Child Support: Midyear Funding Reallocation for Fiscal Year 2018-19 for the Child Support Commissioner and Family Law Facilitator Programs (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council approve the reallocation of funding for the Child Support Commissioner and Family Law Facilitator Programs for the remainder of fiscal year (FY) 2018-19. The funds are provided through a cooperative agreement between the California Department of Child Support Services and the Judicial Council. At midyear, under an established procedure described in the standard agreement with each superior court, the Judicial Council redistributes to courts -- with a documented need for additional funds -- any available funds from courts that are projected not to spend their full grants that year. The courts are also offered an option to use local court funds up to an approved amount to draw down, or qualify for, federal matching funds.
