Funding Allocations & AP Budget Prior Year Carryover
Notice the funding allocation maximum for Title III-B is $53,752. This budget shows estimated carryover of $49,439. The $49,439 is within the 10% allowed. If the estimated carryover is in excess of the 10% allowed a waiver must be submitted or anything over the allowance is deobligated.

The proposed spending on the budget is the total spending for that title from the service pages. This information is populated for you.
The proposed spending is picked up as the Total for Spending in the First Year of the Area Plan on the Summary of Obligations.

13. Funding Allocations: State Funds
2/23/2019
The State fiscal year is July 1st through June 30th. The Federal fiscal year is October 1st through September 30th. Since the state and federal fiscal years overlap, VDA splits the state funds to coincide with the federal fiscal year. Three quarters of the state funds are award for the period October 1 – June 30 and one quarter is award for the period July 1 through September 30. The two years must be reported on separately.
Funds award for the period July 1 – September 30 do not have to be spent by September 30th. You have until June 30th of the state fiscal year in which they were awarded.

14. Funding Allocations and AP Budget: State Funds October - June

General Fund transfers of up to 40% can be made between categories. Transfers for each fiscal year are to be shown separately within each fiscal year.
Transfers can be made between Community Based Services, Transportation and Home Delivered Meals.
Remember each year stands on its own. Don’t put an annual transfer all under FY’12 because it must be spent in the fiscal year of the transfer. It needs to be split between the fiscal years.
General Fund transfers must be received by May 31st.

19. Summary of Obligations: Federal Funds
2/23/2019
The top half of the page (above the double line) is carryover funds from the prior year. Funds that we have not reimbursed you for and cash you have on hand at your agency.
The total carryover is the sum of the unadvanced balance at VDA and the estimated/audited unencumbered cash on hand at the agency on 10/1.
The unadvanced balance at VDA on 9/30 comes from the remittance sheet. Based on the $49,439 shown as estimated carryover, we make the assumption that the difference in what is unadvanced at VDA is the cash on hand at your agency. An amendment to the Area Plan contract will be made to show the actual cash on hand per the agency audit once it is reviewed.
The FY’12 Obligation is the total of the New Obligation FY’11 – 9/30/11 and the New Obligation FY’12 – 10/1/11
In most cases the total of these two numbers is the number shown on the funding allocation document. (Would not be if you have carryover in access of the 10% allowed and a waiver was not requested)

20. All Three Forms: Federal Funds

21. Summary of Obligations: Federal Funds
2/23/2019
The total obligation for the year minus the total spending shows the unplanned or planned carryover. If spending is higher than the obligation and amendment is needed.
Make sure the planned carryover is less than or equal to the amount allowed on the Funding Allocations. This is a good estimate of what the allowed carryover will be for the next fiscal year. The actual carryover allowances are issued as part of the funding allocations document.
You can submit an Area Plan amendment at any time during the year to show the planned spending of these funds in the current fiscal year.

22. Summary of Obligations & Remittance: Federal Funds
2/23/2019
The information from the Summary of Obligations is used to develop the remittance sheet.
The unadvanced balance from VDA and the New Obligation FY’11 – 9/30/11 equals the balance 9/30/11 on the remittance sheet

23. Summary of Obligations & Remittance: General Funds
2/23/2019

25. AP Budget: Spending Requirements Review
2/23/2019
This page is similar in the Area Plan budget and aging monthly report (AMR). It is designed to check federal spending requirements. Cells are highlighted when requirements are not met.
For FY’13 CLP will be coming off.
Enter the planned expenditure of general funds to be used for services under a non Older Americans Act alternative sliding fee scale. If the sliding fee scale does not meet OAA requirements, then the general funds spent for this service cannot be used as match. We need to know this so we don’t show them when we submit our reports to AoA.
Enter the FY 2000 Title III-B Expenditures in the LTC Ombudsman Program – The checks the maintenance of effort requirement for the ombudsman program.
Let’s look at what requirements are being checked.

26. Requirements – Preparation & Administration
2/23/2019
Requirements – Preparation & Administration
No more than 10% of your Title III spending can be used for preparation & administration.
The preparation & administration percentage is calculated using Titles III- B, III-C(1), III-C(2), III-D and III-E. However, spending can only be charged to Titles III-B, III-C(1), III-C(2) and III-E.

27. Requirements – Priority Services Spending
2/23/2019
Requirements – Priority Services Spending
You must spend at least the following percentages from your Title III-B funds:
15% on access services (care coordination, CRIA, transportation)
5% on in-home services (checking, adult day care, chore, home health, homemaker, personal care, residential repair and renovation)
1% on legal assistance

28. 2/23/2019
Requirements – Match
Title III-B and C Services – 85% federal / 5% state / 10% other non-federal resources
Title III-E Services - 75% federal / 25% other non-federal resources
Preparation & Administration – 75% federal / 25% non-federal resources
There is no match requirement for Title VII – Ombudsman and Elder Abuse
The federal share is computed on the total budget. If you have $100 federal dollars and the match is 75/25, the total budget would be $134.
Even though there is no match requirement on Title VII, there is a maintenance of effort provision that states you must spend from all sources no less than the expenditures for FY’ 2000.
