Summary
Medford Township, Burlington County, State ID NJ130, has filed a settlement report with the Department of Human Services for every year from FY2023 to FY2026. Each report certifies that the Township spent nothing. Each report from FY2024 on answers No to funding any program.
The Township produced two prints from its financial system, both dated 06/04/2026. One is the Budget Detail Inquiry for its settlement appropriation line, G-02-41-879-000-000. The other is the Revenue Detail Inquiry for its settlement revenue account, G-02-10-879-000. Together they show every dollar that came in and every dollar the Township made available to spend. Neither shows a payment out.
The prints confirm the 0.00 spent. They do not confirm the money on hand. Three reports, FY2024 to FY2026, certify 23,236.55 the books do not show.
What the Township received
The revenue account posts each deposit on the day the Township recorded it. By the State's fiscal year, which runs 07/01 to 06/30, the deposits are these.
| Fiscal year | Deposits | Amount | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2023 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| FY2024 | 8 | 119,155.72 | 119,155.72 |
| FY2025 | 6 | 38,192.75 | 157,348.47 |
| FY2026, to 06/04/2026 | 8 | 52,829.82 | 210,178.29 |
The first four deposits all posted on 08/25/2023. Three are labeled as settlement payments of 01/03/2023, 01/31/2023 and 06/16/2023. They total 24,309.41. The fourth is labeled 08/02/2023.
No interest posts to the revenue account. The reports certify 294.24 of interest for FY2025 and 1,490.94 for FY2026. This project cannot test those figures from the record.
What it spent
Nothing. The appropriation line carries six budget entries from 05/20/2023 to 12/16/2025, one adopted budget figure each year and four Chapter 159 resolutions. They total 229,786.81. The line prints no expenditure, purchase order or journal through 06/04/2026. This project classifies no payment as conforming, non-conforming or unverified, because none exists.
The reports describe what the Township considered. The FY2025 report says the Police Department asked to use the money to restart the LEAD program and the Fire and EMS Department asked for equipment for its ambulances. The FY2026 report says no formal decisions have been made and that the Township is considering stretchers for its EMS personnel.
What it told the State
| Report | Received in the year | Interest | Received since 2022 | Spent | On hand |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2023 | 23,236.55 | 0.00 | |||
| FY2024 | 119,155.72 | 0.00 | 142,392.27 | 0.00 | 142,392.27 |
| FY2025 | 38,192.75 | 294.24 | 180,879.26 | 0.00 | 157,642.71 |
| FY2026 | 55,016.11 | 1,490.94 | 237,386.31 | 0.00 | 237,386.31 |
The FY2023 form asked for funds received and expended as of 06/30/2023 and had no question on funds on hand. Every report says the Township did not transfer its funds to the county. None reports a strategic plan.
What the records show
The FY2023 report certifies 23,236.55 received as of 06/30/2023. No cash had reached the revenue account by then. The first deposit is dated 08/25/2023. The 23,236.55 is the figure the Township entered in its 2023 adopted budget on 05/20/2023.
The FY2024 report certifies 119,155.72 received from 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024. That is every deposit from 08/25/2023 to 06/24/2024, to the cent. It already includes the payments the FY2023 report had counted. The FY2024 report then adds the FY2023 figure on top and certifies 142,392.27 received since 2022. It certifies the same 142,392.27 on hand. The same 23,236.55 is counted twice. With nothing spent, the Township could not hold more than the 119,155.72 it had received. Certified 23,236.55 more on hand than it had received.
The FY2025 report shows 157,642.71 on hand. That is the 157,348.47 deposited through 06/30/2025 plus the 294.24 of interest the report certifies. It leaves the extra 23,236.55 out. The received figure on the same page, 180,879.26, keeps it. Every report certifies 0.00 spent, so the two figures should match. They differ by 23,236.55. FY2025 report contradicts itself by 23,236.55.
The FY2026 report certifies 55,016.11 received, 1,490.94 of interest and 0.00 spent. It certifies 237,386.31 on hand. That is 157,642.71 plus 55,016.11 plus 1,490.94 plus 23,236.55. On hand rose 79,743.60 in a year the same report says brought in 56,507.05 and spent nothing. The two on hand figures cannot both be true. The difference is the 2023 budget figure, whose money is already in the cash. Counted 23,236.55 twice in its money on hand.
What remains open
The FY2026 report certifies 55,016.11 received in the year. The revenue account shows 52,829.82 through 06/04/2026. The prints end on 06/04/2026, so the remaining 2,186.29 cannot be tested from this record.
The interest the reports certify does not appear on either print. A record of where the interest is held would let this project test it.
How this project classifies spending is set out in the methodology and the rubric. Corrections follow the corrections policy.
