      Opinion filed January 14, 1969.
    
    A. Currie Maimon, Claimant, pro se.
    William G. Clark, Attorney General; Etta J. Cole, Assistant Attorney General, for Respondent.
   Pezman, J.

Claimant seeks from respondent payment of the sum of $121.00 for services rendered to the Department of Children and Family Services of the State of Illinois. The complaint alleges that such demand was refused on the grounds that funds appropriated for such payment had lapsed. The parties have stipulated that claimant is entitled to the sum requested, and that, as a result of claimant’s delay in billing, payment was not made prior to the closing of the biennial appropriation.

Where a contract with the State has been (1) properly entered into; (2) services satisfactorily performed, and materials furnished in accordance with such contract ; (3) proper charges made therefor; and, (4) adequate funds were available at the time the contract was entered into, this Court will enter an award for the amount due. Gilbert Hodgman, Inc., A Corporation, vs. State of Illinois, 24 C.C.R. 509. It appears that all the requirements have been met in the instant case.

Claimant is hereby awarded the sum of $121.00.
