Department of Human Services (DHS)August Board Meeting Attached for your review and approval are our FY12 Amended & FY13 budget proposals, presented as follows: Topic / ContentSlidesDHS Budget Reductions: Calculation of Required Reduction Amounts 5 Budget Reduction Plan: Specific Activity Reductions for FY12A 6 - 30 Budget Reduction Plan: Specific Activity Reductions for FY13 32 - 56 Reduction Summary: 2% Reductions by Program 31 & 57

  3. OPB Guidance for FY 2012 Amended & FY 2013 Budget • The Governor’s Office of Planning & Budget (OPB) has issued the following directive for all State Agencies: • Submit a Budget Request Proposal to reduce state funds by 2% of the FY 2012 Appropriation for the FY 2012 Amended and FY 13 budget. The 2% directive exempts Medicaid recipients. • The Governor’s Office of Planning & Budget (OPB) has issued the following directive for DHS: • Submit Budget Request Proposals for new State Funding for Workload Adjustments that result from changes in the FMAP Rate and increases in EBT processing cost resulting from growth in SNAP clients.

  4. Department of Human Services Response • Over the last 3 budget cycles we have reduce our programs to the must-do work. We have removed discretionary services or what we have called nice-to do and many should-do activities. • We have focused on protecting the Maintenance of Effort (MOE) for TANF, Older Americans Act and Child Support to avoid significant losses of federal funds that support the citizens of Georgia. • Any additional cuts were again weighed on impacts to clients and protecting MOE. However, with little flexibility left any additional reductions will impact services provided. • We continue to monitor operations to reduce or control cost where possible which include personnel cost, contracts, operating cost and travel. • Additional actions will be described in the 2% budget reduction section.

  6. DHS: 2% Reduction by Program FY2012 Current Budget (State Funds) $34,059,119 Proposed Reductions (0) FY2012 Budget After Proposed Reductions $34,059,119 State funds primarily tied to ongoing adoption assistance. Once committed adoptions assistance is legally binding until child turns 18 and cannot be eliminated or reduced. Any reductions would limit ability to do new state funded adoptions. It is not feasible to run adoptions program for only IV-E eligible children. Reductions in Adoption Services would likely increase cost in Out of Home Care at a higher total cost to the state. No reduction recommended to this program. Highlights of the FY2012 Amended Budget Reductions Adoption Services 6
