Notes

  • Line items that start with 1595- are typically referred to as "operating transfers." Operating transfers provide funding to supplement other sources of revenue for off-budget trusts.
  • In FY14, in order to support expanded Commonwealth Care coverage, $94 million in revenue that was previously off-budget in the Medical Security Program was deposited directly into the Commonwealth Care Trust Fund, and the operating transfer into the Trust was accordingly reduced. Use caution in comparing the FY14 operating transfer into the Commonwealth Care Trust Fund with prior years' transfers.
  • Funding for the Commonwealth Care Trust Fund has been through an operating transfer from the General Fund into the trust, and starting in FY09, there was additional funding from a "pre-budget transfer" of a portion of revenue from cigarette taxes. In FY16, the total includes a reduction of $110,000,000 that is expected to be returned to the General Fund because of reduced costs to the Trust.
