Reporting Deadlines
Contractors are required to submit monthly or quarterly attendance & fiscal reports depending upon their contract.
Monthly reporting is required for “Contractors on conditional or provisional status”. For all other contractors, attendance reports are submitted quarterly for the periods ending.
Reports are due by the 20th of the month following the end of the reporting period. Attendance data is submitted online within the Child Development Program Enrollment Attendance and Fiscal Reporting System (CDPR).
Reports NOT received or that are incomplete are delinquent & apportionments will be withheld.
Apportionments
Advance apportionments are issued to contractors on a monthly basis determined by the Child Development Fiscal Services (CDFS) according to projected earnings calculated from the contractor’s Enrollment, Attendance & Fiscal Reports data submitted through CDPR.
After initial payment, subsequent payments are based on reported data.
To determine the payment, the contract earnings are multiplied by the maximum cumulative % applicable for that month or months, minus any apportionments paid to date.
Contractors will receive funds via FoundationCCC through electronic fund transfer or paper checks.
Limits of Reimbursement
For Fiscal Year 2023-2024, contractors will be reimbursed on the lessor of the 2 limits of reimbursement so long as conditions are met:
Contract Maximum Reimbursable Amount, or
Net Reimbursable Program Costs
In a typical year, contractors are reimbursed based on the 3 limits of reimbursement:
Contract Maximum Reimbursable Amount
Net Reimbursable Program Costs
Service Earnings
Notification Letters
After reports are submitted by the agency, Fiscal Services provides a notification letter along with earning calculation worksheet regarding the upcoming apportionment:
Preliminary Review Letter: Sent to contractors who are projected to earn their contract
Apportionment Adjustment Letter: Sent to contractors whose apportionment is reduced because the contractor is not projected to fully earn the MRA; also serves as a warning of potential fiscal or enrollment issues
Apportionment Withhold Letter: Sent to contractors whose apportionment is entirely withheld due to noncompliance with contract requirements
NOTE: Regardless of the letter received, contractors should carefully review the earnings calculations worksheet to address any possible overspending or enrollment problems & make adjustments as needed.
Year-End Calcuation
Year-end reports are calculated at the end of the Fiscal year to determine a contract’s total reimbursement. The year-end calculation may result in one of the following:
No additional payments due to the contractor if the contractor fully earned the contract
Calculated billing due to over-advancement of contract funds as a consequence of not earning the contract
If the year-end calculation results in a billing, the contractor will receive a Preliminary Billing Notification along with the calculation worksheet.
What this might look like in a program:
Upon notification of a calculated billing, the contractor should review the previously submitted report data for accuracy.
Ensure any approved Emergency Closures are included within your reports.
