this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be
allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not
include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly
provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are
provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose,
except as expressly provided in subsection (3) of this section.
(2)
The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services
that will require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly
authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and
spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in
this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state
moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the
department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys
shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation
providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state
general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this
subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative

after May 1, 2000, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department

However, the department shall not transfer state moneys that are provided

insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 2000 caseload
forecasts and utilization assumptions in the medical assistance, long‑term
care, foster care, adoption support, voluntary placement, and child support
programs, the department may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for
a specified purpose after approval by the director of financial management.

2001, and $4,992,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are
provided solely for alternatives for persons who would otherwise be at

205(1) of this act to assure that the average number of persons with
developmental disabilities in the state hospitals does not exceed sixty-six per
day during the first biennial quarter; sixty per day during the second;
fifty-four per day during the third; and forty-eight per day during the final
quarter of the 1999-2001 biennium. The developmental disabilities program
shall transfer $285 of the general fund‑-state appropriation to the
mental health program for each bed-day by which these quarterly targets are

crisis response system managed by regional support networks, improve crisis
prevention and stabilization services through the developmental disabilities
community services system, and expand community residential capacity for
persons with developmental disabilities who are ready for discharge from state

of services provided so that the average cost per day does not exceed $300 per
person placed in this expanded community residential capacity. The department
shall report to the appropriate committees of the legislature progress towards
implementing this subsection after each calendar quarter. The legislature
finds that, in addition to the appropriations in this subsection for
improvements in services to persons with developmental disabilities who are
committed to the custody of the secretary under chapter 71.05 RCW, it is
necessary to study long-term treatment alternatives and their legal, fiscal,
and policy implications. Therefore, the department shall provide a report to
the ways and means committee of the senate and the appropriations committee of
the house of representatives by December 1, 2000, containing options and
recommendations for secure treatment programs. The report shall identify
various treatment models that could be implemented and various types and
locations of secure facilities, both state-owned and leased, in which programs
could be sited, together with the department's recommendations. The report
shall evaluate the potential for siting such programs on the grounds of
existing state residential habilitation centers. The report shall also include
analysis of advantages and disadvantages associated with contracting for some
or all of the new program options identified. The report shall evaluate the
options based on short-term and long-term costs, client and community security,
efficiency of coordination with other service delivery systems, and how they
address specific legal issues. In developing this report, the department shall
invite participation by representatives of the Washington protection and
advocacy system (WPAS), and shall include in the report WPAS' position on
options and recommendations submitted by the department and any additional
recommendations made by WPAS. The legislature recognizes a need to improve
long-term services provided to individuals with developmental disabilities who

achieve progress against outcome measures specified in RCW 74.08A.410. Valid outcome
measures of job retention and wage progression shall be developed and reported quarterly
to appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the legislature for families
who leave assistance, measured after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months. An
increased attention to job retention and wage progression is necessary to
emphasize the legislature's goal that the WorkFirst program succeed in helping
recipients gain long-term economic independence and not cycle on and off public
assistance. The wage progression measure shall report the median percentage increase
in quarterly earnings and hourly wage after 12 months, 24 months, and 36
months. The wage progression report shall also report the percent with
earnings above one hundred percent and two hundred percent of the federal
poverty level. The report shall compare former WorkFirst participants with
similar workers who did not participate in WorkFirst. The department shall
also report percentage of families who have returned to temporary assistance
for needy families after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months.
(b) Develop
informational materials that educate families about the difference between cash
assistance and work support benefits. These materials must explain, among
other facts, that the benefits are designed to support their employment, that
there are no time limits on the receipts of work support benefits, and that
immigration or residency status will not be affected by the receipt of
benefits. These materials shall be posted in all community service offices and
distributed to families. Materials must be available in multiple languages.
When a family leaves the temporary assistance for needy families program,
receives cash diversion assistance, or withdraws a temporary assistance for
needy families application, the department of social and health services shall
educate them about the difference between cash assistance and work support
benefits and offering them the opportunity to begin or to continue receiving
work support benefits, so long as they are eligible. The department shall
provide this information through in-person interviews, over the telephone,
and/or through the mail. Work support benefits include food stamps, medicaid
for all family members, medicaid or state children's health insurance program
for children, and child care assistance. The department shall report annually
to the legislature the number of families who have had exit interviews, been
reached successfully by phone, and sent mail. The report shall also include
the percentage of families who elect to continue each of the benefits and the
percentage found ineligible by each substantive reason code. A substantive
reason code shall not be "other." The report shall identify barriers
to informing families about work support benefits and describe existing and future
actions to overcome such barriers.
(c)
Provide $500,000 from the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2000 and $500,000 from the general fund‑-state appropriation for
fiscal year 2001 for continuation of the WorkFirst evaluation conducted by the
joint legislative audit and review committee.

(d) Report to the appropriate committees of the legislature, by December
1, ((1999)) 2000, how the new federal child support incentive
system can be used to maximize federal incentive payments and to support the
greatest achievement of WorkFirst program goals. In the event that the
department earns federal child support incentive payments in excess of amounts
budgeted, the department shall use one-half of those additional funds to offset
general fund‑-state allotments and one-half of those additional funds to
improve child support services. The department shall also work with the
Washington state association of county clerks to identify ways to protect the
confidentiality of social security numbers on court documents needed by the
child support enforcement system while ensuring the reliability of this
information without significantly increasing the cost to administer the child
support system. The department shall report its recommendations for protecting
the confidentiality of social security numbers to appropriate committees of the
legislature by December 1, 2000.
(e)
Provide up to $500,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation to the
office of financial management for a study of rate setting methods and policy
for subsidized child care, the best method for coordinating and consolidating
child care and early education programs currently funded by state government,
and for a review of the various state programs for low-income families with
children. The child care rate study shall analyze the effects of rate setting
policy on the affordability and quality of the overall child care market. The
child care and early education program study shall evaluate how current
programs may be coordinated and consolidated to provide the most efficient
level of administration, grant funding, and increased accessibility by families
who are served by these programs. The study of state programs for low-income
families shall compare and contrast eligibility and access to these programs
and identify ways to coordinate or consolidate these programs to reduce
administrative costs and improve access. The office shall submit a report to
the department of social and health services and the appropriate committees of
the legislature by December 1, 2000.
(f)
Convene a working group that includes stakeholders and recipients of public
assistance to establish basic customer service performance measures and goals.
The customer service measures and goals will seek to make support for working
families a priority. Customer service measures and goals may include, but are
not limited to: Hours of operation that allow working families to get services
without missing work, reduced wait times, systems for answering and returning
phone calls in a timely manner, access to benefits that support work, access to
job training and education, and, access to services for families with limited
literacy or English skills, and families with special needs. The department
shall report to the legislature by January 2001 the establishment of customer
service measures and goals, and the departmental actions to assure the goals
are being met.
(g)
Use existing flexibility in federal and state welfare laws and regulations to
support, on a limited basis, longer education and training plans that have a
strong likelihood to lead to long-term economic independence for recipient.
(h)
Provide up to $1,400,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation for
after-school care for middle school youth through programs such as those
described in House Bill No. 2530 (after-school care).

House Bill No. 2869 (child care provider training).
(j)
Provide $230,000, or as much thereof as may be necessary, to the department of
health to expand the vasectomy project to temporary assistance for needy
families clients and their partners until such time as a federal family
planning waiver is granted that will cover these services.
(k)
Ensure that funds provided in this subsection to implement policies that
disregard or exempt a portion of recipients' income are designed to achieve
stated WorkFirst program goals and outcomes. Income disregards are effective
incentives to help WorkFirst families move towards economic independence.
Income disregard policy shall not discriminate based on who the specific
employer is.
(2) (($50,860,000))
$43,408,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2000 and (($50,825,000)) $43,386,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2001 are provided solely for cash assistance and
other services to recipients in the general assistance‑-unemployable
program. Within these amounts, the department may expend funds for services
that assist recipients to reduce their dependence on public assistance,
provided that expenditures for these services and cash assistance do not exceed
funds provided. The department shall, by July 1, 2000, begin using federal
funds provided in subsection (1) of this section, as allowed by federal rules,
for the costs of providing income assistance to children with court-appointed
guardians or court-appointed custodians.

$5,444,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2000 and (($8,752,000)) $5,632,000 of the general fund‑-state

RCW 74.08A.280 permits the department to develop contracts for state-wide
welfare-to-work services. Within amounts available in this section, the
department shall provide progress reports on the use of such contracting to the
fiscal committees of the legislature by January 1, 2001. Each of these reports
shall describe the number of current contracts for temporary assistance for
needy families (TANF) or WorkFirst services that the department has with
community social service providers and a description of the services being
provided through each of those contracts.
(5)
The legislature finds that, since the passage of the federal personal
responsibility and work opportunity act in 1997, Washington's public assistance
population has declined dramatically, and that the currently appropriated level
for the temporary assistance for needy families program is sufficient for the
1999-01 biennium. The legislature further finds that federal funding for the temporary
assistance for needy families program may decrease after the current five-year
block grant has expired. The legislature declares that at least $60,000,000 of
the year-end balance in the federal TANF grant shall be held in reserve by the
office of financial management at the close of the 1999-01 biennium.

$49,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2001 and
$49,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation for fiscal year 2001
are provided solely for the medical assistance administration and the health
care authority to jointly conduct a state-wide study to:
(i)
Determine payment sources and rates paid for primary health care providers
performing outpatient primary care services and primary care in hospital
emergency rooms for the state's medical assistance programs, including healthy
options, and the basic health plan. To determine payment sources and rates
paid, the agencies may seek information in relation to such factors as:
(A)
The rates paid to primary care providers for their medical assistance programs,
including healthy options, and basic health plan contracts; and
(B)
How these rates compare with nonpublic pay clients for the same services.
The
agencies are authorized to attain this information from health plans or
providers. The agencies shall maintain the confidentiality of data collected
for the purpose of the study;
(ii)
Determine which primary care providers serve a relatively high number of
low-income clients, and how that affects their medical practice. For purposes
of the study, "primary care providers" includes pediatricians, family
practitioners, general practitioners, internists, physician assistants, and
advanced registered nurse practitioners; and (iii) Develop
proposals to support these providers' medical practices. The agencies must
determine what constitutes a relatively high percentage of low-income clients
for individual primary care providers who contract for medical assistance
administration programs, including healthy options, and the basic health plan,
and recommend whether and at what point this disproportionately high percentage
should result in additional compensation to the primary care provider. The
agencies shall recommend a method to calculate a payment adjustment designed to
help support medical practices, according to the study's findings.
(b)
In conducting the study, the agencies shall determine which regions of the
state to include in the study, based on factors the agencies determine will
provide the most representative data state-wide. The agencies shall also
consult with interested parties, including any organization or agency affected
by this subsection, throughout the course of the study.
(c)
The agencies shall report to the legislature by December 1, 2000, with the
results of the primary health care provider study. The report shall include
recommendations on: (i) What constitutes a disproportionately high percentage
of low-income clients; (ii) possible payment adjustments for these providers;
(iii) methods to implement such a rate adjustment; and (iv) what such a payment
adjusted program will cost.
(17)
From funds appropriated in this section, the medical assistance program shall
assist the Washington state institute for public policy with the assessment of
options for expanding medicaid eligibility required in section 607 of this 2000
act. Such assistance shall include analysis of medicaid enrollment and
expenditure data needed for enrollment and cost projections; information and
advice on state and federal medicaid requirements; and liaison with state and
federal officials in other states undertaking similar expansions.
(18)

"Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education
annual average enrollment including those students counted under the special
education demonstration projects, excluding the birth through age two
enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent
basic education enrollment. For the 1999-00 and the 2000-01 school years, each
district's funded enrollment percent shall be the lesser of the district's
actual enrollment percent for the school year for which the allocation is being
determined or 12.7 percent.

aggregate or on a dollar per funded student basis.
(b) The
committee shall then consider unusual needs of districts due to a special
education population which differs significantly from the assumptions of the
state funding formula. Awards shall be made to districts that convincingly
demonstrate need due to the concentration and/or severity of disabilities in
the district. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy
or service delivery style are not a basis for safety net awards.
(c) The
maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may not
exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one
percent.
(d)
Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of potential medicaid
eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent in accordance with
Substitute Senate Bill No. 5626 (medicaid payments to schools).

general fund‑-federal appropriation shall be expended for safety net
funding to meet the extraordinary needs of one or more individual special
education students. If safety net awards to meet the extraordinary needs of
one or more individual special education students exceed $5,500,000 of the
general fund‑-federal appropriation, the superintendent shall expend all
available federal discretionary funds necessary to meet this need. General
fund‑-state funds shall not be expended for this purpose.
(((10)))
(11) A maximum of $678,000 may be expended from the general fund‑-state
appropriations to fund 5.43 full-time equivalent teachers and 2.1 full-time
equivalent aides at children's orthopedic hospital and medical center. This
amount is in lieu of money provided through the home and hospital allocation
and the special education program.
(((11)))
(12) A maximum of $1,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation is provided for projects to provide special education students
with appropriate job and independent living skills, including work experience

may be expended by the superintendent for projects related to use of inclusion
strategies by school districts for provision of special education services. The
