Subpart 1.

Information required.

To receive reimbursement under parts 9550.0300 to 9550.0370, the local agency must:

A.

provide the information required by the department to conduct the social service time studies on which the state's federal reimbursement claims for administrative costs under Title IV-E and Title XIX are based; and

B.

submit quarterly reports to the department no later than 20 calendar days after the end of the quarter on forms specified by the commissioner. The quarterly reports must provide the information needed to make the calculations specified in parts 9550.0320 and 9550.0330, including:

(1)

the local agency's social service cost pool for the quarter;

(2)

the average monthly number of children in the county who are eligible under Title IV-E during the quarter; and

(3)

the average monthly number of children in substitute care in the county during the quarter.

Subp. 2.

Penalty.

A local agency shall not receive its Title IV-E or Title XIX reimbursement until the agency has provided the information required under subpart 1. If the local agency does not meet the reporting requirements of subpart 1, the commissioner shall send a written notice of noncompliance to the local agency. If a local agency does not comply with subpart 1 within 30 days of the date written notice was sent, the commissioner shall certify a reduction in the local agency's reimbursement by 20 percent for the quarter of noncompliance. Money received or retained by the department as a result of the penalty must be distributed to all local agencies that were not penalized. The percentage of penalty money received by each local agency must be equal to the percentage of Title IV-E money received by the local agency for the quarter.
