Expenditures made by a department, bureau, division or other unit of a
county or city for services to, on behalf of, or directly related to the
operations of a social services district, pursuant to the provisions of
this chapter or any other provision of law, may, if approved by the
department, be subject to reimbursement by the state, if and so long as
such expenditures are subject to federal reimbursement and only to the
extent of such federal reimbursement. There may be paid to each such
social services district the amount of federal funds, if any, properly

funds shall be paid from the state treasury upon the audit and warrant
of the comptroller out of funds made available therefor.

c. When the monies allotted to the state by the federal security
agency, or other authorized federal agency, for such services to social
services districts for any quarter or other authorized period shall have
been received by the department of taxation and finance, the department
shall, as soon as possible, certify to the comptroller the amount to
which each social services district is entitled for such quarter or
other authorized period and such amount shall be paid out of the state
treasury after audit by the comptroller to the respective social
services district.

3. Payment of such reimbursement from federal funds shall be made to
the fiscal officer of the social services district entitled thereto
pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or any other provision of
