The department of administration shall deposit these monies in the state general fund.

The operating lump sum appropriation may be expended on Arizona health care cost containment system eligibility determinations based on the results of the Arizona random moment sampling survey.
Child support enforcement

Before transferring federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant monies to the social services block grant, the department shall report the proposed amount of the transfer to the director of the joint legislative budget committee. This report may be in the form of an expenditure plan that is submitted at the beginning of the fiscal year and updated, if necessary, throughout the fiscal year.
The department of economic security shall provide training to any new child protective services FTE positions before assigning to any of these employees any client caseload duties.
It is the intent of the legislature that the department of economic security use the funding in the division of child safety and family services to achieve a one hundred per cent investigation rate.
Before the expenditure of monies from the intensive family services line item in fiscal year 2014-2015, the department of economic security shall submit an expenditure plan for review by the joint legislative budget committee. The expenditure plan must include an estimate of any comparable funding in the in-home preventive support services line item.

The legislature recognizes that legislation is being developed for a successor agency for child protective services that is separate from the department of economic security. Since that task is not complete, this budget has been adopted without knowing the scope, department needs and funding requirements for the successor agency that are necessary to protect the safety of the children in this state. It is the intent of the legislature to reexamine the budget in conjunction with the legislation that will create a successor agency, in order to meet the needs of that successor agency. The needs include staffing, automation, support services, placement, early intervention services and any needs deemed essential for the successor agency services and the safety of children in this state.

The department shall also report if no new placements were made. The department shall make this report available on or before July 15, 2015.
All monies in the long-term care system fund unexpended and unencumbered at the end of fiscal year 2014-2015 revert to the state general fund, subject to approval by the Arizona health care cost containment system administration.

The department shall report to the joint legislative budget committee on or before March 1 of each year on preliminary actuarial estimates of the capitation rate changes for the following fiscal year along with the reasons for the estimated changes. For any actuarial estimates that include a range, the total range from minimum to maximum may not be more than two per cent. Before implementation of any changes in capitation rates for the long-term care program, the department shall report for review the expenditure plan to the joint legislative budget committee. Before the department implements any changes in policy affecting the amount, sufficiency, duration and scope of health care services and who may provide services, the department shall prepare a fiscal impact analysis on the potential effects of this change on the following year's capitation rates. If the fiscal analysis demonstrates that these changes will result in additional state costs of $500,000 or more for a given fiscal year, the department shall submit the policy changes for review by the joint legislative budget committee.
Prior to the implementation of any developmentally disabled or long‑term care statewide provider rate adjustments not already specifically authorized by the legislature, court mandates or changes to federal law, the department shall submit a report for review by the joint legislative budget committee. The report must include, at a minimum, the estimated cost of the provider rate adjustment and the ongoing source of funding for the adjustment, if applicable.
It is the intent of the legislature that the department of economic security increase home and community based service provider rates by two per cent above the June 30, 2014 rate beginning on July 1, 2014. The two per cent provider rate increase for home and community based service provider rates may not be used for any administrative costs of the department of economic security. It is the intent of the legislature that the department of economic security not reduce any developmentally disabled provider rates in order to fund increases for other developmentally disabled provider service rates.

All federal workforce investment act monies that are received by this state in excess of $56,060,000 are appropriated to the workforce investment act services line item. Before the expenditure of these increased monies, the department of economic security shall report the intended use of monies above $56,060,000 to the joint legislative budget committee.
Departmentwide
The above appropriations are in addition to funds granted to the state by the federal government for the same purposes but are deemed to include the sums deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the department of economic security pursuant to section 42‑5029, Arizona Revised Statutes.
The department of economic security shall forward a monthly report comparing total expenditures for the month and year‑to‑date as compared to prior year totals must be forwarded to the president of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, the chairpersons of the senate and house of representatives appropriations committees and the director of the joint legislative budget committee on or before the thirtieth of the following month.

For every dollar the department of economic security receives in federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant monies in fiscal year 2014-2015 in excess of the $218,705,400 appropriated, minus any fiscal year 2013-2014 revertments expected to be spent as administrative adjustments in fiscal year 2014-2015, the department's state general fund appropriation is reduced by a corresponding dollar amount. The department shall report to the joint legislative budget committee and the governor's office of strategic planning and budgeting on or before September 1, 2014 its estimate of how much of its fiscal year 2013‑2014 revertment will be spent as administrative adjustments in fiscal year 2014-2015 and excluded from the total amount of federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant monies. On or before June 30, 2015, the department shall notify the joint legislative budget committee and the governor's office of strategic planning and budgeting of the amount of state general fund monies, if any, that will not be expended under this provision.
Before expending monies from the contingency funding line item in fiscal year 2014-2015, the department of economic security shall submit an expenditure plan to the joint legislative budget committee for its review. Monies in the contingency funding line item must be spent only to address unanticipated shortfalls in child protective services.
