The goal of this training is to provide each participant with the basic concepts related to public assistance cost allocation plans, including regulatory requirements, the plan development and amendment processes, and how to use a cost allocation plan as a revenue optimization tool.

Specific attention will be paid to the federal regulations (e.g., Uniform Guidance, ASMB C-10, etc.) that guide states in submitting plans for approval and we will discuss approaches to comply with these requirements.

In addition we will discuss some of the “hot topics” that are affecting states and their cost allocation plans in this current climate of budget shortfalls and constant reorganizations.
