Part X, Line 2: On April 1, 2009 LSSS adopted the provision under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. LSSS evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any exist, under this provision. LSSS accounts for uncertainty of income taxes based on a "more-likely-than-not" threshold for the recognition and de-recognition of tax positions, which includes the accounting for interest and penalties relating to tax positions. At the adoption, there was no liability for uncertain tax positions due to the fact that LSSS's federal income tax status was not considered an uncertain tax position. LSSS currently does not have any tax positions that it would consider uncertain at March 31, 2015.

The amount of payment is set by the state and is based on the level of care needed for the child. LSSS also receives a reimbursement for these payments in an amount also approved by the state. A reconciliation process between the state and LSSS occurs each time reimbursement is submitted. If LSSS records do not tie to the state's, LSSS works diligently with the state to resolve any discrepancies as they occur, on a monthly basis. In addition, all foster parents are licensed by the state and credentials are routinely reviewed by LSSS to make certain the foster parent families stay in compliance. Post Adoption Residential Treatment - Adoptive families will contact the state and submit an application for assistance for the adoptive child. The state then contacts LSSS to provide these services since we hold the state contract for Region III and Region VII. We provide a monthly invoice with associated expense backup to the state for their reimbursement. The contract also requires an annual monitoring report. Foster Parent Payments - ORR - Each foster parent receives payment for expenses incurred for the care of foster children in their home. The amount of payment is set by the Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR). LSSS will be reimbursed this amount plus an administration fee as approved by the ORR. In addition, all foster parents are licensed by the state and credentials are routinely reviewed by LSSS to make certain the foster parent families stay in compliance. Allowances - Each child in care in the Office of Refugee and Resettlement program receives $1/day for each day they are at the facility. Upon discharge, the child is then paid the balance in their account. A report is filed quarterly with Health and Human Services reporting expenses incurred on the program. For the RTC programs, each child can receive an allowance for good behavior. They can use this allowance for special events with the balance paid out to them upon discharge. A reconciliation is kept for each child showing the amounts earned and paid out. In addition, the child will sign off on any amounts they receive. Foster Children Camp Registration and Activity Supplies - Families who wish to apply for these funds will fill out an information form providing the child's information and detail of need. Once approved, the funds used must be backed up by registration and/or receipt for the activity/supply. Emergency Assistance - All clients must go through a screening process that shows disparities between household income and expenses. Additionally, we participate in a web-based program called Charity Tracker that shows when clients are continually going from agency to agency for food, utility payments and other services. This tool allows us to weed out the habitual abusers of resources or in some cases, address issues that keep the clients from being able to meet their own obligations and make the appropriate referrals. Food Assistance - EFSP funds are distributed in two equal payments, one at the beginning of the grant period and the other upon request, but no later than July. There is a simple one-page report that goes in monthly to the local United Way and a final report that goes to the National Board. Periodically, the National Board will require all documentation from a given agency to support the use of EFSP funds for the grant phase. In addition, each year families are given Thanksgiving meal baskets. Selection is limited to the first 100 families who submit their names for the assistance. Utility Assistance - CEAP funds are disbursed following the receipt of a monthly report and Request For Funds. The RFF includes client utility payments for two components (Elderly/Disabled and Energy Crisis), as well as program costs allowed. Monitors from TDHCA visit each program receiving CEAP funds on an annual basis. They compare client files to monthly reports and check copies to each utility vendor. Atmos Share the Warmth and SPEC Roundup funds are not grant-related. However, we screen for these funds just like any other assistance. SPEC dollars are a set amount that we receive and report about on a quarterly basis. Atmos funds come in sporadically and, until this year, only reported on an annual basis. Beginning January 2010, we began reporting on a monthly basis. Prescription Assistance - This grant covers monthly glucose test strip purchases for very impoverished female clients for one year. Each client will fill out an application to receive the assistance. The grant required an interim and final report. Adoption Fee Asssistance - This program subsidizes fees for adoptive families who demonstrate a financial need. BeREAL (Ready, Educated, Accomplished Leaders) Assistance - This program provides assistance for youth ages 13-25 aging out of Louisiana's foster care system. It provides support needed to help them succeed as they make the transition to college and the next chapters of their lives. These youth face a bleak future without support, life skills, and permanent connections. BeREAL was created to bridge this gap, with the help and one-on-one involvement of community volunteers and mentors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 LSSS reviews annually the compensation of its CEO, officers, top executives and key individuals. They use non-profit salary-compensation data to evaluate and set their salary grade system of all employees. LSSS uses the following process to establish the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer: The Chair of the board of directors, on an annual basis, appoints a Personnel Committee, comprised of five members of the board of directors. None of these members has a "conflict of interest" as defined in the instructions to Part VI, Form 990. The Personnel Committee voted unanimously to approve the compensation arrangements. The details of such arrangements are also shared with the full board of directors. The committee uses a wide range of data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations in establishing compensation for the CEO. This data includes not-for-profit organizations, including other Lutheran organizations, charities, foundations, associations, higher education, governmental, and health care services. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 LSSS makes it governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
