It is assumed that beginning September 1, 2009 child support expenses will be excluded from the calculation of income resulting in an additional 499 average monthly recipient months in fiscal year 2010; 732 in fiscal year 2011; 747 in fiscal year 2012; 761 in fiscal year 2013; and 775 in fiscal year 2014. The average cost per recipient month is estimated to be $129.69 in each fiscal year. The additional cost to the program from higher caseloads would be $0.8 million All Funds, including $0.2 million in General Revenue Funds, in fiscal year 2010 increasing to $1.2 million All Funds, including $0.4 million in General Revenue Funds in fiscal year 2014.
There would also be additional administrative expenditures associated with the expanded program estimated to be $1.8 million All Funds, including $0.5 million in General Revenue Funds, in fiscal year 2010 and approximately $60,000 to $70,000 All Funds in fiscal year 2011 and subsequent years. These amounts include one-time costs for system changes and policy implementation and ongoing costs for eligibility and enrollment broker services and postage.
The total cost of the bill is estimated to be $2.6 million All Funds, including $0.8 million in General Revenue Funds, in fiscal year 2010 and $1.2 to $1.3 million All Funds, including $0.4 million in General Revenue Funds, in fiscal year 2011 and beyond. It is assumed that CHIP federal matching funds will be available; however, if the state exhausts its capped federal allotment, General Revenue Funds would be required in lieu of assumed Federal Funds.
Technology costs included above total $1.0 million All Funds, including $0.3 million in General Revenue Funds, in fiscal year 2010 for one-time costs associated with system changes.
