FY 2019-20 Payments Have Arrived

On Friday, August 13, the State Controller’s Office (SCO) processed the checks for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Annual Claims filed in February 2021. Those checks went into the mail on Monday, August 16 and should have arrived this past week, or no later than the week of August 23. Not all of the programs were paid at 100% pro rata. Below is a summary of the payment percentages for the most popular programs for the FY 2019-20 Annual Claims:

1. Administrative License Suspension - Per Se (Program 246) - 100.00%

2. Domestic Violence Arrest Policies and Standards (Program 167) - 100.00%

3. Domestic Violence Arrests and Victim Assistance (Program 274) - 97.63%

4. Peace Officers Personnel Records: Unfounded Complaints and Discovery (Program 264) - 95.94%

5. Peace Officer Training: Mental Health/Crisis Intervention (Program 373) - 100.00%

6. Rape Victims Counseling Center Notice (Program 127) - 100.00%

7. U Visa 918 Form, Victim of Crime: Nonimmigrant Status (Program 372) - 85.69%

*The claim titled “Peace Officers Bill of Rights” is excluded from the expedited payment requirements of Article XIIIB Section 6 (b)(5) of the California State Constitution.  This program involves employee rights/protections and is not subject to the “fund or suspend” requirements of the State Constitution.  As a result, the Governor’s Department of Finance and the State Legislature have discretion to fund.

Lastly, the “Initial Claims” for the program “Peace Officer Training: Mental Health/Crisis Intervention” (Program 373) were also a part of these SCO payments. All Claim Years for that initial claim period FY 2016-17, FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 received 100.00% payment. As always, please let me know if you have any additional questions.
