45-Day Budget Revisions Webpage and Survey (ACTION REQUIRED)

Dear School Business Officials,
The California state budget was signed by the governor on Tuesday, Jun. 27, 2023, which means that Education Code Section 42127(i)(4) is now in effect. This means that the district needs to update its budget and present the revisions to the board within 45 days, which is Friday, Aug. 11. In the past, we have sent a 45-Day Budget Revision memo to the business listserv as a reminder with the timeline for submitting the updated budget information to our office. This information is now included on our website here<www.sbceo.org/domain/256>.
ACTION: Please complete the 45-Day Budget Revision Survey<forms.office.com/r/5M5sYascn1> (Due July 31)
The “Common Message” is currently under development. When it arrives, we will post it on the webpage for consideration in revising your district’s budget. In addition, an updated FCMAT LCFF Calculator<www.fcmat.org/lcff> is scheduled to be released at the end of July with changes from the Enacted Budget. This calculator should be used to run new LCFF projections and assess the impact on the budget, even if you do not plan to present a 45-day revision to the board. Please visit the website periodically to check for updates on the availability of these items – we will post as soon as we receive them.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact your District Financial Advisor.

School Business Advisory Services Team Santa Barbara County Education Office

Arrears-Summer Savings and ACH-Direct Deposit timing

Reminder Summer Months and Direct Deposits
A reminder of what can take place with direct deposits during the summer months of June, July, and August. Although infrequent, the following circumstances can occur:
* An employee with the combination of:
* Paid on both a Regular and Arrears/Summer Savings payroll during the same month, and * Newly ACH/Direct Deposit information input into the system
* Timing and results: * Activation of an ACH/Direct Deposit is usually a two-step process that takes place over two-months. * First month is a “pre-note” to validate a combination of banking institution and account data. * Second month is a live deposit of an employee’s paycheck into the designated bank account. * Regular and Arrears/Summer Savings payroll processing takes place one day apart in June, July, and August. * This sets in motion the two-step activation of an ACH/Direct Deposit in two days, not two months if an employee is receiving payment on both payrolls and has new ACH/Direct Deposit data.
* Example of the outcome: * Production of the July Regular payroll occurs on Tuesday and production of the July Arrears/Summer Savings payroll takes place on Wednesday. * Timing to produce these back-to-back payrolls results in the employee receiving a paper check for the July Regular payroll and an ACH/Direct Deposit for the July Arrears/Summer Savings payroll.
Please be aware of these circumstances and results when inputting new ACH/Direct Deposit information for an employee paid on both a Regular and Arrears/Summer Savings payroll during the same month.
For questions about payroll ACH/Direct Deposits, please contact Richard Weger at rweger@sbceo.org<mailto:rweger@sbceo.org> or 805-964-4711 x 5242.
