Department of Administration
October 30, 2009
The Honorable, The Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by s.
20.002(11)(f), Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes) and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to utilize the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative cash balances during the month of September 2009.
September 2009 Utilization of Temporary Reallocation Authority
[in millions]
Fund Beg Bal End Bal Low Bal Reason for
Cash Deficit
Insured Patients and Families Compensation
-$544.3 -$33.1 -$44.4 See detailed
explanation below
Mediation -0.1 -0.1 -0.1 Timing of revenues and expenditures
Permanent Endowment
-2.0 -2.0 -2.0 Timing of
revenues and expenditures
Utility Public Benefits
-5.8 -10.4 -10.5 Timing of
revenues and expenditures
The cash deficit in the
Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund was due to the transfer of $200 million to the Medical Assistance Trust Fund per
2007 Wisconsin Act 20, and the pending liquidation of fund securities necessary to offset this shortfall.
The Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund, Mediation Fund, Permanent Endowment Fund, and Utility Public Benefits Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations and did not exceed the balances of the funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
Sincerely,
michael l. morgan
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
