    Pharmaceuticals spending is forecasted at $3.8 million, which is $1.8 million overcurrent budget of $2.0 million.

    Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF) is funded by the Corrections TrusteeReimbursement SPR Fund. The revenue estimate has decreased from $25 million to $19million due to inmates staying a shorter time in the CTF. This shortfall is partly offsetby savings due to fewer inmates being housed at the CTF.

    Department of HealthcareFinance (HT0)

    $6.5 million: Childless Adults under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. As a result ofrecent program expansions made possible by the passage of the Affordable Care Act atthe federal level, DHCF now covers Childless Adults with incomes at or below 200% ofthe federal poverty level (FPL) through Medicaid. Shortfall is due to: 1. Fewer peopletransitioned from Alliance to Medicaid. 2. Delay in converting the 133% 200% FPLgroup to Medicaid. 3. Total Childless Adult population (Medicaid and Alliance) exceedsthe budgeted count of 59,360 childless adults under 200% of FPL for the affectedprograms. The actual enrollment was 63,018 in total across the affected programs,which is an increase of 3,658 or 6%. $5.1million: Most of the savings initiatives in the FY 2011 budget are on track; however,four initiatives that were supposed to take effect October 1, 2010 have been delayed,

    thereby reducing the achievable savings.$3.7 million: The FY 2011 budget assumed that DHCF would receive $3.7

    million in dedicted tax revenue from a tax assessment of ICF/MRs. The ICF/MRs haveappealed the assessment and the $3.7 million of revenue to support the budget will notbe collected.

    $2.0 million: unexpected fee-for-service spending growth.
