Division of Veterans’ Affairs
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 23, 2006):
- A FTE level of 112 positions – a decrease of 1 FTE from the adjusted 3/31/06 FTE level. An overall All Funds appropriation of $8.53 million, a $43,000 (0.5 percent) increase from the enacted SFY 2005-06 appropriation.
- A decrease of $47,000 in Personal Service funding in the Administration program. The Assembly’s 2006 Yellow Book, indicates that the decrease is a reflection of the transfer of 1 FTE funded position to the Office of General Services (OGS) for “hosted services.”
- An increase of $60,000 (1 percent) in Veteran Counseling Services. This increase is a net of the following: an increase of $110,000 (28.9 percent) in Nonpersonal Service funding and elimination of the $50,000 added by the Legislature in 2005-06 for additional training funds.
- An increase of $25,000 (1.4 percent) in the Veteran Education Program, reflecting an increase in the Federal Operating Grants, which includes an increase of $25,000 or 14.1 percent in Nonpersonal Service funding.
