(1) (am) The department shall reimburse each county
from the appropriations under s. 20.435 (7) (b) and (o) for social
services as approved by the department under ss. 46.215 (1), (2)
(c) 1., and (3) and 46.22 (1) (b) 1. d. and (e) 3. a. except that no reimbursement may be made for the administration of or aid
granted under s. 49.02, 2009 stats.
(d) From the appropriations under s. 20.435 (7) (b) and (o),
the department shall distribute the funding for social services to
county departments under ss. 46.215, 46.22, and 46.23 as provided under s. 46.40. County matching funds are required for the
distributions under s. 46.40 (2), (8), and (9) (b). Each county’s
required match for the distribution under s. 46.40 (2) shall be
specified in a schedule established annually by the department.
Each county’s required match for the distribution under s. 46.40
(8) for a year equals 9.89 percent of the total of the county’s distributions under s. 46.40 (8) for that year for which matching
funds are required plus the amount the county was required by s.
46.26 (2) (c) , 1985 stats., to spend for juvenile delinquency-related services from its distribution for 1987. Each county’s required match for the distribution under s. 46.40 (9) (b) for a year
equals 9.89 percent of that county’s amounts described in s.
46.40 (9) (ar) (intro.) for that year. Matching funds may be from
county tax levies, federal and state revenue sharing funds, or private donations to the county that meet the requirements specified
in s. 51.423 (5). Private donations may not exceed 25 percent of
the total county match. If the county match is less than the
amount required to generate the full amount of state and federal
funds distributed for this period, the decrease in the amount of
state and federal funds equals the difference between the required
and the actual amount of county matching funds.
(dc) The department shall prorate the amount allocated to any
county department under s. 46.215 or 46.22 under par. (d) to reflect actual federal funds available.
(f) 1. If any state matching funds allocated under par. (d) to
match county funds are not claimed, the funds shall be redistributed for the purposes the department designates.
2. The county allocation to match aid increases shall be included in the contract under s. 46.031 (2g) and approved by January 1 of the year for which funds are allocated, in order to generate state aid matching funds. All funds allocated under par. (d)
shall be included in the contract under s. 46.031 (2g) and
approved.
(2) (a) The county treasurer and each director of a county department under s. 46.215, 46.22 or 46.23 shall monthly certify
under oath to the department in such manner as the department
prescribes the claim of the county for state reimbursement under
this section and if the department approves such claim it shall certify to the department of administration for reimbursement to the
county for amounts due under this subsection and payment
claimed to be made to the counties monthly. The department
may make advance payments prior to the beginning of each
month equal to one-twelfth of the contracted amount.
(b) To facilitate prompt reimbursement the certificate of the
department may be based on the certified statements of the
county officers filed under par. (a). Funds recovered from audit
adjustments from a prior fiscal year may be included in subsequent certifications only to pay counties owed funds as a result of
any audit adjustment. By September 30 of each year the department shall submit a report to the appropriate standing committees
under s. 13.172 (3) on funds recovered and paid out during the
previous calendar year as a result of audit adjustments.
