Office of Temporary Disability Assistance

 

The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of March 29, 2012).

·        Rejects the broad Executive Budget proposal to allow the Executive to have unlimited transfer and interchange authorization over all State Operations appropriations. Instead it creates specific transfer and interchange authorities for State Operation appropriations; for this agency they include: OGS/Back Office, Call Center and Information Technology.  This authorization allows the Executive to move appropriations between state agencies for these purposes. For additional detail please see page 5 of the Summary of the SFY 2012-13 Enacted Budget memo.

The Assembly made the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of March 12, 2012)

·        The Assembly rejects the Executive proposal that would transfer six full-time equivalent (FTE) positions from OTDA to the Department of State for the creation of a new office of New Americans. The Assembly provides $442,000 for the Office of New Americans within OTDA.

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 20, 2012):

A SFY 2012-13 workforce of 2,266., up 41 FTEs from SFY 2011-12.  However the adjusted FTE level for 2011-12 is a decrease of -23 FTEs from the level projected in last year’s budget. 

According to the Executive Budget, increase of 41 FTEs reflects the transfer of six staff members, who work on immigrant issues within the Specialized Services program, to the Department of State and the addition of 47 FTEs involved in the takeover of the SSI administration. It appears that this additional staff for SSI is spilt between the Employment and Economic Support and the Information technology programs. This issue should be clarified at statewide labor management

The following chart identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2011-12 FTEs by program:

·  The Executive Budget recommends a takeover of the administration of the State Supplemental Security Income (SSI) supplementation program, which is now administered by the Federal Social Security Administration at “significant cost” to the State. “Through investment in new IT systems and staff,” the Budget says, “the State can provide the same service that the Federal government currently provides at $10.94 per benefit issuance for under $2 per benefit issuance, saving over $90 million annually after full implementation.

 

·  An All Funds appropriation of $469.18 million, a decrease of -$3.11 million from the SFY 2011-12 enacted All Funds appropriation , (-0.7%).

 

·  The total appropriation for Personal Service is $175.5 million, a decrease of -$3.33 million      (-1.9%) from the SFY 2011-12 enacted budget appropriation.  The total appropriation for Contractual Services is $123.2 million, a decrease of $898,000 (-0.7%) from the enacted budget appropriation.

 

·  The Department employed an estimated 199 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2011-12 at a cost of $32.53 million, or $163,461 per FTE.  It is estimated that 198 consultants will be employed in SFY 2012-13 at an estimated cost of $23.67 million, or $119,536 per FTE.  This is -$8.86 million (-27%) less than SFY 2011-12.  The expenditures may include more than personal service costs and is inconsistent with Office of State Comptroller data on consultant spending so it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions as to the actual cost per consultant.
