JOHNSTOWN The state may end up withholding about $161,000 from the Fulton County Department of Social Services for 2020, county officials heard recently.
DSS Commissioner Anne Solar told the Board of Supervisors’ Human Services Committee that outstanding state revenues are still out there related to the 20 percent withhold due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She said outstanding revenues were about $13,000 in 2019, but might be as much as $161,000 to DSS with the first COVID year.
“At this point, we have had $45,000 withheld,” Solar said.
Solar also related other state impacts on Fulton County during an informational report. She said the county recently received a final 2019 chargeback bill of $250,117 from the state Office of Children & Family Services for facility per diem costs.
