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 July 2009.
On July 27, 2009, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $360.0 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through July 31, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $209.8 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 1, 2009, the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $75.6 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through July 31, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $57.1 million. The negative balance 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.
A359
On July 1, 2009, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $351.9 million. This negative balance continued through July 31, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $208.6 million. The Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $363.2 billion on July 28, 2009. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 1, 2009, the Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance closed at a negative $172 thousand. This negative balance continued through July 31, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $4.8 million. The Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $8.8 million on July 30, 2009. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 16, 2009, the Mediation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2 thousand. This negative balance continued through July 31, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $21 thousand (its intra-month low). The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 27, 2009, the Lottery Fund cash balance closed at a negative $33.8 million. This negative balance continued through July 31, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $32.6 million. The Lottery Fund cash balance reached its intra month low of a negative $34.4 million on July 30, 2009. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund, Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund, Medical Assistance Trust Fund, Utility Public Benefits Fund, Mediation Fund, and Lottery 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
