Background - About IDHS Year End Cost Reporting Using the Consolidated Financial Report (CFR)

The Consolidated Financial Report (CFR) is a standardized cost reporting template. The use of this template to collect year end costs was agreed to by the five State of Illinois Health and Human Services Agencies during a collective effort known as the Management Improvement Initiative (MIIC). The template was voted on to be able to serve both as a standardized budget and year end cost reporting form and actually the first version was created close to twenty years ago in an effort to standardize cost data collection primarily in the Medicaid arena. The Management Improvement Initiative was signed into law on August 25, 2011 as Public Act 97-0558 and mandates that State of Illinois Health and Human Service agencies continue to streamline and reduce financial reporting redundancy that is placed upon providers so that more of their time can be spent in delivering front line services. The MIIC committee modified the template so that it met minimum federal reporting requirements.

The Year End CFR template utilizes the same format and the same schedules as the Budget CFR which has been used in the IDHS budget cycles. Also, as noted earlier, many of the IDHS providers have also historically reported year end cost data using this CFR template for many years - primarily in the Division of Mental Health and Division of Developmental Disability.

On July 16, 2014, Public Act 98-706 was signed into law by Governor Quinn. This law is also referred to as the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA). The purpose of this act is to develop a coordinated, non-redundant process for the provision of effective and efficient oversight of the selection and monitoring of grant recipients. It is intended to continue with the efforts of the Management Improvement Initiative and to increase the accountability and transparency in the use of grant funds from whatever source and to reduce administrative burdens on both State agencies and grantees by adopting uniform rules. The GATA Portal went live in 2018.

The IDHS Year End CFR template is composed of seven schedules:

  • The Year End CFR Summary
  • The Schedule of Reported Programs
  • The Schedule of Program Revenue
  • The Schedule of Program Costs
  • The Report of Service Units
  • Program Personnel
  • Program Consultant and Contractual

Why does IDHS Require the Collection of Year End Cost Data?

Federal administrative requirements, issued via OMB Circulars, require year end cost reporting data to be submitted by our providers. (Please reference 2 CFR 200 Code of Federal Regulations.)

Where are your requirements outlined and when are the reports due?

As outlined in the current fiscal year Division of Developmental Disabilities Attachment A - Section VII Reporting Requirements, the Consolidated Financial Reports (CFR):

  1. Applies to all Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) Providers and Executive Ethics Commission (EEC) contracted vendors as determined by DDD.
  2. Providers shall submit CFRs within 180 days after the Provider's fiscal year ending. An extension of this date must be requested using the Extension/Waiver Request Form. This form is available on IDHS: Financial Reporting (state.il.us) webpage or may be requested by emailing DHS.OCA.FinancialReporting@illinois.gov.
  3. The CFR must cover the same period as the Audited Financial Statements cover.
  4. The CFR must include an In Relation To Opinion (IRTO) from the report issuer on the Cost Schedule and Revenue Schedule if the Provider is subject to an audit requirement.
  5. CFRs shall follow a format prescribed by IDHS and must be submitted to the Central Repository Vault (CRV).

As required by Administrative Rule Section 89-507, all providers are sent a notice of the current Year End Financial Reporting requirements. A supplemental listing of the IDHS programs that need to be reported on the Year End CFR is included in that mailing. In addition, per the Management Improvement Initiative forum, all revenues and costs associated with the other four State of Illinois Sister Health and Human Service Agencies should also be reflected on the CFR.

One of the primarily goals of the data collection is to be able to provide the legislature with a true and accurate picture of how much it costs to run the various programs and how the programs are currently being funded.

Where is the information entered and how are reports submitted?

Beginning with the FY14 CFR reports, all data should be entered into the Community Service Agreement (CSA) system. This user manual provides instruction on how to navigate and enter data into the CSA system.

Once you finish your report and click on "submit report" - it will automatically be posted and filed in the Central Repository Vault (CRV) for you. You can also print this report out in .pdf format for inclusion in your Financial Statement Audit.

* If you are not registered in the CSA, you may send an email request for an Excel Spreadsheet version of the CFR to DHS.OCA.FinancialReporting@illinois.gov. The Excel Spreadsheet must be saved as a .pdf to upload it to the CRV. (The CRV does not work with Excel documents.)

Who do you Contact if you have Issues with the CRV or Need a CSA Password Reset?

If you have trouble registering for the CRV, send an email to DHS.CRV.Support@illinois.gov.

If you need to register for the CSA or need a password reset to CSA, please visit DoIT Identity Management Accounts - Support (illinois.gov). There is also a link to reset your password on this webpage. You may also send an email to DHS.CSA.Support@illinois.gov.

Relationship of the CFR to the Audited Statement of Functional Expenses

The Statement of Functional Expenses is a required part of the financial statements for a non-profit entity. The CFR, when completed, will be able to be traced into your Statement of Functional Expenses.

A Quick Refresher - 2 CFR Part 200 Guidance for Direct Costs and Indirect Cost Classification.

As mentioned previously, this template and associated definitions included in this manual were initially developed to capture Medicaid costs. As we continue to streamline and standardize cost elements for all IDHS agreements, and rules are promulgated by the Federal HHS agency as well as the State of Illinois Grant Accountability and Transparency Unit, these definitions for this manual will continue to be updated. Caution should be exercised to accurately report direct, indirect, allowable, and unallowable costs related to your program (cost objective). A quick refresher of those definitions is found in 2 CFR Part 200 - which is sometimes referred to as the new Federal Super bill. These are presented below for your reference.

Cost objective: "A program, function, activity, award, organizational subdivision, contract, or work unit for which cost data are desired and for which provision is made to accumulate and measure the cost of processes, products, jobs, capital projects, etc. A cost objective may be a major function of the non-Federal entity, a particular service or project, a Federal award, or an indirect (Facilities and Administrative (F&A)) cost activity." (2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E)

Composition of Costs

Total cost: "The total cost of a Federal award is the sum of the allowable direct and allocable indirect costs less any applicable credits." (Section 200.402)

Factors Affecting Allowability of Costs:

"Except where otherwise authorized by statute, costs must meet the following general criteria in order to be allowable under Federal awards:

  1. Be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the Federal award and be allocable thereto under these principles.
  2. Conform to any limitations or exclusions set forth in these principles or in the Federal award as to types or amount of cost items.
  3. Be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both Federally financed and other activities of the non-Federal entity.
  4. Be accorded consistent treatment. A cost may not be assigned as a direct cost if any other cost incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances has been allocated to the Federal award as an indirect cost.
  5. Be determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), except for state and local governments and Indian tribes only, as otherwise provided for in this part.
  6. Not be included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements of any other Federally financed program in either the current or a prior period. See also § 200.306(b).
  7. Be adequately documented. See also §§ 200.300 through 200.309.
  8. h) Cost must be incurred during the approved budget period. The Federal awarding agency is authorized, at its discretion, to waive prior written approvals to carry forward unobligated balances to subsequent budget periods pursuant to § 200.308(e)(3)." (Section 200.403)

Reasonable Costs:

"A cost is reasonable, if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the cost. The question of reasonableness is particularly important when the non-Federal entity is predominately Federally funded. In determining reasonableness of a given cost, consideration must be given to:

  1. Whether the cost is of a type generally recognized as ordinary and necessary for the operation of the non-Federal entity or the proper and efficient performance of the Federal award.
  2. The restraints or requirements imposed by such factors as: sound business practices; arm's-length bargaining; Federal, state and other laws and regulations; and terms and conditions of the Federal award.
  3. Market prices for comparable goods or services for the geographic area.
  4. Whether the individuals concerned acted with prudence in the circumstances considering their responsibilities to the non-Federal entity, its employees, where applicable it students or membership, the public at large, and the Federal government.
  5. Whether the non-Federal entity significant deviates from its established practices and policies regarding the incurrence of costs, which may unjustifiably increase the Federal awards costs." (Section 200.404)

Allocable Costs:

  1. A cost is allocable to a particular Federal award or other cost objectives if the goods or services involved are chargeable or assignable to that Federal award or cost objective in accordance with relative benefits received. This standard is met if the cost:
    1. Is incurred specifically for the Federal award
    2. Benefits both the Federal award and other work of the non-Federal entity and can be distributed in proportions that may be approximated using reasonable methods; and
    3. Is necessary to the overall operation of the non-Federal entity and is assignable in part to the Federal award in accordance with the principles in this subpart.
  2. All activities which benefit from the non-Federal entity's indirect (F&A) cost, including unallowable activities and donated services by the non-Federal entity or third parties, will receive an appropriate allocation of indirect costs.
  3. Any cost allocable to a particular Federal award under the principles provided for in this part may not be charged to other Federal awards to overcome fund deficiencies, to avoid restrictions imposed by Federal awards, or for other reasons. However, this prohibition would not preclude the non-Federal entity from shifting costs that are allowable under two or more Federal subawards in accordance with existing Federal statutes, regulations, or the terms and conditions of the Federal awards.
  4. Direct cost allocation principles. If a cost benefits two or more projects or activities in proportions that can be determined without undue effort or cost, the cost should be allocated to the projects based on the proportional benefit. If a cost benefits two or more projects or activities in proportions that cannot be determined because of the interrelationship of the work involved, then, notwithstanding paragraph (c) of this section, the costs may be allocated or transferred to benefitted projects on any reasonable documented basis. Where the purchase of equipment or other capital asset is specifically authorized under a Federal award, the cost are assignable to the Federal award regardless of the use that may be made of the equipment or other capital asset involved when no longer needed for the purpose for which it was originally required. See also Section 200.310 insurance coverage through 200.316 property trust relationship and 200.439 Equipment and other capital expenditures.
  5. If the contract is subject to CAS, costs must be allocated to the contract pursuant to the Costs Accounting Standards. To the extent that CAS is applicable, the allocation of costs in accordance with CAS takes precedence over the allocation provisions in this part." (Section 200.405)

Classification of costs:

"There is no universal rule for classifying certain costs as either direct or indirect (F&A) under every accounting system. A cost may be direct with respect to some specific service or function, but indirect with respect to the Federal award or other final cost objective. Therefore, it is essential that each item of cost incurred for the same purpose be treated consistently in like circumstances either as direct or an indirect (F&A) cost in order to avoid possible double-charging of Federal awards. Guidelines for determining direct and indirect (F&A) are provided in subpart 2 CFR Part 200.413 and 200.414." (Section 200.412)

Direct Costs:

  1. General: Direct costs are those costs that can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective, such as a Federal award, or other internally or externally funded activity, or that can be internally or externally funded activity, or that can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. Cost incurred for the same purpose in like circumstance must be treated consistently as either direct or indirect cost.
  2. Application to Federal Awards: Identification with the Federal award rather than the nature for the goods and services involved is the determining factor in distinguishing direct from indirect costs so include extraordinary utility consumption, the cost of materials supplied from stock or services rendered by specialized facilities or other institutional service operations.
  3. The salaries of administrative and clerical staff should normally be treated as indirect costs. Direct charging of these costs may be appropriate only if all of the following conditions are met:
    1. Administrative or clerical services are integral to a project or activity
    2. Individuals involved can be specifically identified with the project of activity
    3. Such costs are explicitly induded in the budget or have the prior written approval
    4. The costs are not also recovered as indirect costs.
    5. Minor items. Any direct cost minor amount may be treated as indirect cost for reasons of practicality where such account treatment for that item of cost is consistently applied to all Federal and on-Federal costs objectives.
    6. The costs of certain activities are not allowable as charged to Federal awards. However, even though these costs are unallowable for purposes of computing charges to Federal awards, they nonetheless must be treated as direct costs for purposes of determining indirect cost rates and be allocated their equitable share of the -Federal entity's indirect costs.
    7. For nonprofit organizations, the costs of activities performed by the non-Federal entity primarily as a service to members, clients, or the general public when significant and necessary to the non-Federal entity's mission must be treated as direct costs whether or not allowable, and be allocated an equitable share of indirect costs." (Section 200.413)

Indirect (F&A) Costs:

  1. Facilities and Administration Classification. For major IHEs and major nonprofit organizations, indirect (F&A) costs must be classified within two broad categories: Facilities and Administration. Facilities is defined as depreciation on building, equipment and capital improvement, interest on debt associated with certain buildings, equipment and capital improvements and operations and maintenances expenses. Administration is defined as general administration and general expense such as the director's office, accounting, personnel and all other types of expenditures not listed specifically less than one of the subcategories of facilities (including cross allocation from other pools, where applicable). For nonprofit organizations, library expenses are included in the Administration category; for institutions of higher education, they are included in the facilities category. Major nonprofit organizations are those which receive more than $10 million dollars in direct Federal funding.
  2. Diversity of nonprofit organizations: Because of the diverse characteristics and accounting practices of nonprofit organizations, it is not possible to specify the types of cost which may be classified as indirect cost in all situations. Identification with a Federal award rather than the nature of the goods and services involved is the determining factor in distinguishing direct from indirect costs of Federal awards. However, typical examples of indirect (F&A) cost for many nonprofit organizations may include depreciation on buildings and equipment, the costs of operating and maintaining facilities, and general administration and general expenses, such as the salaries and expenses of executive officers, personnel administration and accounting." (Section 414)

Payroll Costs:

In regards to Payroll costs, "charges to awards for salaries and wages, whether treated as direct cost or indirect costs, will be based on documented payrolls approved by a responsible official(s) of the organization. (subparagraph 8.m.(1) of Appendix B to 2 CFR Part 230).

Personnel Activity Reports (PARS):

The distribution of salaries and wages to awards must be supported by personnel activity reports. PARS reflecting the distribution of activity of each employee must be maintained for all staff members (professional and nonprofessional) whose compensation is charged, in whole or in part, directly to awards. PARS must also be maintained for other employees whose work involves two or more functions or activities in order to support the allocation of indirect costs.

Step 2 - Check to see if a Year End CFR is still needed

Click on Home Tab.

If you have not submitted a Year End Report you will receive a reminder on this page that the report is still needed.

Once you have submitted your report, this alert will drop off from your home screen.

Step 3 - Ensure your year-end entity date is correct.

Click on Provider Info Tab.

This information should be pre-populated for you.

Review the information to ensure it is correct. Please pay particular attention to the Fiscal Year Begin date for your entity. The CFR must be reported on the same time period as your entity's fiscal year end date so amounts can be traced through to the audited financial statements.

Step 4 - Create an Actual Year End CFR "Shell"

To create a Year-End actual, click Actuals found on the main-menu toolbar to bring up the Actual List screen.

Click Add Actual found at the bottom of the screen to add an actual record. The system will display the Year-End screen.

Step 5 - Complete the Year-End Actuals

All fields with a red asterisk (*) are required.

The Form Type is auto-generated (Year End).

Enter the Standard Weekly Hours you use (Required). If a standard weekly work week is 40 - insert 40 here.

Select the Copy Previous Year Actuals check-box to make a copy of the previous Year-End Actuals.

You do not need to input into anything in the Status field.

Click Save. The system will display the Year-End History table.

You can see that the status of the report is now "In-Work" and a Year-End Shell has been created.

This Year-End screen is the main page for managing, viewing and inputting reporting data. All options and tables are available from this screen. The system will display the History table and will date and time stamp the form's history. It also displays the Year-End Status history, notes about the report and who has worked on the report - as well as the date/time of the data entry.

Click the Programs link to display the FY Actual Programs. The system will display the Actual Programs for FY:2015 screen.

Step 6 - Add Your Programs

You will need to add programs for all of IDHS funding. You will also need to add additional programs for other funding received from the other State of Illinois Health and Human Service Agencies. (These include Department of Aging, Department of Healthcare and Family Services, Department of Public Health and Department of Children and Family Services). Note: If you use other funding sources outside the State of Illinois Health and Human Service Agencies (such as United Way funding) as part of your revenue streams associated with those 5 agencies, those will be included in the cost and revenue build up and will not need a separate program code established. In addition, if there are other programs your entity performs not associated with the 5 State of Illinois Health and Human Service Agencies - those will also not need a program code established.

To add a Program, click Add Program found on the Actual Programs for FY:2015 screen. The system will display the Add/Edit Program screen. All fields with a red asterisk (*) are required.

Enter the Program Name (Required). If this is an IDHS agreement, the Program Name is listed on your CSA agreement and also on the Supplemental listing of Programs to Be Reported on the current fiscal year CFR mailed to you. If this is not an IDHS agreement - but one of the State of Illinois Health and Human Service agencies, enter the associated program name.

Enter the Program Code (Required). If this is an IDHS agreement, the Program Code is listed on your CSA agreement and also on the Supplemental listing of Programs to Be Reported on the current fiscal year CFR mailed to you. If this is not an IDHS agreement - but one of the State of Illinois Health and Human Service agencies, enter the associated program code if applicable.

Select a Funding Agency from the drop-down menu that is associated with this program. Note: all State of Illinois Department of Health and Human Service agencies should be reported on your CFR.

Enter a program Description. For IDHS agreements, enter the applicable contract number here. (This will not appear on the subsidiary schedules)

Click Save & Add another Program to save the screen and to add another Program to the Actual. The system will clear the Add/Edit Program screen.

Click Save when all programs have been added. The system will display the Actual Programs screen with a list of all added programs.

Click Cancel to cancel the screen and return to the Actual Programs screen.

Step 7 - Review Your Actual Program Listing

Actual Programs:

The table will display the following information: Program Name, Program Code and Funding Agency.

Click the Program Name link found in the Actual Programs table to view/edit an existing Program. The system will display the Add/Edit Program screen.

The Jump to drop-down menu is used to display the various other schedules.

You will notice that by entering in your program name one time - the program name will appear on all subsidiarity schedules.

The CFR Summary, Program and Schedules (Go to Table/Jump To)

The Go to Table/Jump To drop-down menu (found in the upper right-hand portion of your screen) is used to display the various report schedules. The following report schedules are available from the dropdown menu: Summary, Programs, Schedule of Program Costs, Schedule of Program Revenue, Report of Service Units, Program Personnel, and Program Consultant and Contractual.

Summary

The Summary table draws data from the various schedules and is information only. There is not data entry needed on this page!

Select the "Summary" option from the Go to Table/Jump to drop-down menu to access the Summary screen. All information on the Summary is calculated from subsidiary schedules.

Click Print to display a printable copy of the Year-End Summary.

Click the Year End Main Page link to display the Year-End screen.

Step 8 - Enter the Schedule of Program Costs

The total agency column should reflect the total costs contained in your current fiscal year Audited Financial Statements - Statement of Functional Expenses Program Total. (This should not include any general and administrative/indirect expense). Start by entering in your totals in the Total Agency Column from your audited financial Statement of Functional Expense Program Total. Note: If you need to add additional lines or different descriptions you can do so by typing in the white area labeled as "other". Moving from left to right - allocate your costs to the appropriate program.

Please remember that this form is to be completed on your fiscal year end basis.

For each program, enter in all relevant cost - whether allowable or nonallowable. This will capture the program's total cost - not just those costs paid by IDHS. Total costs are reported on lines 1-44. This also includes non-reimbursable expenses. The non-reimbursable expenses are reported seperately on lines 45-48 where they are deducted from the total expenses to result in the net expense calculated on line 49. Use the "other (specify) line for items not readily defined. (When entering, please use a positive amount in these fields).

Be sure to include all costs related to the other State of Illinois Department of Health and Human Sister agencies including Department of Aging, Department of Healthcare and Family Services, Department of Children and Family Services and Department of Public Health.

The system will automatically calculate the other costs in the "other not allocated" column for you.

The user must be sure that the sum of lines "1" and "2" on the Schedule of Program Costs table equals line "33" on the Program Personnel table or an actuals submission will result in an input error.

Select the "Costs" option from the Go to Table/Jump to drop-down menu to access the Schedule of Programs Costs screen.

Click Print to display a printable copy of the Schedule of Program Costs.

Click Save & Recalculate to save the table and recalculate the newly entered figures.

Click Cancel to cancel the screen and return to the Actuals List screen.

Click the Year End Main Page link to display the Year-End screen.

Total Agency and Program Totals are based on the entity's fiscal year.

Note: The definitions presented below are from the historical definitions that have been developed and used by our DDD and DMH divisions - so the definition represented below for "support" costs, "occupancy" and "general and administrative or indirect" expenses might not capture your standard definition of those costs. The definitions are intended to guide completion of the report only. Those costs clearly identifiable to a cost objective should be classified as direct. Those costs that cannot be easily traced to a cost objective should be considered an indirect cost. See more explanation in 2 CFR Part 200.

Program Expenses:

Direct program expenses:

  1. Program Staff Salaries: Report the total expense of the wages of program staff here. (Including any anticipated accruals). Salaries and wages should include vacation, holiday, or sick pay.
    • Do not report contracted staff or consultants on this line. Contracted program staff, including contracted temporaries, should be reported on line 4.
    • Do not report the cost of program clerical staff salaries on line 1. Clerical staff salaries are reported either on line 2 or 36 (see instructions for line 2).
    • The amount reported on lines 1 and 2 must match the total amount of costs reported on the Personnel Schedule (Schedule F) otherwise the CSA system will not allow you to submit the report.
  2. Program Clerical Staff Salaries: The cost of clerical staff to type case notes or otherwise maintains specific client files, which are directly attributable to the grant as a direct expense, should be reported here. General clerical duties not specifically performed for a grant should be reported in the administrative cost section. Contracted staff, including contracted temporaries should be reported on line 3.
  3. Program Staff Payroll Taxes and Fringe Benefits: This is the portion of the cost of payroll taxes and fringe benefits allocated to Program Staff reported in line 1 and 2. These costs include:
    • Employee Health and Retirement Benefits paid by an agency under its own or other employee health and retirement benefit plan.
    • Payroll taxes are the sum of the social security and other taxes payable by the employer under federal, state or local law.
    • Worker's Compensation Insurance
    • Other Employee Benefits provided to the employee at employer expense.
  4. Program Consultants: Program consultants are those that are contracted to provide direct program services and can include the following: Vocational Services, Academic Instruction, Speech and Language Services, Occupational and Physical Therapy, Psycho/Social Services, Medical Care, Recreational Services and Habilitation/Personal Care. The amount reported on Line 4 must match the total amount of costs reported on the Program Consultant and Contractual worksheet. No entry is needed here, as the data is pulled from the Consultant schedule automatically.
  5. Consumer Wages and Fringe Benefits: This represents the cost of paying wages and benefits to clients enrolled in the program. This should not be confused with Specific Assistance costs which are reported elsewhere.
  6. Medicine and Drugs: List here the costs of medicine and drug supplies. Included among these expenditures would be the object costs of complying with OSHA regulations pertaining to bookborne pathogens.
    • The costs of supplies which are later separately reimbursed by the Department of Human Services or other State agency also should be reported on Line 47, 'Non-reimbursable Expenses, Other'.
  7. All Other Direct Service Equipment and Supplies: List here the cost of program-related materials and other supplies used by an agency. Items costing more than $500 with a useful life of more than one year must be capitalized and depreciated. Such depreciation costs would be reported on lines 27 and 28.
  8. Staff Transportation: List here the object cost of operating vehicles associated with the travel of staff to or from client visits, court appearances, collateral contacts, offsite counseling/homemaker sessions or other similar activities. The costs may include vehicle insurance, license plates, gasoline and repairs and maintenance, or mileage reimbursement for use of personal cars.
  9. Client Transportation: The object cost of operating vehicles associated with transporting clients to parental visits, court Appearances, counseling/therapy sessions or other similar activities. The costs may include vehicle insurance, license plates, gasoline and repairs and maintenance, or mileage reimbursement for use of personal cars. Transportation costs which could be reasonably reported on either line 8 or 9 should be reported on line 9.
  10. Transportation To/From School: This line is to be used solely the cost of transporting children to or from school. This line would typically be completed only for programs operating a day or boarding school. On the previous version of the CFR, this cost was not reported separately except to the Purchased Care Review Board.
  11. Direct Service Staff Conferences and Conventions: The costs incurred through participation of program staff in training programs. The cost of Conferences and conventions may be included here if agency program staff were participating.
  12. Program Insurance: List here the costs of all liability, malpractice, personal injury and other types of insurance not reported as property insurance or as employee benefits. The expense of malpractice insurance covering employees, consultants, and members of the board of directors while working in funded programs is allowable.
    • Amounts paid for key-man life insurance and unallowable malpractice (Unallowable malpractice Insurance costs are those costs for covering individuals when working outside the funded Program) should be reported here. They should also be reported on line 47.
  13. Direct Client Specific Assistance: The object cost of providing individual clients with special needs where the items purchased become the property of the individual rather than the agency. Client allowances are also reported here. Clothing and allowances must also be reported on Line 47.
  14. Telecommunications Costs Assigned to Program: List here the portion of the total telephone expense that is associated with utilization by either client in their living quarters or by direct service staff.

Enter the entity's total personnel costs based upon your entity's fiscal year. Additional descriptions can be created by using the "other" rows in white and then specifying position titles. All IDHS and funding associated with the State of Illinois Sister Health and Human Service Agency programs should be listed here.

Position Column:

Not all positions at an agency are listed here. The only positions listed are those that are necessary to support rate computations, federal claiming calculations or other data collection needs. Positions not listed should be reported on line 32 only if they are classified as program staff. The totals of all positions reported here should match the total on line 1 and 2 of the Cost schedule.

The position column lists staff positions for which there are a set of uniform job descriptions. The position descriptions are intended to be functional in nature. Therefore, staff reasonably fitting into job descriptions should be reported under the associated position title. The position descriptions are largely based on those used by the United Way. A description of each position is included at the end of these instructions.

Total Hours:

Record the total number of hours paid and accrued including overtime hours for each position title filled during the year, or any portion thereof. Paid vacation, holidays and sick time are included in the sum of hours paid and accrued. (Because salaried positions are not paid for overtime, record only the nonovertime hours worked.)

Total Amount Paid:

Record the total dollars paid and accrued including overtime hours for each position title filled during the year, or any portion thereof. Paid vacation, holidays and sick time are included in the sum of amounts paid and accrued.

For example, assume the following caseworker staffing history for an agency with a standard eight-hour day and 260 working days in a year:

Name Period of Staff Days # Working Days Hours Paid and Accrued Wages Paid and Accrued
Craig 7/1/95 - 6/30/96 260 2,080 $24,960
Tom 7/1/95 - 6/30/96 260 2,080 $24,960
Andy 4/1/96 - 6/30/96 65 520 $6,240

Nyle 7/1/95 - 5/30/96 239 1,912 $22,944
Totals: 7,288 $87,456

In this example, 7,288 hours were paid and accrued. The 7,288 would be reported in the Total Hours column. $87,456 would be reported in the 'Total Amount Paid' column.

Total Head Count:

Record the end of year head count in that salary position.

% Allocated:

This column is calculated by the software for you based on the proportion of salaries entered across programs.

Salaries and Wages (Under the Program Headings):
