Expenditures above the level of Departmental participation and those services funded without Departmental approval shall be the fiscal responsibility of the local authorities. The eligibility requirements included in the regulations refer to maximum level of reimbursement for which the Department will participate. The county may fund programs, services, and facilities at rates they elect. However, the expenditures above the approved levels are the responsibility of the county. In cases where the county funds at a lower level than that listed in policy, the Department will only participate in expenditures based on the lower level established.
