(a)Line-Item Controls on Approved Budgets(1) Area agencies on aging will conform to the line-item budgets submitted and approved as part of the annual plan.(2) In instances where the original estimates are no longer realistic or when an area agency anticipates exceeding any budgetary line item by more than 10% of the total of the budgetary line item or $500, whichever is greater, it should request, before the line item is exceeded, prior approval in writing for any such expenditures from the Connecticut Department on Aging.(b)Within Line-Item Limits(1) In instances where an area agency on aging does not expect to exceed the approved budget line item, it will still be restricted on the type of expenditures it may make by line item.(2) Where there is expected to be lapsed or available funding in a line item, all additional out-of-state travel, salary increases and purchases of equipment, furnishings and property must be approved in writing by the Connecticut Department on Aging before such expenditures are incurred.Conn.
