These corrected .forms reflect changes in the D apartment of Social Services budget for indirect cost only. The first area of change is in our Medicaid budget for 1978-1979. After Orange County had submitted our finalized budget for 1978-1979, the North Carolina Legislature voted to change the state percentage of participation (non-••fed ral funds) in the State/County G.A. , and nonfederal share of the Intermediate Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities portions of the Medicaid budget. The state rate of matching for the Pest Home rates increased from 50% to 70% (-$28,080) while the state matching rate for ICF/SNr-,;.decreased from 85% to 65% (-x$55,000). The net result of these Legislative changes was to increase Orange County's cost by $26,920. Since these rate changes have already been placed in effect, it will be necessary to ask for a budget revision during the '78-'79 year. At this time, our 1978-1.979 budget needs amendment in the amount of Indirect Costs which we are allowed to claim for reimbursement. Our finalized budget listed $13,200 in Indirect Costs for 1978-1979. This reflected an anticipates increase of 10% over our 1976-1977 approved rate. We were notified in Sep- tember of 1978, that our approved 1977-1977 rate would be $25,727.82, over double o4r old rate of $12,336.78. As a result, we are requesting that the $13,200 figure of our current budget be changed to $39,215.00, which breaks down, as follows: 1978-1979 - $25,725.82 (New hate) July '77--,Tune '78 13,389.00 (Increase for 77-78) $39,114.82 or rounded off $39,115 Please note that this change "in Indirect Costs results in an increase of $426.00 in County Funds shown on our budget. It should be noted that this increase is merely on paper as these expenses have already been incurred (initial cost of DS9 building, maintenance of building, finance office suppor etc.). The $426.00 in County Funds is the amount (already being spend, as noted) required to match the additional $17,320 in federal funds and the additionnal, $758 in state funds which we are now allowed to claim.
