2008 House Bill 5814 ↩

House Roll Call 305: Passed

The House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 Department of Social Services (Welfare) budget. This would appropriate $4.619 billion in gross spending, compared to $4.589 billion, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. Of this, $1.330 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2007-2008 amount of $1.312 billion. $3.168 billion of this budget is federal money. The House version spends less that the executive recommendation primarily because it assumes a smaller welfare caseload.
