238	238	METHODOLOGY:
239	239
240	240	This bill allocates $11,228,839 in each year of the FY26/27 biennium to counties, to be allocated based on each county's share of overpayments for long-term care services in FY20 and FY21. While the bill does not contain specific appropriation language, the bill effectively requires general fund appropriations of the specified amount, which will in turn be received by the counties as revenue.
