s 454. Federal Funded Cost Avoidance Programs; Audit and Fund
Allocation.

(a) The Department may annually negotiate a fiscal year interagency
agreement with the Departments of Health Services (DHS) and Social
Services (DSS), pursuant to Military and Veterans Code Section 972.5, to
obtain sufficient federal funds to reimburse participating counties a
portion of their costs of performing cost avoidance activities as
identified in the agreement. The interagency agreement shall also contain
provisions for paying a portion of the Department's administrative costs
of managing the program.

(b) By March 15 of each year, the Department shall make a midyear advance
of a percentage of the available funds, as determined by the Department,
to participating counties calculated by prorating the number of each
county's reported first six months fiscal year's reported cost avoidance
workload activities against the statewide total.

(c) The Department shall audit each county as defined in Section 453(a).

(d) By November 15 of each year, the Department shall calculate the cost
avoidance allocation of federal funds for the full term of the agreement
based on the authenticated workload activities verified by the
Department's audit. The total amount of federal funds available under
contract, after reduction for reimbursement of the Department's
administrative costs, will be allocated to all participating counties by
prorating each county's audited cost avoidance workload against the
statewide total.

(e) Each county's annual cost avoidance allocation shall not exceed the
difference between the total fiscal year CVSO expenditure and the total of
the subvention payments made pursuant to Section 453.

(f) The Department shall disburse the allocated funds by January 31 of
each year. Each participating county's payment shall be the difference
between the midyear advance and the annual cost avoidance allocation.

(g) In the event an individual county's annual cost avoidance allocation
is less than the midyear advance, the county shall repay any overpayment
to the Department within 30 days of written notice to the Board of
Supervisors.
