The user will be presented
with the BENEFITING_PROGRAMS worksheet as shown below:
The PROGRAM_SIZE indicator is used by the CAM-TOOL to
automatically determine the calculations for the Shared_Usage_LOE Worksheet
§
Please enter information for all benefiting
programs.
§ This worksheet captures a program abbreviation, the full program name, the program size (e.g., Large or Small), the user counts (i.e., the number of recipients or the number of cases of a benefiting program), an indicator for federal funding (e.g., “yes” or “no-state only”), and the Federal match rate of the program, if applicable.
· Both the PROGRAM_SIZE (e.g. Large or Small) and the FEDERALLY_FUNDED? capture cells are drop-down boxes for user selection.
· USER_COUNTS should indicate number of recipients or number of cases.
· A small program can be defined in one of two ways, whichever is smaller:
1. A program with 1,000 (one-thousand) or fewer cases or recipients.
2. A program that is 10% or less of the total cases or recipients of all benefiting programs.
· Users should use the user count numbers to determine whether a program is large or small.
§ The PROGRAM_SIZE designation is critical in the cost allocation process. Any cost allocation for small programs needs to be calculated before determining cost allocation for the larger programs. The user count numbers are used to calculate an “adjusted” cost allocation share (e.g., percentage of allocation) for small programs.
