OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Limiting time for presentation of claims of Medicaid providers. - Department of Human Resources as administrator of Georgia’s Medicaid program (now administered by Department of Community Health) is not prohibited from limiting the time within which claims of providers of Medicaid services must be presented for payment. 1971 Op. Att’y Gen. No. 71-153. County may donate funds to be used for child day care services as part of the state’s former Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. 1975 Op. Att’y Gen. No. U75-1.

Appropriation to private day care center not operated as service for eligible children. - Since the Georgia Constitution limits county taxation and expenditures to welfare programs as provided by law, and the only welfare provided by law which may include day care services is the former Aid to Families with Dependent Children program, there would be no authority for a county to appropriate money for the private day care center which is not operated as a service for eligible children. 1975 Op. Att’y Gen. No. U75-1.
