These amounts comprise all local DSS expenditures reported and reimbursed through the Locality Automated System for Expenditure Reimbursement (LASER), a VDSS financial management system. The majority of these funds are for administrative expenses, chiefly staff.
Los gastos se clasifican según la fuente de financiamiento: federal, estatal, contrapartida local para fondos federales y estatales, y solo local (gastos más allá de la contrapartida local requerida y, por lo tanto, no reembolsados).
The majority of social services spending, however, does not flow through local departments of social services and so is not included in the table below. Benefits for Medicaid, FAMIS, SNAP, TANF, Energy Assistance, and Child Care flow directly to providers or clients, not through local departments.
