State System Planning - Cost Allocation
Cost
Allocation Toolkit:
This CAM Toolkit is made
available to Federal, State, and local agencies
through a collaboration between the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE); the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS);
and representatives from States of Kansas and
Texas.
The CAM Toolkit's purpose is to model a simple,
consistent, and objective cost allocation methodology
to:
(1) Help States determine equitable distributions of
software development costs to Federal and State
benefiting programs over the system development
lifecycle.
(2) Help expedite the Federal approval process for
State Cost Allocation Plans.
