Gov. Jay Nixon deposited over 223 million dollars of federal stimulus money into a newly created bank account in the State Treasury.

In order to house this check and any other upcoming federal funds, Nixon created two bank accounts to separate the new dollars from the old. 

The money  is a reimbursement for Medicaid expenses from October 2008 until February of this year, although it has yet to be designated for that purpose.

The funds could be sitting there for a while--until legislators decide how to spend it for the next fiscal year.
