Dear Fiscal Officer:

 

The Consolidated Fiscal Reporting and Claiming Manual (CFR Manual) for the Fiscal Year July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 reporting period is now available. A summary of notable changes and State Agency specific information can be found on page two of this letter.  Other essential CFR information follows on subsequent pages.

 

Acquisition of CFR Manuals

 

CFR Manuals are available for download from the CFR Manual Home Page as follows:

 http://www.oms.nysed.gov/rsu/Manuals_Forms/Manuals/CFRManual/home.html

 

Consolidated Fiscal Reporting System Web Application (CFRS Web)

 

All service providers are required to use CFRS Web approved by the CFR Interagency Committee to create an appropriate CFR submission.  CFRS Web can also be used to create Consolidated Budget Reports (CBRs) for reporting periods through Fiscal Year July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. 

 

Once CFRS Web is released, it will be accessed via - https://apps.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/CFRSWeb/default.asp

Service providers should sign up for the CFRS Mailing List at https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/listserv/cfr.htm

to be notified when CFRS Web is released, any issues and solutions, and when updates are released.

 

For assistance with the CFRS Web, please refer to the Table of Contents on the CFRS Home Page or the CFRS Web HELP function. If further assistance is required, contact the Help Desk at 1-800-HELPNYS (1-800-435-7697) and select option #2, or email the Help Desk at healthhelp@its.ny.gov.  If outside of New York State, please call 1-518-474-5554. Help Desk hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The certifying/funding State Agencies may also be of assistance (see pages 8.8 through 8.9 of the CFR Manual for the related telephone numbers).

Submission of the CFR Document

Submission of CFR Certification Pages

 

Certification schedules may now be electronically signed.  An attestation will be required during the certification submission process to ensure that only the authorized individuals have signed the appropriate certification pages.

 

Schedule CFR-i is required for every CFR submission type.  To determine if Schedules CFR-ii, CFR-iiA, CFR-iii and CFR-iv are required, refer to Sections 2.0, 11.0, and 12.0 of the CFR Manual.

 

Signed and dated certification schedules for any CFR submission type, for any filing period, should be submitted through CFRS Web at:  https://apps.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/cfrsweb/cfrsupload/. The submitted files are distributed to the appropriate State Agency(ies) on a daily basis.

 

DOH and OCFS require that signed certification schedules CFR-i, CFR-ii/CFR-iiA, and CFR-iv must be submitted through CFRS Web. These agencies do not accept copies of the signed certification schedules via mail or email.

 

OASAS, OMH, OPWDD and SED will accept copies of the signed certification schedules via email.  Refer to pages 2.12 through 2.14 of the CFR Manual for information regarding the specific requirements of each NYS agency accepting email copies of the signed certification schedules.

 

If mailing your agency’s CFR certification schedules, refer to page 2.15 of the CFR Manual for CFR Unit mailing addresses.  Verify that the Document Control Number (DCN) of your agency’s internet submission matches the DCN that appears on the paper certification schedules mailed to each funding State Agency.  Sending paper copies to the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) or the OMH Field Office does not fulfill the signed and dated certification schedule submission requirement.

Submission of Final State Aid Claim Schedules for OMH

 

Service providers receiving State Aid through a direct contract with OMH or through a local contract with a county must submit the required claim schedules using CFRS Web. Service providers receiving State Aid through a local county contract should contact the county for additional county specific submission requirements.  Paper copies of the claim schedules should not be sent to the OMH Contract and Claims Unit in Albany or any of the OMH Field Offices.
