The SFA is one of the three principals (along with the House Fiscal Agency and the Department of Treasury) in the Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference. The Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference estimates the revenue available for the General Fund and the School Aid Fund; and, with the State Budget Office, provides pupil estimates used in the School Aid budget and caseload and cost estimates for the Department of Health and Human Services. As part of its role in the consensus process, the SFA prepares its own economic and revenue forecast, as well as pupil and caseload estimates.
