This results in a cost to OPM of up to $200,000 beginning in FY 25 for two additional staff and a cost of $82,300 beginning in FY 25 to the Office 1 The fringe benefit costs for most state employees are budgeted centrally in accounts administered by the Comptroller. The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost associated with most personnel changes is 41.25% of payroll in FY 25. 2024SB-00432-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2 of the State Comptroller for associated fringe benefits. The bill also requires private provider organizations to receive payment within 45 days after the receipt of a claim, or receipt of services, whichever is later. This is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact to the state. Senate "A" alters the original bill by moving out the date of one of the reports required by OPM, reduces the number of contracts OPM must review each year, removes various other requirements, and requiring private providers to receive payment within 45 days of a claim. The Out Years The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to inflation.
