Consolidated Ageemcnt -Final <br />the Expenditure report, but are not included in the amount verified in the <br />"Certification." <br />Page 9 of 21 <br />4. (State/ Federal Revenues) The Department shall submit a monthly report of actual <br />expenditures (State and/or Federal) to the DHHS Controller's Office on the DHHS <br />(Electronic) Spreadsheet (same electronic Spreadsheet DHHS 2949 as referenced in 3.f. <br />above) -all reported in one spreadsheet, but separated here for clarity of instructions. <br />a. The Department shall submit monthly expenditures for all programs via DHHS 2949 <br />(Electronic) Spreadsheet to the DHHS Controller's Office according to their schedule <br />published annually in December for the next calendar year. The schedule reflects a <br />general period of 15-20 days from the end of the reporting month for submission of <br />the DHHS Spreadsheet, based on weekends and holidays, to allow processing time for <br />the payment. Failure to meet the reporting deadline, as published, WII.,L result in the <br />exclusion of those expenditures in the Steps-Out payment for that month. The <br />Department must submit these monthly expenditure reports, via this DHHS <br />Spreadsheet, consecutively throughout the agreement period. <br />b. Departments shall keep a enditure re ortina current and submit their DHHS Form <br />2949 S readsheets er the ublished DHHS Controller's Office Schedule. Funding is <br />based on an Allocation Method, not a Contract Method, and counties receive <br />reimbursement for services provided during one month in the following month. <br />Therefore, the last service month to be paid in the SFY will be May services which are <br />reported and paid in June. <br />A department's June, 2003 expenditure report will be paid in July, 2003 and will <br />be paid from a department's fiznding allocation for SFY 2003-04. Therefore a <br />department will need to submit all requests for adjustments, corrections, or <br />amendments to expenditure reports for fiscal year 02-03, with the May, 2003 <br />c. Expenditures of federal funds must be reported according to the funding period for a <br />grant. Care must be taken to be attentive to the service month payment months for <br />each grant as well as the ending settlement date for a grant. (For example, a grant <br />which ends November 30 will have 6 service/payment months charged against it: 1) <br />June 2002 service month/paid in July; 2) July service month/paid in August; 3) August <br />service month/paid in September; 4) September service month/paid in October; 5) <br />October service month/ paid in November; and 6) November service month/paid either <br />in December, or before the ending date of that grant's settlement period. In this <br />example the remaining 6 service/payment months will be December service month/paid <br />in January through May service month/paid in June, 2003.) For each Grant, the <br />budgetary estimate, funding authorization and agreement addendum will have <br />service/payment month dates listed. Billing the service month in the next month and <br />reporting adjustments whenever discovered but at least quarterly, should ensure that <br />the Department receives proper payment. Grant expenditures submitted after the <br />settlement date of a Grant will not be reimbursed, nor will there be any year end <br />settlement from any other source of funds. <br />
