E. Applicable Costs
The Contractor and Court, as subrecipients of Federal Financial Assistance, agree to

issued by the Federal Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-87. This
Circular provides cost principles to be used in determining the availability of Federal
Financial Assistance for Child Support Enforcement activities under Title IV-D of the
Social Security Act. If any staff funded in part or in whole by IV-D funds do not work
full time on IV-D matters, detailed time-records for such employees are required to
document the amount of time spent on reimbursable activities.
F. Billing Method
The Actual Cost Reimbursement Method shall be used to claim reimbursement under
this Agreement. The Cooperative Reimbursement Budget is attached hereto and
made a part of this Agreement. The Budget and Application detail the amount and
object of expenditures for which the Contractor and Court shall use funds paid under
this Agreement. The Contractor and Court shall follow and adhere to the Budget.
Only actual costs may be billed. However, expenditures up to $3,000 above the direct
cost line item budget categories are permissible provided the sum of all expenditures
does not exceed the total amount of the Agreement.
The Contractor and Court must obtain written approval from FIA to increase or
decrease line items in the budget by more than $3,000. The Contractor's and Court's
request for FIA's approval must contain sufficient information to allow FIA to identify
which budget line items are to be increased, which line items are to be decreased, the
reason for change, the programmatic impact of the budget changes and must stay
within the originally approved budget total. The person authorized to approve budget
revisions is the Director of the Office of Child Support.
Actual costs may include the cost of fringe benefits provided for the Contractor and
Court employees funded by this Agreement, in the same proportion as those
employees are engaged in IV-D reimbursable activities. Further, those fringe benefits
shall be no greater than fringe benefits provided to similar non-IV-D employees.

medical, dental, optical, life insurance, disability insurance, retirement, social security,
workers compensation, and unemployment insurance.

submitted as directed by FIA to meet fiscal year-end closing deadlines.

his or her employment, receives, disburses, handles, or has access to support
collections shall be covered by a bond or insurance, or be self-insured with the
