SCO's ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT IOUs

The State Controller's Office (SCO) has announced that they will be issuing registered warrants (IOU’s) effective for payments generated July 2, 2009, and after, if immediate budget and cash solutions are not quickly adopted by the Governor and the Legislature.

The Department of Alcohol and Drug Program’s state general fund (including Drug Medi-Cal) payments will be issued as a registered warrant. Payments for Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant funds and California Access to Recovery Effort (CARE) funds are exempt from the registered warrants as they are federal funds.

The warrants will carry an interest rate set by the Pooled Money Investment Board. Any rate adoption will become effective immediately. The warrants will have a maturity date of October 1, 2009.

If IOUs are issued, the State Controller’s Office will launch a customer call-center to answer questions. The SCO’s Web site, www.sco.ca.gov, will be updated regularly with the latest information on the State’s cash position and related developments. The SCO’s Web site also has several new Web pages with information about registered warrants.

ADP will continue to process county and provider claims and submit them to the SCO with the intent of not adding to any further payments delays. ADP does not control or verify the information provided by the Controller.
