D. Maximum Reimbursement Amount/Maximum Earnings
Parent fees received from certified families are to be expended and
earned by the contractor before contract funds may be claimed for
reimbursement (i.e., first in, first out). Such fees shall be
expended on reimbursable costs as specified in these FTC and earned
by providing child days/hours of enrollment beyond the minimum
specified in the contract at a rate equal to the lesser of the
daily/hourly contract rate or actual cost.
Contractors may place advance contract funds in an interest bearing
account. If the contractor decides to place contract funds in an
interest bearing account, it shall be a separate account within the
Child Development Fund. Interest earned may be retained by the
contractor if expended on reimbursable costs as specified in these
FTC and earned by providing child days/hours of enrollment beyond the
minimum specified in the contract at a rate equal to the lesser of the
daily/hourly contract rate or the actual cost. Any interest earned on
advanced contract funds shall be computed as last in, last out for
reimbursement purposes.
Interest and parent fees for subsidized children are considered
contract funds and are subject to the same restrictions/requirements.
Reimbursement which may be claimed by the contractor is the least of
11111 through HrA-below; "3" below:
1. The contract Maximum Reimbursable Amount (MRA) multiplied by the
percentage of contract minimum days of operation (MDO) that the
contractor actually was in operation, not to exceed one hundred
percent (100x) of MDO.
2. Actual and allowable net costs (for subsidized children).
3. The product of the adjusted child days/hours of enrollment of
certified children, times the contract rate per child day/hour
of enrollment, times the actual percentage of attendance plus
five percent (5x), but in no case to exceed one hundred percent
(100x) of enrollment.
