[CAFR-Contacts-News] Actual Federal Funds Participation (FFP) Rate

[ROSS Kathryn * SCD SARS]

Hello CAFR Contacts,

 

The A-87 Statewide Cost Allocation Plan (SWCAP) is a federal report
required to be filed annually by SARS on behalf of specific state
agencies. Any agency charging or assessing other state agencies for
statewide services (i.e. printing services, legal fees, workers' comp,
etc.) must participate in the "Plan."

 

The federal funds participation (FFP) rate is a rate applied to the
"billing" agency based on total revenues they receive from all agencies
paying for state services with federal dollars. The rate is used in
determining the amount of money to be paid back to the federal
government if an excess (SWCAP) fund balance exists.

 

When an agency pays for state services with appropriated "federal"
funds, it is easy to determine that those services were paid one hundred
percent with federal dollars. However, when an agency pays with "other"
appropriated funds it is not as easy to determine if federal dollars
were used to pay the invoice. In addition, if an agency pays for several
services in one payment (to DAS), it is difficult to determine which
services were paid and for each service what dollar amount was from
federal sources.

 

Therefore, if in FY2011 your agency paid for any centralized charges or
assessments listed on the attached worksheet, please complete the
spreadsheet. Insert the total amount paid, the amount paid from federal
funds (6XXX) and the amount of federal dollars paid from "other" funds
(3XXX). The second tab "DAS Invoice Prefix" may be helpful in
determining the services provided by DAS. 

 

If you have questions regarding the invoices, please contact Mini
Fernandez in DAS Operations at (503) 378-3710.


 

If you have questions regarding the SWCAP, please contact Kathy Dixon in
SARS at (503) 373-0730.

 

Please return the Request for Federal Dollars Used spreadsheet to Kathy
Dixon no later than August 22. 

 

(NOTE: If your agency did not pay for any services with federal dollars,
please indicate that on the form and return to Kathy Dixon.)

 

Thank you,

Kathy
