9 (1) A county must apply to the board for
10 assistance from the risk pool on or before April 1
11 January 25 to cover an unanticipated net expenditure
12 amount in excess of the county's current fiscal year
13 budgeted net expenditure amount for the county's
14 services fund. The risk pool board shall make its
15 final decisions on or before February 25 regarding
16 acceptance or rejection of the applications for
17 assistance and the total amount accepted shall be
18 considered obligated. For purposes of applying for
19 risk pool assistance and for repaying unused risk pool
20 assistance, the current fiscal year budgeted net
21 expenditure amount shall be deemed to be the higher of
22 either the budgeted net expenditure amount in the
23 management plan approved under section 331.439 for the
24 fiscal year in which the application is made or the
25 prior fiscal year's net expenditure amount.
26 (6) The total amount of risk pool assistance shall
27 be limited to the amount available in the risk pool
28 for a fiscal year. If the total amount of eligible
29 assistance exceeds the amount available in the risk
30 pool the amount of assistance paid shall be prorated
31 among the counties eligible for assistance. Moneys
32 remaining unexpended or unobligated in the risk pool
33 at the close of a fiscal year shall remain available
34 for distribution in the succeeding fiscal year
35 following the risk pool board's decisions made
36 pursuant to subparagraph (1) shall be distributed to
37 the counties eligible to receive funding from the
38 allowed growth factor adjustment appropriation for the
39 fiscal year using the distribution methodology
40 applicable to that appropriation.
