8.0 INTEREST CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
8.1 General Terms

8.1.1 The State and the Secretary agree that no interest liabilities will be incurred for transfers of funds made in
accordance with the procedures specified in section 6 of this Agreement where the following funding techniques are
applied:

Actual Clearance ~ Direct Draw

Actual Clearance, ZBA - Same Day Payment
Average Clearance

Fee for Services Rendered

Indirect Cost Rates - Actual Base Quarterly
Payment Schedule

Prorated Draw - Medical Assistance - EFT
Prorated Draw - Unemployment Insurance
Prorated Draws

8.1.2 The State shall maintain information on disbursements and receipts of funds to verify the implementation of any
funding technique and document interest liabilities.

For each disbursement, the State shall be able to identify:

(1) amount of the issuance

(2) date of issuance

(3) date Federal funds are received and credited to a State account

(4) amount of Federal funds received

(5) date funds were requested

8.1.3 Leave pools and reserve funds. Federal funds drawn down by the State on an accrual basis for future or
contingency needs, as in the case of self-insurance reserve funds or accrued employee leave, will be excluded from
interest liability calculation and reporting set forth in this Agreement and in 31 CFR Part 205.27. Interest earned by the
State on such funds will be treated as an applicable credit, as defined in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87,
and will be used to reduce expense items allocable to grants as direct or indirect costs. (The State Department of
Transportation (DOT) does not charge Federal grants directly for pald vacation and sick leave taken by employees
working on Federal projects. Instead, DOT develops a usage rate to establish a cost pool to charge employee paid leave
time to Federal programs and other funding sources).

8.2 Federal Interest Liabilities

8.2.1 A Federal interest liability shall accrue from the day the State pays out its own funds for program purposes to the
day Federal funds are credited to a State account. With regard to funds transferred out of the Federal Highway Trust
Fund, if a State does not bill at least weekly for current project costs, the Federal interest liability shall not accrue prior to
the day the State submits a request for funds.

8.2.2 The State shall use the following method to calculate Federal interest liabilities:

Actual Activity:

For ail transactions where the State pays out its own funds for program purposes prior to receiving Federal funds, the
State shall track each payment from the date it is paid out of a State account to the date Federal funds are subsequently
credited to a State account to cover that outlay. The Federal interest liability on each payment shall be based on the

Page 14 of 23


from CORE-CT. These reports are generated from the central computer system job streams which record the
expenditures for which checks are being generated, banking activity is being initiated, or internal accounting activity is
being recorded. The agency shall receive a report detailing the necessary clearance patterns required under this
agreement. The agency shall receive instructions on the funding methods to be used for each program covered under this
agreement. Instructions shall be issued on how to construct a Federal draw amount using these factors and reports. The
State agency shall maintain detail records suitable for audit in which each component of the drawdown shall be
referenced in the drawing agency fo the approved funding technique for that component (estimated clearance, average
clearance, etc.) in this Agreement, Where necessary, State agencies will maintain for audit the reconciliations between
their accounting records and CORE-CT.

6.1.8 Payments of Federal funds to vendor State agencies for goods or services rendered, including payments into
internal service funds or enterprise funds within the State's CAFR, are considered to be paid out for program purposes
pursuant to 31 CFR Part 205.2.

6.1.9 Transfers of expenditures between State agencies shall be drawn on the day immediately subsequent to the agency
being notified of its posting on the CORE-CT accounting system.

6.2 Description of Funding Techniques

6.2.1 The following are terms under which standard funding techniques shall be implemented for all transfers of funds to
which the funding technique is applied in section 6.3.2 of this Agreement.

Actual Clearance, ZBA - Same Day Payment

The State shall request funds the same day it pays out funds, in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off
time specified in Exhibit |. A Federal agency will deposit funds in a State account the same day as requested, The amount
of the request shall be for the amount of funds that clear the State's account that day. This funding technique is interest
neutral,

the disbursement, in accordance with the clearance pattern specified in Exhibit Il. The request shall be made in
accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit |. The amount of the request shall be for
the exact amount of that disbursement. This funding technique is interest neutral.

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited in a State account not more than three business days prior to
the day the State makes a disbursement. The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency
cut-off time specified in Exhibit |. The amount of the request shall be the amount the State expects to disburse. This
funding technique is not interest neutral.

6.2.2 The following are terms under which funding techniques for administrative costs shall be implemented for all
transfers of funds to which the funding technique is applied in section 6.3.2 of this Agreement.

There are no funding techniques listed in Section 6.2.3

6.2.4 The following are terms under which State unique funding techniques shall be implemented for all transfers of funds
to which the funding technique is applied in section 6.3.2 of this Agreement.

Actual Clearance - Direct Draw

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited by ACH in a State account one day after the date that agency
to agency transfer expenditures are posted by a State agency in the Comptroller's accounts. The request shall be made
in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit 1. This funding technique Is interest
neutral.

Fee for Services Rendered

This program's administrative costs are based and earned on the number of payments processed to beneficiaries. The
request and receipt of funds will coincide with the draw for the beneficiaries' portion. The request shall be made in
accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit |. This funding technique Is interest
neutral.

Indirect Cost Rates - Actual Base Quarterly

The State shall request funds once a quarter, such that they are deposited during the month following the end of the
quarter. The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit |.
The amount of the request shall be determined by applying the indirect cost rate to actual expenditures of the prior
quarter. This funding technique is interest neutral.

Payment Schedule

This funding technique applies to CFDA 93.658 only. The State shall request funds such that they are deposited in a State
account on the fifth business day following the fifteenth day of each month. The request shall be made in accordance with
the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit !, The amount of the request for funds shail be one-third of
the quarterly estimate.

The initial award for a particular quarter is based on the estimated need for that quarter. One month after the end of the
quarter, reports from providers are used to determine the actual disbursements for the quarter. The difference between
the estimate and the actual is reported as an adjustment on the submission of the next quarterly claim request. In the
event that actual disbursements exceed the estimate, the difference is expected to be awarded on the first of the month,
three months after the end of the quarter in which the expense was reported. The State is eligible to calculate a Federal
Interest liability in the event the award is not posted into the proper Connecticut Department of Children and Families
account in the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Payment Management System by the first of the month.
The accrual of interest would commence on the first of the month, three months after the end of the quarter in which the
expense was incurred until the award is posted in the Payment Management System. If the end of quarter reconciliation
reveals that the States estimate exceeded actual disbursements for the quarter, the State interest liability will accrue from
the date Federal funds were overdrawn until the date the overdraw liability is offset. This funding technique is interest
neutral.

Prorated Draw - Medical Assistance - EFT

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited by ACH ina state account on the settlement date of payments
issued by the State. The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified

amended by the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-589), codified at 31 U.S.C. 6501 and 31
U.S.C. 6503.

2.2 The regulations codified at 31 CFR Part 205 shall apply to all matters pertaining to this Agreement, and are

7.0 CLEARANCE PATTERNS

7.1 The State shall develop separate clearance patterns for each of the following:

The State shall develop clearance patterns for accounts through which Federal funds are disbursed. For the major
Federal program expenditures which flow through more than one account (e.g., a program account and the State’s payroll
or vendor accounts), the State will use the clearance patterns for each expenditure component in calculating aggregate
drawdowns of Federal funds.

The State will develop separate check clearance patterns for the following accounts:

. Payroll
. Department of Social Services (Medicaid and TANF account)
. Vendor (beneficiary payments included)

The State will use the "average daily balance" interest calculation technique in the UTF program, and thus will not
develop clearance patterns for this account.

7.2 The following shall develop the State's clearance patterns:
The Connecticut Office of the State Treasurer and Bank of America will develop the State's clearance patterns.
7.3 The sources of data the State shall use when developing its clearance patterns are as follows:

For the payroll, Department of Social Services, and vendor payments, the State provides its banks with a file of checks
issued, with issue dates and dollar amounts. Our banks then compare our issue data with their data on clearances to
determine the clearance time, or days outstanding, for each check. The banks produce check clearance reports for each
account. The reports list the number of items and dollar amounts by days of float, for those checks that clear during the
reporting period.

The banks then calculate dollar-weighted average clearance days for each account according to the following formula:

Dollar-weighted average
clearance days = Sum (Ax B)/C

where: A = Days outstanding per item
B = Item dollar amount
C= Total dollar amount cleared in Statement period.

The Department of Social Services account payroll account and vendor account clearance patterns are based on
calendar days. The vendor account clearance pattern may be adjusted to exclude certain types of payments, such as
State education grants to municipalities and tax refund payments that do not include Federal funds.

The State reserves the right to factor electronic funds transfers (EFT's) into a composite clearance pattern for accounts in
which they occur. State accounts are not program specific.

The State will comply with the following guidelines when requesting supplemental funding for TANF (CFDA 93.558),
CCDF (CFDA 93.575), CSE (93.563), and the FC/AA (CFDA 93.658 and CFDA 93.659) programs administered by the
U.S. Department of Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (HHS/ACF):

a. Timing of the Request

A State should initiate its request for supplemental funding during a quarter as soon as it becomes aware of the fact that a
shortfall does/will exist. For the TANF and CCDF grants, supplemental funding requests (estimates) may be submitted by
a State, for consideration by ACF, up through and including the 15th day of the third month of the first, second or third
quarter of any fiscal year. Since TANF and CCDF are block grant programs, all unawarded portions of the annual
allotment will automatically be issued at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Therefore, supplemental funding requests will
not be available during the fourth quarter for these programs. For the CSE and FC/AA programs, supplemental funding
requests may be submitted by a state, for consideration by ACF, up through and including the 15th day of the third month
of any quarter of a fiscal year.

b. Justification for the Request

The request for a supplemental funding for any of the above mentioned programs should contain a justification clearly
documenting the need for the additional funding authority during the current quarter. This documentation should be in the
form of State accounting records or similar documents that will show the actual expenditures through the most recent
month for which such data are available, as well as the State's most accurate projection of its anticipated expenditures
during the remaining month(s) of the quarter. For either the TANF or the CCDF program, the State's justification should
also include an explanation of the activities requiring the obligation and/or expenditure of amounts that exceed the normal
quarterly grant award restrictions and why these activities could not have been delayed until the next quarter.

c. Form Submittal
Supplemental funding requests should be made by completing the appropriate ACF quarterly report of expenditures and
estimates applicable to the particular program for which the grant award request is being made.

d. Approval Process

Upon receipt of the state's request for additional funding authority for a quarter, the ACF Regional Office will promptly
review the supporting documentation. If the request is properly justified, so long as ACF has adequate funding
availability, the State's request will be expedited and supplemental funding will be issued within 5 days of ACF receiving
the request. The State will be notified by the Regional Office when the supplemental award has been transmitted to the
Payment Management System (PMS) and when it may initiate drawdowns against the supplemental funding.

Additional guidance on this policy is provided in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Administration for
Children and Families, letter (May 19, 2004) to State Administrators from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Administration.

6.1.6 The processes described in Section 6.1.5 pertains to the State agency receiving the supplemental award during the
current quarter and do not preclude the State from seeking reconciliation awards pursuant to the normal reconciliation
process between the estimated and actual expenditures subsequent to the conclusion of a quarter. (This section provides
a means of seeking reconciliation awards after a quarter ends as part of the normal reconciliation process comparing
estimated and actual expenditures).

6.1.7 Federal cash draws for programs covered in this agreement shall be based upon actual transactions processed
through the CORE-CT accounting system. These transactions shall be reported to the State agency by reports generated

difference in whole days between the two events. With Federal-State matching programs, interest shall be calculated on
the Federal percentage of the disbursement.

8.3 The Unemployment Trust Fund

8.3.1 The State shall use the following method to calculate State interest liabilities on funds withdrawn from the several
accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund:

Federal and State Funds are Not Interest Neutral:

UTF activity (Federal and State accounts) shall be recorded and reported on by the Connecticut Department of Labor.
The Department shall follow the Federal draw procedures, record keeping and reporting requirements agreed to with the
Federal Department of Labor.

Because State and Federal Unemployment Insurance Program (CFDA #17.225) expenditures are commingled in the
same bank account, the State shall use the following method to calculate the interest liabilities: The State shall calculate
the ratio of the average daily cash balances for State funds and Federal funds (includes the Federal Employees
Compensation Account, Extended Unemployment Compensation Account, and the Federal Unemployment Benefits
Account). Monthly, the State shall determine the percentage of Federal benefits paid, which shall be applied to determine
the average daily balance of Federal dollars in the account. The result shall be deducted from the daily deposits of
Federal dollars to determine the daily average balance of bank balances for Federal programs for that month. An annual
average of daily balances of Federal dollars shall be deducted from total average bank balances to establish the State
and Federal percentages.

Based on Statements provided by its financial institution the State shall determine the actual interest earnings and related
banking costs for the unemployment compensation account. The State will apply the State and Federal percentages
derived from the above formula to determine the actual interest earnings and bank costs attributable to each program.
The State's liability for interest on funds withdrawn from its account in the UTF shall consist of actual interest earnings
attributable to such funds less related banking costs. The State's liability for interest on funds withdrawn from FECA,
EUCA, and FUBA funds in the UTF shall be the average daily cash balance of Federal funds multiplied by the Treasury
Bill rate provided by the Fiscal Service.

8.4 Refund Liabilities

8.4.1 The State shall be liable for interest on refunds from the date the refund is credited to a State account until the date
the refund is debited from the State account for program purposes. The State shall apply a $50,000 refund transaction
threshold below which the State shall not incur or calculate interest liabilities on refunds. A transaction is defined as a
single deposit.

8.4.2 For each refund, the State shall maintain information identifying:

(1) date a refund is credited to a State account

(2) date of the subsequent deposit of Federal funds against which the refund is offset
(3) amount of the refund

8.4.3 The State shall use the following methodology to calculate interest liabilities on refunds:

Refunds Deposited to Interest Neutral Programs:
With programs to which applicable interest neutral funding techniques are applied, the State interest liability shall be
based on the difference in whole days between the date the refund is deposited in a State account and the date the

Page 15 of 23


confidence interval no wider than + 0.3 dollar-weighted days about the estimated mean.

For each check in the sample population, the State shall:

1 subtract the deposit date from the issuance date

2 multiply the difference of step 1 by the check amount

3 divide the product of step 2 by the total amount of funds drawn in the sample to determine the dollar-weighted pre-
issuance time for that check

The State shall then sum the dollar-weighted pre-issuance time for each check to arrive at the total dollar-weighted
average pre-issuance time to be used for calculating State interest liabilities.

8.6.2.4 Calculation Procedure

Average Daily Balance:
1 = ADB x R, where

| = State's total interest liability
ADB = Average Daily Balance of cash in a program's account, measured from deposit to clearance

R = Annualized rate equal to the average equivalent yields of 13-week Treasury bills auctioned during a State's fiscal year

9.0 REVERSE FLOW PROGRAMS

The State is not required to cover any reverse flow programs under the terms of this Agreement because the program
falls below the State's threshold.

410.0 INTEREST CALCULATION COSTS

10.1 As set forth in 31 CFR 205.27, interest calculation costs are defined as those costs necessary for the actual
calculation of interest, including the cost of developing and maintaining clearance patterns in support of the interest
calculations. Interest calculation costs do not include expenses for normal disbursing services, such as processing of
checks or maintaining records for accounting and reconciliation of cash balances, or expenses for upgrading or
modernizing accounting systems. Interest calculation costs in excess of $50,000 in any year are not eligible for
reimbursement, unless the State provides justification with the annual report.

10.2 The State expects to incur the following types of interest calculation costs:

The State expects ICC to include:

- bank service charges and State costs for disbursement float analysis to determine clearance patterns, both initially and

annually;
- state personnel costs for development and maintenance of clearance patterns, and calculation of interest liabilities;
- costs of developing and producing databases and application programming for tracking
Federal funds for the purpose of calculating interest;
- costs of developing and producing special reports for tracking Federal funds for the
purpose of calculating interest.

The State will use actual daily clearance patterns in the development of estimated clearance patterns.
7.4 The State shall use the following methodology when developing its clearance patterns:

When developing each clearance pattern, the State shall track at least 99% of the funds disbursed, from issuance to
clearance, for a period of at least three months.

For all clearance patterns developed by statistical sampling, the State shall randomly sample checks to ensure, at a
minimum, a 95% confidence interval for a .25 weighted-day level of precision for the checks in the sample. The State
shall track at least 99% of the funds disbursed, from issuance to clearance, in the sample period.

7.5 The State shall identify for each check or warrant (hereafter, check) in the population: (1) the date the check was
released for payment; (2) the date the check was debited from the State's account, and, (3) the amount of the check.

7.6 The State shall use the following method to calculate the dollar-weighted average day of clearance:

To determine the number of days each check was outstanding (clearance time), the issue date shall be subtracted from
the date the check cleared the State's account.

To determine the percentage of the disbursement paid out each day following issuance, the amount of the checks that
clear the State's account each day shall be summed and then divided by the amount of the total disbursement.

For each day following issuance, the clearance time of the checks paid out that day shall be multiplied by the percentage
of the total disbursement those checks represent. This product is the clearance factor.

The dollar-weighted average day of clearance for the disbursement shall be determined by summing the clearance factor
of each day following the disbursement.

7.7 The State shall adjust each clearance pattern to reflect the dollar-weighted proportion of funds paid out by EFT/Direct
payroll, with the following exceptions:

All electronic funds transfers will be excluded from the banks’ check clearance calculations.
The State shall also adjust each clearance pattern to reflect:

NA

7.8 Each of the State's clearance patterns is calculated In calendar days.

7.9 An authorized State official shall certify that each clearance pattern developed by the State accurately corresponds to
the clearance activity of the programs to which it is applied. This certification shall be provided to the Fiscal Service prior
to the effective date of the Agreement. The State shall recertify its clearance patterns at least every five years.

7.10 The State shail follow the procedures of 31 CFR 205 if it has actual or constructive knowledge, at any time, thata
clearance pattern does not correspond to a program's clearance activity.

7.11 The State Auditors of Public Accounts will use the bank provided reports to audit and verify the accuracy of the
State's clearance pattern.

refund is offset against a subsequent deposit of Federal funds.

8.4.4 Each State agency shall manually, or within its agency accounting system, track and document refunds and rebates
which shall be offset against subsequent drawdowns of Federal funds, rather than returned to the Federal government.
As they are used for program purposes, WIC rebates are exempt from interest liabilities.

8.4.5 With programs to which pre-issuance funding is applied, the State interest liability shall be based on two periods: (1)
the difference in whole days between the date the refund is deposited to a state account and the date the refund is offset
against a subsequent deposit of federal funds; (2) the difference in whole days between the date the refund is offset

. against a subsequent deposit of Federal funds and the date the refund is paid out for program purposes.

Interest on refunds during period 1 shall be calculated using the information recorded in a separate account. Interest on
refunds during period 2 shall be captured under the State's method for calculating interest under pre-issuance funding, set
forth in section 8.3.1 of this Agreement. Under this method interest is calculated on totals disbursed, which includes
refunds on hand as well as amounts drawn. The reported interest liability for refunds, therefore, will reflect period 1 only.

8.5 Exemptions

8.5.1 Where more than one State agency is a recipient of Federal funds under a program, a particular State agency's
funding may be excluded from interest calculation procedures if the State agency receives an amount of funds less than 5
% of the State's threshold for major Federal assistance programs. Notwithstanding this potential exemption, however, in
no case shall less than 90% of a program's total funding be subject to interest calculation procedures.

Proration of calculations: If less than total program funding is subject to interest calculation procedures, the resulting
interest liability calculations shall be prorated to 100% of program funding.

8.6 State Interest Liabilities

8.6.1 The State shall be liable for interest on Federal funds from the date Federal funds are credited to a State account
until the date those funds are paid out for program purposes.

8.6.2 The State shall use the following method to calculate State interest liabilities on Federal funds:
8.6.2.1 Measuring Time Funds Are Held

Deposit to Clearance:
To determine the total time Federal funds are held, the State shall measure the time between the date Federal funds are
received and credit to a State's account and the date those funds are debited from the State's account.

8.6.2.2 Source of Data

Central Accounting System:
The time period from issuance of funds to the date funds are debited from the State's account shall be determined from
information captured by CORE-CT, the State's central accounting system.

8.6.2.3 Standards Applied

Statistical Sampling (Pre-Issuance):
To measure the time Federal funds are held in a State account prior to being disbursed, the State shall use statistical
sampling. The sample shall be randomly selected, and shall be of sufficient size to ensure, ata minimum, a 95%
