The County's payroll reports show its Assistant Supervisor of Nurses held that title from 2023 through 2026, and that none of her pay was charged to the opioid settlement account in 2023 or 2024. On 01/02/2025 a journal described as moving her salary from Public Health to the opioid account charged the account 612.50, 20 percent of her 3,062.50 pay, and the Public Health salary account's audit trail shows the same 612.50 credited back to it. Journals on 02/27/2025 did the same for three more January and February pays, 1,821.12. From the 02/27/2025 pay the payroll report itself charges the opioid account 595.14 of her pay and the Public Health appropriation 297.57, where the pay before it charged Public Health 892.71 and the opioid account nothing. Her gross pay was 2,975.71 before and 2,975.70 after. The Public Health charge fell by exactly the amount the opioid account took on. On every pay the payroll reports charge to the opioid account through 08/27/2026, its share is 20 percent of her pay. In all, 25,012.28 of her pay was charged to the opioid account from 01/02/2025 through 08/27/2026, 2,433.62 by journal and 22,578.66 through payroll. On 07/16/2026 the County credited back 1,821.92 described as her June and early July 2026 pay. The FY2025 report to the State describes the partial salary of the Assistant Supervisor of Nurses as an administrative cost and reports 0.00 of administrative expense. Settlement money may not replace existing funding, N.J.S.A. 26:2G-39(f).
