Nevada Revised Statutes Title 31. Public Financial Administration § 353.097. Stale Claims Account; approval and payment of stale claims; payment of certain late claims for medical expenses

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. As used in this section, “stale claim” means any claim which is presented by a state agency to the State Board of Examiners:

(a) If the claim was eligible to be paid from money that was appropriated, after the date on which it is provided by law that money appropriated to that state agency for the previous fiscal year reverts to the fund from which appropriated; or

(b) If the claim was eligible to be paid from money that was authorized, after the last day of the fiscal year in which that state agency was authorized to expend the money.

2. There is hereby created a Stale Claims Account in the State General Fund. Money for the Account must be provided by direct legislative appropriation.

3. Upon the approval of a stale claim pursuant to subsection 4, the claim must be paid from the Stale Claims Account. Payments of such stale claims for a state agency must not exceed:

(a) If the claim was eligible to be paid from money that was appropriated, the amount of money reverted to the fund from which appropriated by the state agency for the fiscal year in which the obligations represented by the stale claims were incurred; or

(b) If the claim was eligible to be paid from money that was authorized, the balance on the last day of the fiscal year of money that the state agency was authorized to expend during the fiscal year.

4. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a stale claim must be approved for payment from the Stale Claims Account by the State Board of Examiners. The State Board of Examiners may authorize its Clerk or a person designated by the Clerk, under such circumstances as it deems appropriate, to approve stale claims on behalf of the Board. A state agency that is aggrieved by a determination of the Clerk or the person designated by the Clerk to deny all or any part of a stale claim may appeal that determination to the State Board of Examiners.

5. A stale claim may be approved and paid at any time, despite the age of the claim, if payable from available federal grants or from a permanent fund in the State Treasury other than the State General Fund.

6. A state agency may pay from the appropriate budget account in the current fiscal year a stale claim of the state agency which is:

(a) Less than $100;

(b) For medical expenses pursuant to a claim from a third-party administrator; or

(c) For payroll expenses.
