DHCS Extends Deadline for First School MAA RMTS Claims
DHCS posted a SMAA Program Update to their website announcing:
- Extension of the FY 2014-15 Q3 Invoice Submission Deadline — the deadline for these claims has been extended to July 31, 2016, additional extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Department is still finalizing the template that will be used to create invoices for FY 2014-15, so this extension is welcome news for LEAs who were concerned that this delay would reduce their amount of time for completing claims for this first quarter of RMTS SMAA.
- Update for Rejoining LEAs — CMS has approved a plan for LEAs that stopped participating in FY 2013-14 and rejoined with the launch of RMTS in FY 2014-15 Q3. These LEAs can now claim interim payments for FY 2014-15 Q1 and Q2 using their results from FY 2012-13 Q1 and Q2, subject to backcasting. The majority of LEAs participated in FY 2013-14 and have already used their FY 2013-14 Q1 and Q2 results to submit claims for FY 2014-15 Q1 and Q2.
