projected for the year, and the anticipated amount of any increase in payments made

shall inform the office of any amount of uncompensated care which the Department of

assistance to families' patients. If during the course of a fiscal year the Secretary of the
Office of Policy and Management determines that these amounts should be revised, said
secretary shall so notify the office and the office may modify its calculation pursuant
to section 19a-671 to reflect such revision and its orders as it deems appropriate and
the Commissioner of Social Services may modify said commissioner's determination
pursuant to section 19a-671.
