Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
March 31, 2009
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 February 2009.
On February 1, 2009, the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $101.1 million. This negative balance continued through February 28, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $74.3 million. The Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $101.3 million on February 9, 2009. The negative balance was due to the transfer of $200 million to the Medical Assistance Trust Fund, as required in
2007 Wisconsin Act 20, and the pending liquidation of fund securities necessary to offset this shortfall.
On February 1, 2009, the Conservation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $25.3 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through February 28, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $15.7 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On February 1, 2009, the Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance closed at a negative $1.6 million. This negative balance continued through February 28, 2009, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $5.6 million. The Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $6.7 million on February 23, 2009. The negative balance was due to a delayed transfer to the fund.
