REMARKS - 1976 Expenditures Compared with 1975 Expenditures
1976 actual expenditures for all Social Services programs was less than that spent in 1975.
(1976 expenditures were $128,699 less or 97.8% of that spent in 1975.)
1
Significant reductions in cost were shown in the ADC program (dowel by $129,876) , Day Care
g^ (down by $38,338) and Foster Care (down by $72,248) , while costs were up in the Aid to Needy
Disabled program (up $30,906) and administration (up $67,541 or 4.7%.)
4
A Caseload decreases in the ADC category and the Day Care programs accounted for cost reductions
in these areasthile the Department's emphasis on less costly placements for children and the
collection of Social Security payments and child support from natural parents for these same
children reduced costs for Foster Care.
Cost increases were due primarily to more people qualifying for the State Aid to Needy Dis-
abled program since 1975 and for administrative costs. The administrative cost increase of
4.7% was due to inflation for salaries and overhead costs as well as the implementation of
the federal child support program (IV-D) . Administrative cost increases were constrained by
a reduction in staff compared with 1975 as well as other administrative overhead cost re-
duction efforts.
1976 Expenditures Compared with the 1976 Budget
Actual expenditures fell $107,384 under the amount budgeted for 1976. Expenditures were
98.2% of the amount budgeted. The General Assistance account, which is controlled and
funded 100% by the County, was expended at a level of 95.5%.

Sunman:
Total collections increased by 10%, primarily because of greatly increased collections
from parents for the foster care of their children. The implementation and enforcement
of fees for day care is also becoming a positive factor.
Other categories remained stable. The new IV-D program as of this point has not in-
creased ADC collections. State/Federal incentive payments to the counties are delayed.
The re-employment of a Recovery Agent (bill collector) should increase recoveries by
approximately $3,000 per month beginning in February.
