Washington:

Coverage to All Children

Funding

The new initiative, and any growth in current program enrollment, is funded by state dollars and federal matching dollars when applicable (federal matching dollars are not available for covering some of the immigrant children and those who are undocumented). The state funds are general revenue funds; no specific source of funds was identified to finance the expansion. In total, over the two-year biennial budget period that began July 1, 2007 and will end June 30, 2009, the program is expected to cost a total of $58.4 million; $32.5 in state general funds and $25.9 in federal matching funds. Funding after June 30, 2009 must be appropriated.
