Overview
This bill changes the process by which the Controller reviews and adjusts reimbursement claims from local agencies and school districts for state-mandated costs. Currently, the Controller must notify claimants of adjustments within 30 days of an audit or review. This bill would give local agencies the option to offset reduced reimbursements against other unpaid claims or remit funds to the Controller instead of accepting the adjustment. The bill also clarifies the timeline for audits and interest charges on overpayments.
Key provisions
- The Controller must notify claimants of adjustments within 30 days of an audit or review.
- Local agencies can choose to offset reduced reimbursements against other unpaid claims or remit funds to the Controller.
- The Controller must specify the claim components adjusted, the amounts adjusted, interest charges, and the reason for the adjustment in the notification.
- Interest on overpaid claims will be based on the Pooled Money Investment Account rate.
- The bill clarifies that the Controller can adjust payments for intentional fraud or due to willful delays by the claimant.
