BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: p.87-89)
The Office of Welfare Inspector General is responsible for the prevention,
investigation and prosecution of public assistance fraud. The Office works
closely with the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, local social
services offices, the Office of Children and Family Services, the Department of
Law and others to prevent fraudulent activity in the welfare system.
Approximately 63 percent of the Office's operation are supported by the General
Fund, and the remaining 37 percent is supported by funds the agency receives
from the Federal government for fraud related to welfare, Food Stamps and
Medicaid.
The Office is included in the Education, Labor and Family Assistance
appropriation bill.
State Operations
The Executive recommends an appropriation of $1,021,000, an increase of $70,000
over State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2000-01 levels. The proposed increase is due to the
annualized costs related to moving the office to a new location.
