Full Cost Recovery Policy
4
The state policy is for departments to recover full costs whenever goods or services are provided for others.
The full cost includes all cost attributable directly to the activity plus a fair share of indirect costs.
Full Cost Recovery Policy
5
Full Cost Recovery Policy
GC 11010 ~ When billing other entities, state agencies supported by the General Fund are required to include an administrative cost factor.
SAM 8752 ~ Departments providing goods or services to others will recover full costs. This applies to all departments regardless of funding sources and in all cases unless a department is specifically exempted by law.
6
Elements of Full Cost
• Direct Costs - directly assignable to a program:
– Salaries and wages
– Equipment
– Operating expenses (not included in use allowance calculations)
– Travel expenses incurred to carry out the federal award
7
Elements of Full Cost• Indirect Costs - not directly assignable to
a program:
a) Departmental (overhead) costs assigned to many programs:
Executive staff
Information technology
Accounting staff
Budget staff
Other
8
Elements of Full Cost
b) Statewide indirect costs:
Fair share of costs incurred by central administrative service agencies.
Pro Rata (special funds)
SWCAP (federal funds)

What is a Central Service Agency (CSA) Cost?
12
Central Service Agency CostsState Administrative Manual Section 8753Central service costs are those amounts expended by central service departments and the Legislature for overall administration of state government and for providing centralized services to state departments.. These functions are necessary for state operations and are centralized to provide efficient and consistent statewide policy and services.

Central Service Cost Allocation
18
Central Service Cost Allocation
Pro Rata Plan Recovery of central service costs from special
and certain non-governmental cost funds
Statewide Cost Allocation Plan (SWCAP) Recovery of central service costs from federal
funds
19
Central Service Cost AllocationPro Rata:
Allocate costs to departments by function
Distribute department’s total allocation to each fund based on the fund’s proportion of total funding
Classify each fund’s cost as billable or nonbillable
SWCAP:
Allocate costs to departments by function
Distribute department’s total allocation to federal fund based on its proportion of total funding
Federal fund is only billable fund
20
Central Service Cost Allocation
1) Obtain workload and expenditure data from the CSAs:
Past year actual workload data
Past year actual expenditures (must tie to year-end financial statements)
Budget year estimate expenditures
2) Calculate and distribute CSA costs to state departments based on workload
21
Central Service Cost Allocation3) Distribute total departmental allocation
Pro Rata – proportionately to all funds in the department based on each fund’s percentage of total departmental funding.
SWCAP – proportionately to the federal fund based on its percentage of total departmental funding.
SWCAP Method A Calculation:
Department’s Total SWCAP
Allocation
Federal Funding State Operations
X =Department’s
Budgeted SWCAP
22
4) Determine the total allocated to each fund
Calculate the total allocation using the departmental allocation for each fund (PY and BY) from Step 3 and the BY estimate from two years ago (PY estimate).
Central Service Cost Allocation (Pro Rata Only)
PY PY Roll - BY Total Actual Estimate Forward Estimate Allocation
– = + =

Central Service Costs Allocation
5) Classify the allocation from Step 4 as billable or nonbillable funds (Pro Rata only)
• Billable funds:
Funded by special revenue sources such as fees, licenses, penalties, assessments, interests, etc.
• Nonbillable funds: General FundFederal FundsSpecial Deposit Fund
(SWCAP only federal fund is billable)

Budgeting for Pro Rata
28
Budgeting for Pro RataPro Rata Assessment Sheet (green sheet)
• Does not include amounts less than $1,000 or negative amounts.
• Finance budget analysts complete the assessment sheets for billable funds only.
• Finance budget analysts forwards assessment sheet(s) to the departments for certification.
29
Pro Rata and SWCAP
• Departments and Finance budget analyst must verify that correct budgeted Pro Rata and SWCAP amounts are reflected on the Supplementary Schedule of Operating Expenses and Equipment (DF-300).
Pro Rata object code 330438
SWCAP object code 330439
30
Budgeting for SWCAP(Federal Recoveries)
31
Budgeting for SWCAP
All departments receiving federal funds must budget and recover SWCAP.
If the federal grant limits administrative costs to a certain percent of the total grant, the amount available for administrative costs must be shared between departmental indirect costs and statewide indirect costs.
Finance budget analyst receives SWCAP apportionment sheet (pink).
32
Budgeting for SWCAP
• Department budget analyst, in collaboration with Finance budget analyst, determine if the Method A calculation results in an equitable budgeted amount, or if a Method B should be used.
• Department certification and Finance approval is required.
33
Recoveries
34
Pro Rata Recoveries
Pro Rata Certification• In June Finance certifies Pro Rata billable
assessments to the SCO.
•SCO notifies state entities of their Pro Rata assessments.
•SCO will set-up the transfers to occur automatically on a quarterly basis.
35
SWCAP Recoveries
• SWCAP Plan submitted/approved to the federal government.
• Methods of SWCAP Cost Recovery:
ICRP’s (Indirect Cost Rate Proposal) CAP (Cost Allocation Plan) PACAP (Public Assistance Cost Allocation Plan) Direct billing
36
SWCAP Recoveries
• As a general rule ICRP’s, CAP’s, and PACAP’s are to be filed with the department’s cognizant federal agency at least six months prior to the fiscal year that applies.
• ICRP’s, CAP’s, and PACAP’s must be submitted to the Department of Finance for approval before filing with the cognizant federal agency.
37
SWCAP Recoveries• State departments must bill the federal government
for direct and indirect costs. Departments are responsible for complying with federal and state requirements to ensure that SWCAP costs can be recovered from the federal government.
• Each federally funded state department must initiate the transfer process via a Transaction Request, TR form CA 504. Transfers are not done automatically.
• SAM section 8755.2 explains transfers of SWCAP recoveries to the General Fund.
38
• Departments submit TR form CA 504, to SCO with a copy to FSCU and a copy to the department’s Finance Budget analyst.
• SWCAP transfer(s) are due within 30 days after the end of a quarter where a recovery occurs.
• SWCAP recoveries are tracked, reviewed, and reported by FSCU.
• State departments will be contacted for discrepancies.
SWCAP Recoveries
39
SWCAP Recoveries• If a department has not transferred federal funds
to the General Fund on a timely basis, Finance has the authority to enforce recovery by instructing the SCO to transfer the amount that should have been transferred pursuant to GC Section 13332.02.
• Control Section 8.54 was added in the 2010-11 Budget Act which provides authority to reduce appropriation items when required transfers are past due.
