RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Receive and file the Auditor-Controller Report of Refunds
for FY 2018-19.
SUMMARY:
Filing the report of refunds made during FY 2018-19 will meet the filing obligations under Board Resolution No. 71-841 and Government Code Section 26906.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Board Resolution No. 71-841, dated July 20, 1971, authorizes the Auditor-Controller to act on behalf of the Board of Supervisors (Board) pursuant to Government Code Section 26906 in making refunds of monies erroneously paid to the County. The Resolution and Code Section also require the Auditor-Controller to file annually with the Board a report of refunds of money, other than taxes, which have been erroneously paid to the County.
The attached reports are the listings of 19 refunds paid out during FY 2018-19. The refunds are typically for payments made by errors, payments from the state made to ineligible vendors and payments of application fees placed on hold. In addition, Social Services Agency issues client refunds because of its participation in state and federal income tax intercept programs. Refunds may be due to issues such as an Administrative Hearing that resulted in a re-computation of the original debt balance, outstanding debts which were intercepted with the same outstanding amount on two parties' tax returns and accounting errors related to record management with the State's Welfare Intercept System computer application.
Refunds for amount over $1,000 are as
