AB97,26,202 46.495 (1) (d) From the appropriations under s. 20.435 (7) (b) and (o), the
3department of health and family services shall distribute the funding for social

5behalf aid is received under s. 46.261, to county departments under ss. 46.215, 46.22
6and 46.23 as provided under s. 46.40. From the appropriations under s. 20.445 (3)
7(cp), (jg) and (md), the department of industry, labor and job workforce development

9County matching funds are required for the distributions under ss. 46.40 (2) and (8)
10and 49.132 (2) (a). Each county's required match for a year equals 9.89% of the total
11of the county's distributions for that year for which matching funds are required plus
12the amount the county was required by s. 46.26 (2) (c), 1985 stats., to spend for
13juvenile delinquency-related services from its distribution for 1987. Matching funds
14may be from county tax levies, federal and state revenue sharing funds or private
15donations to the county that meet the requirements specified in s. 51.423 (5). Private
16donations may not exceed 25% of the total county match. If the county match is less
17than the amount required to generate the full amount of state and federal funds
18distributed for this period, the decrease in the amount of state and federal funds
19equals the difference between the required and the actual amount of county
20matching funds.
