Division of Veterans’ Affairs
The Enacted Budget passed by the Legislature on May 1, 2003 made no changes to the Executive Budget.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 7, 2003):
· A year end workforce of 113 FTEs. The adjusted FTE workforce for 3/31/03 is 4 FTEs lower than the 3/31/03 FTE workforce that was estimated in the SFY 2002-03 Executive Budget. An additional reduction of 7 FTEs will occur in SFY 2003-04, 2 in the Administration Program and 5 in the Veterans Counseling Services Program.
· Personal services reductions of $133,000 in the Administration Program and $287,000 in the Veteran Counseling Services Program, which reflect personnel reductions.
· According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, General Fund savings are partially achieved by transfer of certain administrative functions of the Blind Veteran Annuity Assistance Program (a local assistance program) and the Veterans Education’s Program to the Office of General Services. It is unclear if this transfer is proposed or has already been accomplished. This issue should be clarified at a Statewide Labor/Management meeting.
