Policy Changes
Medicaid Administrative Match
The Caseload Forecast Council is adjusting forecast portfolios to dedicate one individual to Medicaid-related forecasts. This change will allow the agency to access Medicaid Administrative Match (MAM) funds for the work of that Medicaid forecast analyst. Funding is adjusted to decrease General Fund-State and increase General Fund-Federal expenditures to align with this change. (General Fund - Cash, General Fund - Local CRC Oregon, General Fund - Medicaid Federal, other funds)
Pension Adjustments, nonrate
This funds the potential impact of Department of Retirement Systems request legislation on pension service credit and benefit calculation. It will prevent budget reductions such as temporary layoffs from negatively affecting employee retirement benefits. (General Fund - State)
State Employee Benefits
Health insurance funding is provided for state employees who are not represented by a union, who are covered by a bargaining agreement that is not subject to financial feasibility determination, or who are not part of the coalition of unions for health benefits. The insurance funding rate is $988 per employee per month for fiscal year 2022 and $1,018 per employee per month for fiscal year 2023. (General Fund - State)
Temporary Layoffs and Other Savings
This item reflects savings achieved from temporary layoffs or similar actions. (Workforce Education Investment Acc - State, General Fund - State)
Non-Rep General Wage Increase
This reflects savings from the cancellation of the July 1, 2020 general wage increase for some non-represented, non-classified employees. (General Fund - State)
Audit Services
Adjustments are made for each agency’s anticipated cost of audits performed by the State Auditor’s Office. (General Fund - State)
CTS Central Services
Adjustments are made to reflect each agency’s anticipated share of charges for Microsoft 365 G5 licenses contracted for state agencies by the Consolidated Technology Services agency. This contract allows the state to achieve economies of scale and administrative efficiencies in the management of licenses. (General Fund - State)
DES Central Services
Adjustments are made to reflect each agency’s anticipated share of charges from the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) for campus rent, utilities, parking, and contracts; capital project surcharges; financing cost recovery; public and historic facilities; real estate services; risk management services; personnel service rates; the Perry Street child care center; small agency services; and the department’s enterprise applications. (General Fund - State)
OFM Central Services
Adjustments are made to reflect each agency’s anticipated share of charges for existing statewide financial applications, One Washington, and other central services provided by the Office of Financial Management. (General Fund - State)
Self-Insurance Liability Premium
Adjustments are made to reflect each agency's share of actuarily projected costs of the Self-Insurance Liability Account. This includes adjustments to existing funding levels as well as enhancements for anticipated liabilities in the 2021-23 biennium. (General Fund - State)
