Supplemental Changes
Loss of SSI Federal Revenue
The federal government is discontinuing funding for referral and monitoring functions for clients with substance abuse disabilities. (General Fund-Federal)
Referral & Monitoring Agency
Funding is provided to maintain the referral and monitoring functions for those clients reapproved for Social Security Income (SSI) due to a non-substance abuse determination.
Persons Losing SSI/SSDI Benefits
Funds are required for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Treatment and Support Act (ADATSA) caseloads associated with the elimination of SSI/SSDI benefits for persons disabled due to substance abuse.
ADATSA Shelter Increase
Funds are provided for increased caseload in ADATSA Shelter due to elimination of federal SSI/SSDI eligibility for persons disabled due to substance abuse.
ACES Cost Recovery
This item funds additional Automated Client Eligibility System (ACES) costs associated with system operation and additional contractor and state staff required to reduce problem and change request response times. The original projections in the Advanced Planning Document (APD) did not adequately maintain ACES during the conversion period. (General Fund-State, General Fund-Federal)
SSPS Year 2000 Critical Maintenance
Funding is provided for modification of the agency's Social Service Payment System (SSPS)-Phase 1 to ensure correct date functioning through and beyond the Year 2000.
