			 definitions used in the determination of allowable costs shall be in accordance
			 with Sections 14-1.08 and 14-7.02 of the School Code [105 ILCS 5/14-1.08 and 14
			 -7.02] and applicable rules governing educational services to children with
			 disabilities, including 23 Ill. Adm. Code 226 and 401. The following shall be
			 considered allowable costs, except as excluded pursuant to Section
			 900.321
			 of this Part:

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 89 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part 900 - ILLINOIS PURCHASED CARE REVIEW BOARD › Section 900.330 - Reasonable Cost Provisions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Only
			 reasonable costs that are necessary for the accomplishment of program goals and
			 objectives shall be allowable. A cost is reasonable if, in its nature or
			 amount, it does not exceed what would be incurred by a prudent buyer under the
			 circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the costs.
			 Accordingly, the Board shall seek to approve expenditures for goods and
			 services at a cost that is as low as possible without sacrificing the quality
			 of goods or services received. Parameters for frequently incurred costs,
			 including staffing costs, will be developed by the Board based on analysis of
			 regional variations in costs for comparable services.
1) In determining allowable costs for new
			 programs (i.e., those without audited historical cost data), the Board will
			 consider the special education and related services that will be required in
			 response to the unique characteristics of the children to be served.
2) For new residential programs, allowable
			 costs may be determined based on costs approved by another child care agency of
			 the State of Illinois.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 89 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part 900 - ILLINOIS PURCHASED CARE REVIEW BOARD › Section 900.331 - Reimbursement for Allowable Costs

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 ISBE will reimburse districts for allowable costs based on the days of
			 enrollment in a program at a nonpublic school approved by ISBE or approved for
			 emergency and student-specific placement pursuant to 23 Ill. Adm. Code
			 226.330(g)
			 or (i).
b) ISBE will reimburse school districts based
			 on allowable costs approved by the Illinois Purchased Care Review Board,
			 subject to appropriation.
c) Terms
			 of enrollment shall be as contracted for by the school district.
d) ISBE will reimburse school districts for
			 room and board payments only when no other State agency is involved in the
			 placement of the child. (See Sections 14-7.02 and 14-8.01 of the School
			 Code.)
e) A school district shall
			 receive no reimbursement for any portion of an established rate that a
			 third-party payor has covered.
f)
			 Other State agencies may reimburse for costs that are otherwise
			 nonreimbursable, but their responsibility for so doing shall be limited by
			 their own rules and procedures regarding such payments. To the extent that no
			 other State agency has responsibility for these costs, parents or other
			 responsible parties will be assumed to have accepted responsibility for these
			 costs. In no event shall State agencies, parents or other parties be allowed to
			 pay for special education, related services and room and board fees in excess
			 of the costs determined allowable by the Board for a child placed only by a
			 local school district. Any such payments made by entities other than ISBE for a
			 child placed only by the local school district shall only be used to offset the
			 allowable costs for special education, related services and/or room and board
			 approved by the Board for that particular student.
g) Nothing in this Part will preclude a
			 public school district from placing a student in a program pursuant to 23 Ill.
			 Adm. Code
			 226.330(g)
			 or (i) while allowable costs are being
			 established by the Board.

The appeals process is designed to allow a provider to petition
				for an increase in its allowable costs in response to circumstances which are
				beyond the control of the provider which have an impact upon current operating
				costs and were not included in the Board's determination of the current
				allowable costs. Appeals must be in response to a condition or situation which
				has occurred and for which monies have been expended or a debt incurred except
				where the requirements set forth in Section
				900.344 are
				satisfied.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 89 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part 900 - ILLINOIS PURCHASED CARE REVIEW BOARD › Section 900.342 - Basis for Appeals

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
			 Board can grant an increase in allowable costs for any of the following
			 reasons:
1) There has been an extraordinary
			 increase in program operating costs that is beyond the reasonable control of
			 the provider and substantially threatens the educational program's financial
			 viability.
2) Mechanical or
			 clerical errors were committed by the provider or the Board as depicted on
			 required cost reports and in the rate calculation process used by the Board in
			 determination of allowable costs.
3) Statutory or regulatory requirements of
			 any governmental agency have generated or will generate a substantial increase
			 in allowable costs during the current cost reporting period.
4) There has been or will be an extraordinary
			 decrease in program revenues or in external funding, subsidies, grants, gifts,
			 or donations that constitute a substantial portion of the funding for the core
			 functions of the provider's program to the extent that such revenues were
			 considered available when the Board approved the allowable costs for the
			 provider.
5) A substantial program
			 change has been or will be undertaken, resulting in a substantial increase in
			 costs. Each appeal must contain documentation with respect to the necessity of
			 these program costs.
6) A provider
			 believes a significant discrepancy exists between its enrollment figures as
			 submitted and the enrollment figures determined by the State Board of
			 Education. The provider may resolve the discrepancy with the appropriate local
			 school districts and appeal the initial per-student allowable cost
			 determination. Such an appeal will only be considered when the local school
			 districts amend their enrollment figures with the State Board of
			 Education.
7) There have been wage
			 increases awarded by the General Assembly to front-line personnel, defined as
			 direct support persons, aides, front-line supervisors, qualified intellectual
			 disabilities professionals, nurses, and non-administrative support staff
			 working in service settings in community-based settings within the State and
			 the provider has given the same wage increases to similar front-line personnel
			 in the provider's special education program.

When the Board changes a rate of reimbursement as a result of
				an appeal, it shall determine the effective date of the change as part of its
				final decision on the appeal. In determining the effective date of a rate
				changed on appeal, the Board shall, to the extent possible, consider
				information regarding the dates on which relevant changes or events began to
				affect the provider's costs for providing services. No adjustment to allowable
				costs shall be made with respect to any prior school year.
a) In no case shall the effective date of any
			 rate change be prior to the date on which the program was approved or prior to
			 the first day of the school year in which the appeal is received.
b) The Board shall not change a rate of
			 tuition reimbursement applicable to a particular school year later than its
			 first meeting in the month of July following the end of the regular school
			 term.
c) For room and board rates
			 involving the coordination of rates with other states or other Illinois State
			 agencies, the Board may change the applicable rate for the school year no later
			 than its first meeting in the month of August following the end of the regular

				occurrence of the reason for the appeal if that reason conforms to the
				provisions of Section
				900.342(a)(3), (a)(4),

				projected increase in cost is predictable both as to effective date and amount.

				conforms to the provisions of Section
				900.345.
				Within 45 days after the effective date of an increase under this Section, or

				documentation that the costs upon which the appeal is based have occurred. Upon
				receipt of the documentation within the required period, the allowable costs
				approved under the conditional increase shall be reaffirmed as allowable costs.
