  19. FFY15 Funding & Approach • FFY15 Outlook • Can’t predict the funding, timing of the funding, the weather, the economy, demand or fuel prices • What we can predict • Fight over funding • We probably will get less than FFY14 • We probably will not get funds 10/1 • We probably will not know the total FFY15 until we are well into FFY15

  20. FFY15 Funding & Approach • The Old Farmer’s Almanac Outlook for 2013-2014 • Winter • Cold and snowy • Summer • Hot and dry • Half right

  21. FFY15 Funding & Approach • FFY15 Outlook • Limited options are available to address less money: • Serve less people • Serve people less • Combination of both. • Less funding increases the pressure to ensure accurate benefits are going to eligible households

  22. FFY15 Funding & Approach • FFY15 Outlook • Best Guess • Somewhere between $104 million and $124 million? • FFY14 was $114.5 million • Starts and stops • There will be unknowns • Adverse effects of inflation as benefits remain constant • Less carryover
