Division of Veterans’ Affairs

 

The enacted budget (May 16, 2002) makes no changes to the Executive Budget.

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 1, 2002):

 

·        A workforce of 124 FTEs, a decrease of 4 FTEs from last year.  All FTE reductions are in the Veterans Counseling program.

·        Level personal and non-personal services funding for the Administration and Veteran Counseling Services programs.  The contractual increases for these programs were funded by the elimination of 4 FTEs which were apparently vacant positions.

·        $500,000 in additional Special Revenue Federal appropriation authority for new Federal grants in the Veterans Counseling Services program that the Division has committed to seek out.

·        $292,000 in additional Special Revenue Federal appropriation authority for the Veteran Education program to reflect “the level of anticipated federal support for this program.”  It is unclear how this additional funding will be used since the number of FTEs in the program remains at 13 and contractual increases should only amount to about 3.5%.
