§ 14154 Federal Reimbursement Expenditures

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can spend money on certain work if the U.S. government promises to pay it back later.
  • •The state can only spend money on things the U.S. government agrees to fully cover, except for basic office costs.
  • •The money spent is like a loan and isn’t counted as the state’s own spending.
  • •When the U.S. government pays the state back, the money goes into the same fund it came from.

Example

The state fixes a road that the U.S. government promised to pay for.

The state can spend money to fix the road because the U.S. government said they’ll pay it all back. The money spent isn’t counted as the state’s own spending, and when the U.S. pays it back, the money goes back into the state’s fund.

§ 14154 Federal Reimbursement Expenditures

In addition to the purposes for which money is appropriated to the department or any division thereof, all of such money or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated and may be expended by the department for the performance of such work. Such expenditures shall be limited to those items for which the Government of the United States has agreed to reimburse the State in full, except for general administrative expenses which shall be chargeable to the funds appropriated for the support or administration of the division doing the work. Such expenditures, to the extent to which the United States is obligated to reimburse the State, shall be considered as temporary advancements for the performance of such work and shall not be considered as expenditures of state funds. Such expenditures shall be excluded in making the computations required by Article 2, Chapter 3, Part 1, Division 3 of this title. Money received from the Government of the United States as reimbursements for such expenditures shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the fund from which the advancements were made. (Added by Stats. 1955, Ch. 84.)
