s 453. State General Funded Subvention Programs; Audits and Fund
Allocations.

(a) The Department shall perform year-round audits of selected counties to
authenticate each county's reported workload activities.

(b) By November 15 of each year, the Department shall calculate and
publish the current fiscal year statewide annual county subvention
allocations of available state general fund moneys using the audit
findings of the previous fiscal year.

(1) Each county's annual subvention allocation pursuant to Military
and Veterans Code, Section 972, shall not exceed 50 percent of the
county's current fiscal year budgeted expenditures and the
allocation of available funds shall be subdivided into the following
components:

(A) An administration component of $5,000 for each county that has
established a CVSO.

(B) Effective January 1, 1995, a CVSO component of $2,500 for each
county that has appointed a veteran to perform the duties of a CVSO.
This $2,500 is allocated to offset the cost of the appointed CVSOs'
(or designees') attendance at Department sanctioned administrative
training sessions. A proportional percentage reduction of this
allocation, as determined by the Department, shall be taken for each
training session that is not attended. The funds saved through this
reduction shall be distributed as described in Section 453(b)(5).

(C) A performance component for each county that is based on the
authenticated workload activities of each county as verified by the
Department's annual audit. The amount of this component shall be
established by prorating the number of each county's workload
activities against the statewide county total.

(D) Effective January 1, 1995, two or more counties may jointly
establish a single veterans service office. However, any veterans
service office jointly established under this provision shall only
receive funding at the same rate as a single county.

(2) The Department shall disburse the allocated annually available
funds semi-annually, after December 31 and June 30, upon receipt of
each county's Claim for Subvention Funds on which the county
certifies its expenditures. Each payment shall not exceed either 50
percent of the county's expenditure or 50 percent of the annual
allocation, whichever is less.

(3) Each county's annual subvention allocation pursuant to Military
and Veterans Code Section 972.1 shall not exceed the increase of the
current fiscal year budgeted expenditures over the Fiscal Year
1988-89 actual expenditures for CVSO operational costs. The
allocation of available funds is based on the workload activities
allowed by the Department's annual audit and the amount shall be
established by prorating the number of each county's workload
activities against the statewide county total.

(4) The Department shall disburse the allocated annually available
funds semi-annually, after December 31 and June 30, upon receipt of
each county's Claim for Subvention Funds on which the county
certifies its expenditures. The first payment shall not exceed 50
percent of each county's total annual allocation. The second payment
shall be either:

(A) the unpaid balance of the total annual allocation, or

(B) a lesser amount, being the difference between the first payment
and the total amount the current fiscal year expenditure exceeds the
Fiscal Year 1988- 89 expenditure. This payment adjustment shall
occur when a county's actual fiscal year expenditure is less than
originally budgeted, but still exceeds the base Fiscal Year 1988-89
expenditure. If, however, a county's total current fiscal year
expenditure is less than the sum of the Fiscal Year 1988-89 actual
expenditure and the first semi-annual payment, as determined by a
departmental audit of county expenditures or the county's
certification of expenditure, that amount shall be considered an
overpayment and shall be credited as a paid reimbursement to the
county under the annual subvention allocation pursuant to Military
and Veterans Code Section 972.

(5) In the event expenditures of one or more counties are
inadequate for a county to receive the total annual allocation
available under Sections 453(b)(1) and 453(b)(3), the total amount
of undisbursed funds shall be prorated to the remaining eligible
counties as per Section 453(b)(3).
