REWORKS There are three types of Reworks claims: Typ ~_ _1 Alerts contract verification staff of the BOARD action on the claim (i.e., zero award or emergency award}, and notifies contract verification staff that further verification of the claim should be submitted on a regular, supplemental, or mental health supplemental claim. These reworks will not delay processing of the claim with information originally submitted. Subsequent verification of the claim submitted to the BOARD will be treated as a regular, supplemental, or mental health supplemental claim in accordance with the above definitions. Type 2 Requests additional information from the contract verification staff that is necessary far the complete processing of the claim. This normally involves information not available to the CENTER at the time of claims submission and may or may not delay processing of the claims. Tyne-3 Requests that the contract verification staff complete the listed corrections accompanied by the appropriate MANUAL citation. These requests represent information or action necessary to process a claim which should have been available to or pursued by the CENTER prior to submission of the claims to the BOARD. 3. The COUNTY or the CENTER shall submit a Joint Power Claim Invoice with every claim they submit for credit. Claim invoices are not required for information items such as Type 1 or Type 2 reworks, general comments pages for information only,. for which credit is not given. {To alert JP Claims Processing staff that credit is not being claimed, please note "Info.

BUDGET TNSTRUCTIQNS FY 1992/ 3 Personal Services - Salaries and Waaes Personal services include all services performed by employees who are to be funded by the Agreement. They may be either salaried or hourly, full or part-time positions. Sick leave, vacation, holidays, overtime and shift differentials must be budgeted as salaries. A line-item is required for each different position/classification, but not for each individual employee. If several people will be employed full or part-time in the same position/classification, provide the number of full-time equivalents (e.g., three half-time clerical personnel should be itemized as 1 1/2 clerical positions). List each position by title and show the percentage of time devoted to the program. Example: Sf the person is employed full-time, show the following: Program Director, $2,500 per month at 100% time z 12 months = $30,000. If the person is employed part-time, show the hourly rate and the number of hours devoted to the program (e.g., Program Director, $25/hour for 10 hours per month x 12 months = $3,000) or the monthly salary and the percentage of time devoted to the program {e.g., Program Director, 50o x $2,500/mo. x 12 months = $15,000), Place the total amount for this category in the space provided in the far right column. Fringe Benefits The COUNTY may use fixed percentages of salaries to calculate benefits. Elements that can be included in the fixed rate include employer contributions or expenses for social security, employee Life and health insurance plans, unemployment Fringe Benefits {cont'd) insurance and/or pension plans. Other benefits, if negotiated as a part of the employee benefit package, can also be included in the fixed rate. A line-item can be used for each different position/class, if the benefits vary from position/class to position/class. if several people wall be employed full-time or part-time in the same position/class, provide the number of full-time equivalents. Place the total amount for this category in the space provided at the far right column. Opera~anc~Egpenses, The following items fall within this category: rent, utilities, insurance, equipment rental, equipment repair, office supplies, telephone, postage, expendable equipment, audit, overhead, other, and travel. Costs in these subcategories should be included if they relate to the claims verification process. The total of all subcategories should be shown in the far right column. The fallowing subcategories have special requirements as noted below. Rent The rent subcategory is for facility rental. The number of square feet that will be rented far performing services specified in the Agreement should be indicated as well as the rental amount. Expendable Equipment (Nan-capitalized assets} Expendable equipment includes equipment with an acquisition cost of $499 or less per unit (including tax, installation and freight} or with a useful life of less than five years. O~]~rati_n4Expenses (cont'd) Audit Since the county is required to have an annual audit of Agreement expenditures, audit costs are an allowable expenditure. Specifically, allowable audit casts are as follows: o If the total amount of the Agreement is less than or equal to $150,000, the applicant may budget up to $1,500 for the financial audit costs: or o If the total amount of the grant is greater than $150,000, the applicant may budget up to 1 percent of the total grant for financial audit costs. Overhead Overhead costs are indirect costs which cannot be charged to a direct cost category because they are not readily itemized or assignable to a particular program. Overhead costs are costs necessary to the operations specified in the Agreement. The costs o£ centralized COUNTY services such as personnel or accounting services are examples of indirect costs. Travel Budget far all anticipated in-state travel related to the program. Out-of-state travel is not authorized. Include sufficient per diem and travel. allocations for persons to attend necessary training, conferences, workshops, or hearings. If several staff will be attending the same event, budget for the total number of people. The state mileage rate is a maximum of $.24 per mile unless a higher rate is justified. When employees of the COUNTY need to operate a privately owned vehicle on business, the employee will be allowed to claim $.24 per mile without certification or up to $.30 per mile with an annual certification that the cost of operation of the vehicle equals or exceeds the amount claimed. An operating cast worksheet is available for audit but should not be submitted with the application. O eratin Ex ense (cont'd) The GOUNTY may use its own written travel and per diem policy or the State policy. See Appendix #Z for the State travel and per diem policy. CDUNTIES that plan to use cars from a state, county, city or district car pool ar garage may budget either the mileage rate established by the loaning agency or the state mileage rate, not to exceed the loaning agency rate. Generally provide one level of line-item detail unless further explanation is needed. The narrative description below each item can explain what the item encompasses. Itemize travel expenses of program personnel and show the basis for computation (e.g., travel to Victims of Crime Program conference in Sacramento, 100 miles @ $.24 per mile = $24) or by the month (e.g., Program Director travels 100 miles per month C~ $.24 per mile $ 12 months = $288). Justify the travel by briefly stating the purpose {e.g., Program Director travels to other verification sites}. Equipment (Capitalized Assets} Nonegpendable personal property equipment is tangible personal property having a useful life of five years or more and an acquisition cost of $500 or more per unit (including tag, installation and freight). Equipment used solely far program activities may be budgeted if it is essential to the implementation of the Agreement. Grant funds may not be used to reimburse the applicant for equipment already purchased. The total. of all items in this category should be shown in the far right column. EXHIBIT D MQDIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental fund type Spending Measurement Focus. Under it, revenues are recognized when they become both "measurable" and "available to finance expenditures of the current period." Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred except for: (1) inventories of materials and supplies which may be considered expenditures either when purchased or when used; (2) prepaid insurance and similar items which need not be reported; (3) accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay, and other employee benefit amounts which need not be recognized in the current period, but for which larger-than-normal accumulations must be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements; (4) interest on special assessment indebtedness which may be recorded when due rather than accrued, if approximately offset by interest earnings on special assessment levies; (5) principal and interest on long-term debt which are generally recognized when due. All governmental funds and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
