California’s Cash Flow Crisis: May 2009 Update

May 7, 2009 - In part because state revenue collections have been weaker than expected since passage of the February budget package, major cash flow difficulties loom for California in the summer and fall of 2009. Without significant budget-balancing and cash management actions by the Legislature or unprecedented borrowing from the short-term credit markets, the state will not be able to pay many of its bills on time for much of 2009-10. Returning the budget to balance will be important to resolving the state's cash flow challenges. We recommend that the Legislature act quickly to address these challenges—by late June or early July at the latest. We also note that the state should be cautious about accepting additional federal assistance for the state's cash flow problems, especially given the strings that may be attached to such aid. (Five-minute video summary)

Family Cost Participation Program Expansion

April 27, 2009 - Assembly Member De La Torre requested our assistance in determining the savings that could be achieved by expanding the Family Cost Participation Program (FCPP) to all services purchased by Regional Centers (RC) for consumers. We estimate that this expansion (excluding RC operations and 24-hour care) when fully implemented after about three years could yield ongoing, net annual General Fund savings ranging between about $11 million and $19 million depending on the number of participating consumers.
