Central Service Costs Allocation 10
The Pro Rata Plan & the SWCAP Plan Central service costs are allocated through Pro Rata for special funds and through SWCAP for federal funds. We refer to this allocation process as the Pro Rata Plan and the SWCAP Plan. 11
The Pro Rata Plan & the SWCAP Plan -- continued The Plan distributes CSA costs to each state department based on workload. The total allocation for each department is calculated using the formula below. PY is prior year and BY is budget year. PY PY Roll - BY Total Actual Estimate Forward Estimate Allocation – = + = 12
The Pro Rata Plan & the SWCAP Plan -- continued In Pro Rata, a department’s allocation is then further allocated to each fund within the department. In SWCAP, since only Federal funds are billable, the Federal portion is calculated using the department’s ratio of Federal funding to their total State Operations amount. 13
The Pro Rata Plan & the SWCAP Plan -- continued Funds are classified as billable or nonbillable For Pro Rata: Billable funds: Funded by special revenue sources such as fees, licenses, penalties, assessments, interests, etc. Nonbillable funds: General Fund Federal Funds Special Deposit Fund For SWCAP, only federal funds are billable. 14
