1. FY13 Budget and Caseload Update Fiscal Committee February 4, 2013

2. FY13 Caseload Overview
Income Eligible: The Income Eligible account full year forecast is projecting a surplus of $13.1M which is approximately $400K more than last month’s projected surplus of $12.7M. Effective January 30, 2013 Contract Providers and Family Child Care Systems with 5% or less vacancies in relation to total awarded slots received a 5.714% increase in slots. The contracts and systems have been instructed to allocate 385 slots to the programs with a self-assessed QRIS level 2 or above. Slots are limited to Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers. School Age is excluded. The estimated cost is $1.28M. This estimate is subject to change once the region and age groups have been distributed. Subsequent attrition will be reviewed each month and may result in additional contract slots. The forecast includes Summer Only care for 779 children for June 2013.
DTA-Related Caseload: The forecasted deficit has decreased to $5.8M, a decrease of $150K. The December caseload forecast projected the following for November to December:
a 1.7% increase for School Age children; we are reporting a .7% decrease, a variance of 2.4%.
a 7% decrease for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers combined; we are reporting a 11% decrease for Toddlers, a variance of 4%.
Supportive: The projected surplus of $2.8M decreased to a surplus of $2.5M. Total children served in December was 1% greater than forecasted resulting in the forecast increase in spending of approximately $235k.
Summary: After accounting for the additional 385 contract slots ($1.28M), reducing the current surplus by the forecasted DTA deficit ($5.8M), and adding the anticipated DCF surplus, the overall surplus in the caseload accounts is approximately $9.8M.
