Notes: |
|
|
|
|
1 |
The March 2014
Revenue Revision for FY 15 had assumed collection of Maine's estimated $5.6
million share of the disputed payments from 2003 calendar year sales. These
payments were actually included in the State's FY 14 payment and explain the
positive variance in actual FY 14 revenue, although the amount attributed to
the 2003 disputed payments is not clear. |
|
2 |
The December
2014 Revenue Revision for FY 15 removes the disputed payment amount of $5.6 million that was paid in FY 14 instead
of FY 15. In addition, confusion at the national level regarding the
distribution of funds included in the April 2014 payments may have resulted
in an overpayment to Maine of approximately $1.36 million in FY14. The FY 15
forecast assumes this $1.36 million FY 14 overpayment will be offset against
Maine’s April 2015 resulting in a further one-time reduction in the FY 15
forecast. |
|

For the purposes
of this summary, transfers out are treated as an expenditure/use and are
positive amounts, while transfers in are negative amounts. |
|
4 |
PL 2013 c. 444
(LD 386) provided allocations of $264,014 in FY 14 and $14,014 in FY 15 for
reimbursement for smoking cessation products under the MaineCare program. The
Governor's veto of the bill was overridden on January 21, 2014. Given the
general effective date for nonemergency laws passed in the Second Regular
Session of the 126th Legislature was August 1, 2014, the FY 14 allocation was
not available for use in FY 14 and was retained in the Fund for a Healthy
Maine. |
|
5 |
PL 2015, c. 16
(LD 236) adjusts fiscal year 2014-15 funding in the Medical Care - Payments
to Providers program by $2,446,083 and provides $29,805 in fiscal year
2014-15 for Maine's portion of a multistate cost-sharing agreement related to
the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement diligent enforcement requirement. |
