The executive proposal for the FY 2002-2003 Family Independence Agency budget (welfare). This would appropriate $3.955 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $3.635 billion, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $1.208 billion would come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year's $1.179 billion. The budget includes an $88.5 million federal Food Stamp Program funding increase, an $80.2 million gross, $20 million GF increase in welfare spending, and other adjustments to meet increased demand which is expected because of slower economic growth.
