This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation to the Department of Human Services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. It aims to increase existing items of appropriation across various funds within the Bureau for Social Services, specifically for the Office of the Commissioner, Child Protective Services Case Workers, Social Services Case Workers, Adult Protective Services Case Workers, and Youth Service Case Workers. The bill outlines specific increases in funding for each of these categories, including funds 0486, 0493, 0494, 0495, and 0496, with the total appropriations being adjusted to meet the needs of these services.
The bill is based on the Governor's Executive Budget Document, which indicates an unappropriated balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, available for appropriation during the specified fiscal year. The proposed increases include specific amounts for current expenses and personal services across the various departments, ensuring that the Bureau for Social Services can effectively allocate resources to support its operations and services for vulnerable populations in West Virginia.
