The funding level appropriated in this item for purposes related to local child support agency administration is intended to align budgeted resources, on a temporary basis, with recent trends in annual expenditures.

Rather than wait until the savings revert to the General Fund, and due to the State’s current fiscal situation, the state budget captures these dollars up front. The State does not intend for the identification of these savings at the outset of the fiscal year, rather than at the end, to have an adverse impact on service delivery at the local level or result in staffing reductions or layoffs.

	Provisions:
	1.	Provisions 1 and 4 of Item 5180-101-0001 also apply to this item.
	2.	Notwithstanding Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 18000) of Part 6 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, a loan not to exceed $1,000,000,000 shall be made available from the General Fund from funds not otherwise appropriated, to cover the federal share or reimbursable share, or both, of costs of a program or programs when the federal funds or reimbursements (from the Health Care Deposit Fund or counties) have not been received by this state prior to the usual time for transmitting payments for the federal or reimbursable share of costs for this state. That loan from the General Fund shall be repaid when the federal share of costs for the program or programs becomes available, or in the case of reimbursements, subject to Section 16351 of the Government Code.
