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

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

DocuSign Envelope ID: 5360953A-6721-4D9A-851D-681E8870EB28
Page 4 of 14

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.

7.0 CLEARANCE PATTERNS

DocuSign Envelope ID: 5360953A-6721-4D9A-851D-681E8870EB28
Page 7 of 14

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

The State shall use program specific methodology to develop program specific clearance patterns for all programs.

7.2 The following shall develop the State's clearance patterns:

The Division of Information Technology within the Department of Administration shall provide all the data used in the determination of 

the appropriate clearance patterns.

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

The State's central and subsidiary accounting systems which contain the "check date" data, and the State's depository banks, at which 

demand deposit (checking) accounts are maintained, from which federal grant programs disbursements are made, will provide a 

computer tape of disbursements from the State's bank accounts to identify the date of withdrawal of funds for each check.

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:

None

The State shall also adjust each clearance pattern to reflect:

None

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 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.

Page 8 of 14

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

Average Clearance

Bi-weekly 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

8.2 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:

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.

8.3 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 Interest Neutral:

There are no interest earnings on funds withdrawn from the State account, as the State has implemented estimated clearance, an interestneutral funding technique, for such transfers. For transfers from the UTF that do not follow the technique specified in section 6.2 and 

result in a positive balance of funds in a State account, 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 pro-rata share 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

DocuSign Envelope ID: 5360953A-6721-4D9A-851D-681E8870EB28
Page 9 of 14

(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.

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

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

Central Accounting System:

The time period from the date federal funds are deposited to the date checks are issued shall be determined from 

information captured by state's central accounting system.

8.6.2.3 Standards Applied

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.

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

9.0 REVERSE FLOW PROGRAMS

DocuSign Envelope ID: 5360953A-6721-4D9A-851D-681E8870EB28
Page 10 of 14

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:

1) Personal services costs at the central service and State agency levels.

2) Computer programming costs to extract interest calculation data from the accounting system and to develop interest calculation 

reports.

3) Computer programming costs to extract payment data from the accounting system and to develop check clearance patterns.

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.
