Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
November 30, 2011
To 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 exercise 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 October 2011.
On October 1,2011, the Workers Compensation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $414 thousand. The cash balance remained negative through October 31,2011, when it reached a negative $491 thousand (its intra-month low) .
The Workers Compensation Fund shortfall was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures, was 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,
Mike Huebsch
