We receive some funding from both the state Legislature and the federal government.
There are two Washington State Funds that support our program:
- State General Fund—(This is an appropriation from the Legislature)
- 01-F Fund—(This is a dedicated fund from inmate phone fees)
Federal grant funds come from the U.S. Department of Justice. They reimburse 75% of net payments from state funds three years earlier.
Administrative costs are paid out of the state General Fund. Claim benefits are paid from all three funds (State General Fund, 01-F and Federal Grant).
