State Appropriations Federal Revenue Other Revenue*Actual FY15 state appropriations are less than Estimated FY16 as a result of savings in payroll, with additional savings attributed to decreasing caseloads in SNAP, TANF, and Child Care. The federal variance is all decreased caseloads of major federal programs (listed above), and the other revenue is SSA reimbursement. The Department’s FY17 Requested Savings Plan accounts for all of the differences between Estimated FY16 and Requested FY17.

*The increase from FY14 to FY15 is the result of additional state appropriation for SNAP administration funded by a transfer of $22.5 million in savings from TennCare, which resulted from TennCare assuming the lead role in Medicaid eligibility, and DHS shifting to a support role.
