Supplemental Appropriation - HMSV - Time Study

HB 3362 increases funding for five existing West Virginia Department of Human Services (DHS) social services divisions by supplementing their current fiscal year 2025 budget allocations. It adds money to specific lines for the Office of the Commissioner, Child Protective Services Case Workers, Social Services Case Workers, Adult Protective Services Case Workers, and Youth Service Case Workers. The bill uses unappropriated surplus funds from the State Fund, General Revenue, to boost their budgets without creating new programs or changing eligibility. This is a routine budget adjustment, not a policy change, affecting DHS staff and the services they provide.
