SPARC - RMS Cost Allocation

RMS Cost Allocation

The county workgroup recommended DCF to use two methods for recording the non-direct costs: Random Moment Sampling (RMS) cost allocation for claiming federal funds and the direct cost forms for reimbursements to the counties for the county allocated non-direct costs.

The direct cost report will not be processed (paid) until DCF receives the monthly shared cost report and the Employee Count Report.

The Contract Balance Report is a cumulative contract to date report. It is valuable for tracking total expenditures vs. total reimbursements and for showing the current cash position. Agencies can determine why certain expenditures were not reimbursed (due to over contract, no signed contract, errors in reporting, etc.) The report columns are described below the table.
