve week initiative, when the benchmark was 67%, the CCRRs have successfully placed 98.6% of the total allocation and are at or near their respective allotments. • Approximately 47% (1,106) of the 2,367 placements in the Waitlist Remediation account were billed for service month October 2013. Program setting and age group mix may allow for future allotments (557). • Income Eligible: Based on the following assumptions, we continue to project utilizing nearly the entire 3000-4060 and 3000-4070 appropriations: • After October billing there is a $906K IE surplus. This is offset by a $902K deficit in DTA. • All the CCRRs have started filling the additional attrition backfill allotment in the Income Eligible 3000-4060 account. They are at 50%. Voucher Caseload in October decreased minimally by 153 of which 140 are school age children. • Income Eligible, Teen, and Homeless contract forecasted expenditures are held at the contract maximum obligation. Underutilization was used to fund the Income Eligible flex pool. One provider closed and vouchers were provided to the children in care. The provider had Income Eligible, Teen, Homeless, and Supportive Contracts. Once the contract is closed and the shift in cost to vouchers is realized, we will make additional forecast adjustments.
FY14 OctoberCaseload Review • DTA-Related Caseload: After four months of actual numbers, EEC is forecasting a deficit of $901K, a decrease from the previous month’s projected deficiency of $2.3M. October actual caseload billing reflects a net increase (8) in caseload when compared to September. School Age caseload dropped by 168, but was offset by an increase in Infants (15), Toddlers(107), and Pre-School (54). This translates to a $1.4M reduction to the forecast. The caseload remained flat when compared to September, resulting in a decrease in the projected deficit. • Supportive Caseload: With four months of actual numbers, EEC continues to forecast expenditures to the appropriation of $77M. Access to expansion slots continues continue to allow for more children to be served in areas where there is the capacity and the need. Caseload had a net decrease of 169, of which School Age decrease by 241. Infants increased (32), Toddlers increased (50) and Preschool decreased (10). • FY14 Consolidated Net Increase: EEC is soon to receive $11.5M as part of the Consolidated Net Surplus (CNS) to dedicate to an across the board rate increase for all center based, family child care providers, and family child care systems. This is roughly a raise of $.78 on the daily rate. The rate increase will be retroactive to July 1, 2013.
