Distribution of community aids funds to counties. 46.495(1)(d)
(d) From the appropriations under
s. 20.435 (3) (o) and
(7) (b) and
(o), the department shall distribute the funding for social services, including funding for foster care or treatment foster care of a child on whose behalf aid is received under
s. 46.261, to county departments under
ss. 46.215,
46.22, and

s. 46.40 (2),
(8), and
(9) (b). Each county's required match for the distribution under
s. 46.40 (2) shall be specified in a schedule established annually by the department of health and family services. Each county's required match for the distribution under
s. 46.40 (8) for a year equals 9.89% of the total of the county's distributions under s.
46.40 (8) for that year for which matching funds are required plus the amount the county was required by s.
46.26 (2) (c), 1985 stats., to spend for juvenile delinquency-related services from its distribution for 1987. Each county's required match for the distribution under
s. 46.40 (9) (b) for a year equals 9.89% of that county's amounts described in
s. 46.40 (9) (a) (intro.) for that year. Matching funds may be from county tax levies, federal and state revenue sharing funds, or private donations to the county that meet the requirements specified in
s. 51.423 (5). Private donations may not exceed 25% of the total county match. If the county match is less than the amount required to generate the full amount of state and federal funds distributed for this period, the decrease in the amount of state and federal funds equals the difference between the required and the actual amount of county matching funds.
