6.0 FUNDING TECHNIQUES

6.1 General Terms

6.1.1 The State shall request Federal funds in accordance with the appropriate cut-off times shown in Exhibit I to ensure

funds will be received and credited to a State account by the times specified in the funding techniques. Exhibit I is

incorporated by reference herein.

6.1.2 The State shall schedule the receipt of Federal funds such that the funds are received and credited to a State

account in accordance with the clearance patterns specified in Exhibit II - List of State Clearance Patterns. Exhibit II is

incorporated by reference herein.

6.1.3 In instances where the receipt of funds is scheduled for a Saturday, the State shall request funds for deposit on

Friday. In instances where the receipt of funds is scheduled for a Sunday, the State shall request funds for deposit on

Monday. In instances where the receipt of Federal funds is scheduled for deposit on a day when the State is not open for

business, the State shall request funds for deposit the day following the scheduled day; in instances where the receipt of

Federal funds is scheduled for deposit on a day when the Federal Government is not open for business, the State shall

request funds for deposit the day prior to the scheduled day.

6.1.4 Estimates and Reconciliation of Estimates:

Where estimated expenditures are used to determine the amount of the drawdown, the State will indicate in the terms of

the State unique funding technique how the estimated amount is determined and when and how the State will reconcile

the difference between the estimate and the State's actual expenditures.

6.1.5 Supplemental Funding:

Unless otherwise defined by program rules, Supplemental Funding is the award of additional funds to provide for an

increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances.

The State will comply with all Federal program agency policies and procedures for requesting supplemental grant funding.

The State will comply with the following guidelines when requesting supplemental funding for the Medical Assistance

Program and associated administrative payments (CFDA 93.778):

The State must submit a revised Medicaid Program Budget Report (CMS-37) to request supplemental funding. The CMS

guidelines and instructions for completing the CMS-37 are provided in Section 2600F of the State Medicaid Manual

(SMM). The CMS/CO must receive the revised Form CMS-37 through the Medicaid Budget Expenditure

System/Children's Budget Expenditure System (MBES/CBES) no later than 10 calendar days before the end of the

quarter for which the supplemental grant award is being requested.

Additional guidance on this policy is available from the respective CMS Regional Office, U.S. Department of Health &

Human Services.

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):

Page 3 of 25
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 Issuance of Payments:

A State Attorney General's opinion, dated February 10, 1992, addresses certain issues dealing with implementation of the

Act. The Attorney General has concluded that funds must be on deposit prior to the issuance of payments. Therefore,

the State shall use various funding techniques, including Pre-Issuance Funding, Average Clearance, and Estimated

Clearance. Some programs may utilize more than one technique. 

The State and Fiscal Service agree that the Pre-Issuance Funding technique will be used as little as possible. The

Attorney General's opinion requires that the State apply Pre-Issuance to a limited number of programs. The State intends

to use an Estimated Clearance or Average Clearance Funding technique to the extent that State funds are available to

draw the check or warrant against. When State funds are not available, the State shall switch to the Pre-Issuance Funding

technique. These programs are described in section 6.3. Each State entity shall be responsible for determining when this

switch is to take place. The Pre-Issuance funding technique is not interest neutral.

Page 4 of 25
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.

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited by ACH on the dollar-weighted average day of clearance for

the disbursement, in accordance with the clearance pattern specified in Exhibit II. The request shall be made in

accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit I. The amount of the request shall be for

the exact amount of that disbursement. This funding technique is interest neutral.

Composite Clearance

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited on the dollar-weighted average number of days required for

funds to be paid out for a series of disbursements, in accordance with the clearance pattern specified in Exhibit II. The

request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit I. The amount of

the request shall be the sum of the payments issued in the series of disbursements. This funding technique is interest

neutral.

Estimated Clearance

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited in a State account in accordance with the clearance pattern

specified in Exhibit II - EC (Estimated Clearance). The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal

agency cut-off time specified in Exhibit I. The amount of each request will be a percentage of the disbursement, according

to the State's clearance pattern specified in Exhibit II - EC. This funding technique is interest neutral.

Post-Issuance

The State shall request funds such that they are deposited in a State account after the State issues checks, but before the

checks clear. The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in

Exhibit I. The amount of the request shall be the amount of the disbursement. 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.

Cost Allocation Plans - Estimated Allocation - Monthly

The State shall request funds once a month, such that they are deposited on the median day of the month, to fund the

costs incurred during that month. The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off

time specified in Exhibit I. The amount of the request shall be an estimate based on the actual allocation of costs to the

program for the preceding six months. This funding technique is interest neutral.

Page 5 of 25
Cost Allocation Plans - Monthly

The State shall request funds once a month, such that they are deposited on the median day of the month, to fund activity

of the prior month. The request shall be made in accordance with the appropriate Federal agency cut-off time specified in

Exhibit I. The amount of the request for a given month's activity shall be based on actual costs distributed in accordance

with the State's approved cost allocation plan. This funding technique is interest neutral.

10.561 State Administrative Matching Grants for Food Stamp Program

17.225F Unemployment Insurance-Federal Benefit Account and Administrative Costs

17.225S Unemployment Insurance-State Benefit Account

93.558 State Family Assistance Grant

93.658 Foster Care - Title IV-E

93.767 State Children's Insurance Program

93.778 Medical Assistance Program

Page 12 of 25
7.2 The following shall develop the State's clearance patterns:

The agencies administering the Federal programs shall develop the State's clearance patterns, or use an alternative as

outlined in Section 7.3.

7.3 The sources of data the State shall use when developing its clearance patterns are as follows:

Agency accounting records, State treasury records, banking records and other records appropriate.

For Programs where the actual State warrant clearance information is not available, alternate methods of developing

clearance patterns shall be used. These other methods shall consist of the clearance patterns developed by Fiscal

Service or use of valid statistical sampling techniques.

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.

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:

N/A

The State shall also adjust each clearance pattern to reflect:

N/A

7.8 Each of the State's clearance patterns is calculated in business 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.

Page 13 of 25
7.10 The State shall follow the procedures of 31 CFR 205 if it has actual or constructive knowledge, at any time, that a

clearance pattern does not correspond to a program's clearance activity.

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, ZBA - ACH

Actual Clearance, ZBA-ACH (Modified)

Average Clearance

Composite Clearance

Cost Allocation Plans - Estimated Allocation - Monthly

Cost Allocation Plans - Monthly

Direct Administrative Costs - Drawdowns on a Payroll Cycle

Estimated Clearance

Estimated Clearance (Truncated)

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

8.2 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 all 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

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

the Federal percentage of the disbursement.

8.2.4 Average Clearance

For all transactions where the State pays out its own funds for program purposes prior to receiving Federal funds, the

Federal interest liability shall be based on the difference in whole days between the average date of clearance for a

Page 14 of 25
disbursement, as specified in Exhibit II, and the date the related Federal funds are credited to a State account. 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 Funds Interest Neutral, State Funds not:

The State shall use the following methodology to calculate State interest liabilities on funds withdrawn from the State's

account in the UTF under the Unemployment Insurance program.

Based on statements provided by its financial institution (or other appropriate sources), the State shall determine the

actual interest earnings and the related banking costs attributable to funds withdrawn from its account in the UTF. At the

end of the State's fiscal year, the State shall calculate the percentage of its total unemployment compensation

expenditures for (1) funds withdrawn from the State account in the UTF, or the State %, and (2) funds withdrawn from the

Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) and the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account (EUCA)

and any other accounts of Federal funds in the UTF, or the Federal %.

The actual interest earnings of the benefit payment account on the whole constitute the actual interest earnings

attributable to funds withdrawn from the State's account in the UTF, since the State shall apply an appropriate interest

neutral funding technique, to funds withdrawn from the FECA and EUCA and any other benefit accounts of Federal funds

in the UTF from which the State draws.

The State shall calculate the related banking costs attributable to funds withdrawn from the State's account in the UTF by

multiplying the State % by the amount of the related banking costs of the benefit payment account as a whole. The

State's liability for interest on funds withdrawn from its account in the UTF shall consist of the actual interest earnings of

the benefit payment account on the whole less the related banking costs attributed to such funds.

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

refund is offset against a subsequent deposit of Federal funds.

Page 15 of 25
8.4.4 Refunds Deposited to Non-Interest Neutral Programs - Part of Liability Captured Under State's Pre-Issuance

Calculation:

With programs to which Pre-Issuance funding is applied, the State interest liability, payment subject to lawfully available

funds, 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 will be calculated using the information recorded in a separate account. Interest on

refunds during period 2 will be captured under the State method for calculating interest under pre-issuance funding.

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 credited to a State's account and the date those funds are debited from the State's account.

8.6.2.2 Source of Data

Bank or Agency:

The time period from deposit to clearance shall be determined from information captured by agency accounting records,

State Treasury records, banking records, and other records as appropriate.

8.6.2.3 Standards Applied

Census (Average Daily Balance):

The average daily cash balance of Federal Funds in the program's account reflects the actual activity of each draw from

the date of deposit to the date of issuance or clearance, whichever is pertinent.

Page 16 of 25
8.6.2.4 Calculation Procedure

Average Daily Balance:

I = ADB x R, where

I = 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

8.6.7 Agencies not using the model in Sections 8.6.2 through 8.6.5, due to either cost/benefit or administrative capability

considerations, shall calculate interest using appropriate statistical sampling methodology. The sampling populations

shall include individual programs or logical groups of programs. The State shall conduct statistical sampling in

accordance with 31 CFR Part 205.19 of the regulations.

9.0 REVERSE FLOW PROGRAMS

The State is not required to cover any reverse flow programs under the terms of this Agreement because the State does

not participate in the program.

10.0 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:

Prorated portion of consultant's contract related to development of clearance patterns and interest calculation

methodologies. 

Agency and State Treasury personnel time to calculate clearance patterns and interest. 

Agency and State Treasury EDP costs (not including system upgrades) incurred in the calculation of clearance patterns

and interest.

Other costs identified that qualify under 31 CFR 205.27.

10.3 The State shall submit all claims for reimbursement of interest calculation costs with its Annual Report in accordance

with 31 CFR 205.

11.0 NON-COMPLIANCE

11.1 The provisions of 31 CFR Part 205.29 and 31 CFR Part 205.30 shall apply in cases of non-compliance with the

terms of this Agreement.
