Section 2GGGGGG. (a) There shall be a Reentry Demonstration Project Reinvestment Trust Fund which shall be a separate, nonbudgeted revenue fund to be administered by the secretary of health and human services. There shall be credited to the fund: (i) an amount equal to any federal financial participation revenues claimed and received by the commonwealth attributed to the delivery of MassHealth services to individuals in certain public institutions including, but not limited to, state prisons, county jails, houses of correction and the department of youth services' facilities, pursuant to an approved demonstration project under section 1115 of the Social Security Act; (ii) appropriations or other money authorized or transferred by the general court and specifically designated to be credited to the fund; and (iii) any interest earned on the amounts in the fund. (b) Money in the fund shall be expended in accordance with an approved demonstration project under section 1115 of the Social Security Act to provide MassHealth services to individuals in certain public institutions including, but not limited to, state prisons, county jails, houses of correction and the department of youth services facilities. The secretary shall, to the maximum extent possible, administer the funds to obtain federal financial participation for the expenditures of nonfederal money from the fund. Amounts credited to the fund shall be expended without further appropriation. Money in the fund at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert to the General Fund and shall be available for expenditure during the following fiscal year. (c) The secretary may incur expenses and the comptroller may certify payment amounts in anticipation of expected receipts; provided, however, that no expenditure made from the fund shall cause the fund to be deficient at the close of a fiscal year. To accommodate timing discrepancies between the receipt of revenue and related expenditures, the comptroller may certify for payment amounts not to exceed the most recent revenue estimates as certified by the secretary to be transferred, credited or deposited under this section.
