Subject: | 2018-19 Certified Public Expenditure (CPE) Cost Report Timeline and Training |
The purpose of this Alert is to inform SSHSP billing providers that annual cost reporting for the July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019 school year will begin on August 10, 2020 and must be completed and certified by October 16, 2020.
To assist school districts and counties in this process, the NYS Department of Health’s contractor, Public Consulting Group, Inc. (PCG) is conducting CPE Cost Report training from August 11, 2020 through August 20, 2020. The training will be provided via online WebEx, and a pre-recorded training will also be available through the PCG Claiming System.
Cost reporting for the 2018-19 school year will be completed in a new web portal, the PCG Claiming System, that is already being utilized for the Random Moment Time Study. We encourage everyone to attend a training so that any questions on the new site can be discussed and addressed.
These sessions will be limited to the annual SSHSP cost reporting aspects of the certified public expenditure (CPE) component of the SSHSP. There will be a separate training for desk reviews held in the Fall of 2020.
The following relevant employees are invited to attend one 90-minute training session: School district/county employees responsible for submission or development of cost reports; RMTS coordinators; and school district/county compliance officers (if applicable). Participation in a WebEx session is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged for staff responsible for filling out the cost report, as it will be completed in a new system beginning this year. These cost report trainings are being held as cost reporting is under way for the 2018-19 school year.
Registration is required. Participants may register at any time prior to the start of a session by clicking on the applicable Register Here link in the following NYSSHSP WebEx Training Schedule. When registering please enter your school district or county agency name in the box labeled “Company Name”. An email confirming the registration was successful will be sent.
