| Statement of Purpose |
| RS17289 |
This is the fiscal year 2009 appropriation for the Division of Veterans Services within the Department of Self-Governing Agencies. It includes an increase in benefit costs for employer health insurance costs, inflationary adjustments for pharmaceuticals and janitorial contracts for the nursing homes, an increase for statewide costs allocation, and 3% funding for the Change in Employee Compensation. Additional funding is also provided to increase the pay for the nursing and dietary supervisors and for one-time capital outlay for the cemetery operations and the nursing facilities. Spending authority of $10,500,000 in federal funds is authorized to identify a site and develop a veterans’ cemetery in Eastern Idaho.
This bill includes a supplemental that adjusts spending authority between the dedicated and federal funds for fiscal year 2008 to begin to provide services in the nursing facilities with Medicare as the payer. An additional $98,800 is also appropriated to move the headquarters function out of the nursing facility in Boise and expand physical rehabilitation services by moving into the headquarters space. Headquarters will relocate to office space in the downtown Boise area.
