Summary
Judicial Council staff submitted to the Legislature Report on Allocation of Funding in 2024-25 for Federally Funded Dependency Representation Program Shortfall, in accordance with the requirement in the Budget Act of 2024. This shortfall was first addressed in the Budget Act of 2021 to reimburse courts and court-appointed dependency counsel for any gap between the federal reimbursement maximum and what the state is able to recover in federal reimbursement funds. In fiscal year 2023-24, approximately 69 percent of participant billings met the criteria for federal reimbursement. This percentage has been relatively consistent over the last three years.
