Joint Budget Committee reviews extension and administrative funding for WIC program

JBC staff reported that prior interim supplemental approval (7.5M) for WIC can be extended into November and that the department proposes reallocating up to $2,000,000 of the approved over-expenditure to fund local WIC agencies' service delivery; committee members raised questions about the administration share but raised no objections to the change.

The full story

Kelly Shen, Joint Budget Committee staff, told members the department's October submission for WIC is not seeking additional over-expenditure authority but requests two transparency changes: extend the timing of use into November and allow up to $2,000,000 of the previously approved $7.5 million over-expenditure to fund local agencies' administration and service delivery.
