Sec. 2-369. - Fiscal provisions.

(a)

In adopting this article, the board of supervisors recognizes that the funding of IHSS is the product of a complex relationship of federal, state and county financing and that the ability of the authority to operate and to negotiate the wages and benefits of the IHSS providers is contingent upon the availability of adequate funding from all sources. Nothing in this article is intended to require the county to appropriate any funds for the operation of the authority or for the payment of wages or benefits to IHSS providers.

(b)

The authority shall provide the county with the expenditure information necessary for the county to report to the California Department of Social Services in order to receive reimbursement for the state and federal share of the authority costs.

(c)

The authority shall assist the county in developing and submitting the information and documentation necessary to obtain approval from the California Department of Social Services and the department of health services for the authority's reimbursement rate and any rate adjustment.

(d)

Payment for all services provided pursuant to this article is contingent upon the appropriation of county, state and federal funds for the purpose of providing IHSS.
