Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 30, 2004):
• An FTE level of 2,347 which represents a decrease of (-19) FTE from the adjusted SFY 2003-04 level, most of this decrease is in the Systems Support and Information Services program . The adjusted 2003-04 level is 18 FTEs fewer than estimated in the SFY2003-04 Executive Budget; (-10) in the Administration program and (-8) in the Disability Determinations program.
• An overall increase of State Operations funding of $4.4 million (1.0 percent). This includes an increase of $5.7 million (12.3 percent) in General Fund support, and a decrease of $1.6 million (-0.7 percent) in Special Revenue – Federal.
• An increase of $1.9 million (4.0 percent) in the Administration program, with the largest portion of increase, $1.4 million (20.7 percent), going to non-personal service. The increase in the non-personal service appropriation reflects a $2.279 million increase in contractual services offset by a $940,000 decrease in equipment. This large increase for contractual services should be explained by OTDA management.
• A $2 million decrease in the personal service appropriation for the Disability Determination program which probably reflects the (-8) FTE reduction that occurred in SFY2003-04
• An increase of $705,000 (8.1 percent) in personal services, Legal Affairs which reflects the 2 FTE increase in that program.
• A net increase of $3.379 million in the Systems Support and Informational Services Program, including a reduction of $2.1 million (-25 percent) in personal services offset by an increase of $5.3 million (+8.8 percent) in maintenance undistributed (ongoing cost of redesigning the Welfare Management System (WMS), continued development of the Welfare to Work Caseload Management System, and other initiatives including the Human Services Enterprise Network). The personal service decrease reflects the 23 FTE decrease proposed for this program. OTDA management should explain whether the FTE reduction in this program will result in greater contracting out under the increased maintenance undistributed appropriation.
• A decrease of -$518,000 (15.9 percent) in personal service, Temporary & Disability Assistance Program which reflects a 3 FTE reduction proposed for this program.
• An increase of $334,000 (29.9 percent) in personal service, Transitional Support and Policy Program which reflects a proposed 7 FTE increase in this program
• Three Article VII bills that would accomplish the following:
§ Authorize the entire welfare grant to be withheld if the head of the household does not fulfill his/her employment obligation.
§ Reduce the non-shelter component of the public assistance grant by 10 percent, for families on welfare assistance for more than 5 years and for single adults and childless couples on welfare for more than one year. The total General Fund savings associated with this proposal is $16.2 million in SFY 2004-05 and $31.1 million when fully annualized, according to the Yellow Book.
§ Step-down the amount of earnings an individual may retain while receiving public assistance based upon the length of time an individual has been on welfare. The total General Fund savings associated with this proposal is $16.9 million in SFY 2004-05 and $33.7 million when fully annualized, according to an Assembly analysis.
