The authorization to expend Other Funds (agency-generated revenue from fees for services) and Federal Funds is included in each agency’s budget during the appropriations process. During a fiscal year, an agency may determine it needs an increase in Other Funds or Federal Funds authorization over and above what was included in the Appropriations Act that cannot be addressed by transferring existing authority from another program in their budget.

Proviso 93.13 states “The Executive Budget Office (EBO) is authorized to approve agency requests for federal and other fund authorization adjustments.  Requests will be approved and reported by the Executive Budget Office pursuant to Chapter 65, Title 2, the "South Carolina Federal and Other Funds Oversight Act".

After consulting with its budget analyst, an agency may complete the required budget entry in SCEIS and one of the following:

• BD-100 which is to be used when requesting Federal Funds
• BD-101 which is to be used when requesting Other Funds

EBO reports this information quarterly to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
