Administrative costs will be reimbursed based on actual costs, but not to exceed the "maximum reimbursement" set out below, based upon the sum of the participants who actually receive food vouchers each month plus infants who do not receive any food vouchers whose breastfeeding mothers were participants, to the extent that the total so derived does not exceed the PERFORMING AGENCY'S total assigned caseload within any given month. Surplus funds (the amount by which maximum reimbursements exceed actual costs) can be accumulated and carried forward within the Attachment term. The time period during which surplus may be recovered will be determined by the RECEMNG AGENCY. PARTICIPANTS SERVED PER MONTH MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT: Federal FY98, the period covered by this Attachment, represents the second year of a new funding formula for the Texas WIC Program. As such, a grandfathering of the full effects of the formula will be implemented this contract period and the next several contract periods. During the term of the Attachment, the PERFORMING AGENCY will earn administrative funds at the rate of $2....31 for each participant served as defined above for the first 83.232 clients served. All additional participants served will be at the new funding rate of $7.04. Special Initiative "Immunizations" funding is incorporated into the rate-per-participant shown above until the PERFORMING AGENCY reaches a cumulative number of immunizations administered for the Attachment period totaling 6.218 and serves a total number of WIC participants equal to 83.232. At that point, all additional immunizations administered by staff funded under this Attachment to WIC participants/applicants and their siblings will earn administrative funds at the rate of $5.00 per immunization as reported to the RECEMNG AGENCY via Encounter Forms or the Automation System to be implemented by the RECEMNG AGENCY during the term of this Attachment. However, if the PERFORMING AGENCY discontinues administering immunizations as a part of its WIC Program services during the term of this ~greement, then the "hold harmless" level of funding, as set out above, will be adjusted accordingly to subtract from it a commensurate amount of funds represented in it for Special Initiative "Immunizations" funding. The adjustment in the "hold harmless" level will become effective the first day of the month after immunizations are discontinued. The.PERFORMING AGENCY agrees that: (1) Not less than 20% of total administrative costs will be separately identified and documented as expenditures directly related to nutrition education. Nutrition education expenditures must be supported by documentation of participant attendance or non- attendance. (2) The RECEMNG AGENCY will reimburse the PERFORMING AGENCY for administrative expenses at a rate not greater than five times the amount of properly- ATTACHMENT - Page 5
