Summary Of Governor Jindal's Overview of the FY 2009-2010 Executive BudgetUsing Federal Stimulus FundsWhile Louisiana's portion of federal stimulus money is estimated to be about $3.6 billion, the total amount utilized in the FY10 Executive Budget is $943 million, of which $666 million was used to replace state General Fund dollars.To prepare strategically for future years, it would be irresponsible to utilize all the federal budget stabilization funds in one fiscal year. Instead, the fiscally prudent use of these dollars is to spread them over a two-year period, as the federal government will not allow the funds to be spent after these two years. It is important to emphasize again that this federal assistance is temporary and should not be considered a permanent component of the state’s budgetary baseline. Stimulus used in the budget to replace General Fund dollars included:Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) - $327.1 million
State Fiscal Stabilization Fund – Education Grant
Higher Education - $218.7 million
MFP - $37.5 million
State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (“Flex” Grant) - $64.5 million
DSS Grants (Child Support Enforcement, Child Welfare, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Independent Living) - $4.5 million
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - $7.5 million
Agriculture – Wildfire Suppression - $3.1 million
Vocational Rehabilitation (DSS) - $345,000
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant (LCLE) - $3.2 million
Stimulus used in the budget to mitigate other reductions included Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) of $241.7 million to replace a loss of federal funds, $35.8 million of which is due to the decreased DSH and Medicaid match rate over nine months in FY10 (these match decreases will apply to 12 months in FY11); Fiscal Stabilization Fund (Education) of $33.8 million for MFP to replace decreasing statutory dedications; and Vocational Rehabilitation (DSS) funds of $1.5 million to replace decreasing federal funds
