AB 85: Redirection of County
Health Realignment Funds
Created in 2013 as part of the State Budget Process
Based on premise that counties would have savings to
their indigent health programs due to the expansion of
Medi-Cal to childless adults beginning January 1, 2014
State wanted to reclaim these county savings in order
to help fund increase state Medi-Cal costs
Redirected Health Realignment funds are used to offset state General Fund obligations for CalWORKS

Key Facts – State Level Accounts
Law Enforcement Accounts are Part of the Larger Account
Structure
Certain Accounts Receive Guaranteed Amounts
 Not Law Enforcement, but Impacts Law Enforcement : Sales Tax
revenues are directed to the Mental Health Account first
 Sales Tax revenues provide a backfill if VLF falls short of the
guaranteed level for the ELEAS account
Most Accounts Do not Have Guaranteed Amounts - These
Depend on Actual Sales Tax Receipts
Key Facts – State Level Accounts
“Base” amounts are targets, not
guarantees for the Sales Tax accounts
If revenues are sufficient “Growth” funds are distributed
after “Base” is achieved
Base Amounts Defined
Law Enforcement
target
Is a
amount that must be achieved before
funds can flow to a Growth Account
Is not a minimum, not a guaranteed amount, not
related to workload
A “Rolling Base” is a Base amount that is adjusted each
year by the amount received in the Growth Account in a
previous year
All funds received in a fiscal year flow to the “Base”
requirement first
What’s Next in Law Enforcement
The Local Innovation Subaccount
Must be established at the Local Level in FY 15-16
 Transfers begin in FY 15-16
Transfer 10% of the moneys received from these
State Growth Accounts to the Innovation
Subaccount
Trial Court - Community Corrections - District
Attorney & Public Defender - Juvenile Justice
Allowable Uses – By the Board of Supervisors – as
would spend any funds in these accounts
What’s New – Legislative Changes
Assembly Bill (AB) 1468 – Public Safety

Trial Court Security
Supplantation definitions
Alternative Custody Programs
Juvenile Justice Data Workgroup
Juvenile Reentry Grant

1991 Realignment Caseload Growth Funding
Reflects mandated growth in social services programs
Amount based on program expenditures, not caseload
Calculation based on change in County cost due to
mandated cost increases (i.e. growth in caseload)
 Determined by comparison of County specific costs from
two years ago compared to last year
 Increased costs generally = more caseload growth
State Department of Social Services and Health Care
Services calculate draft amounts for each county
Counties Review to validate amounts and recommend
adjustments

Group Discussions
Preparing for Economic Fluctuations (downturns)
Discuss strategies in setting up your county to handle
future recessions and shortfalls in realignment
Leveraging the flexibility of Realignment among
programs
Discuss opportunities in the integration of realignment
among health and human services programs
Preparing for Economic Fluctuations
What is a reasonable Reserve amount?
What are different ways a county can set up a reserve(s)?
How can counties allocate realignment in such a way to be able
to maneuver quickly to economic fluctuations? (turning off the
spigot when the funding dries up)
Flexibility/Integration
Where are the intersections/integration opportunities between
the programs that allow choices in which Realignment pot to
use?
