The term of the MOU is from July 1, 2013 to and including June 30, 2014. Section 4 of the MOU explains the required duties of the county. Subsection f of Section 4 requires the counties to transmit 50% of the underspent county Title IV-E funds to the IV-E Waiver cash fund and further explains how such cost savings are to be determined. Subsection f of Section 4 concludes by stating: "The Department Division of Child Welfare and Division of Accounting will develop an expenditure, savings, and cost-savings methodology and transmission process in collaboration with the Finance SubPAC and applicable Office of Information Technology personnel (Trails). This MOU will be amended if necessary to conform to the methodology and transmission process." This addendum serves to clarify the cost-savings methodology developed and approved by the Finance SubPAC and further approved by the Child Welfare Allocations Committee established through CRS 26-5-103.5. Subsection f of Section 4 of the MOU is amended as follows: 4. REQUIRED DUTIES OF THE COUNTY f. The County agrees to transmit 50% of the underspent county Title IV-E funds to the Title IV-E Waiver cash fund, as established in CRS 26-5-105.4. Cost savings are determined as follows: The difference between 1) the amount of Title IV-E funds that were claimed for foster care maintenance, case planning and administration and eligibility determination in State Fiscal Year("SFY") 2012-13, and 2) the amount of Title IV-E funds that would have been claimed for foster care maintenance, case planning and administration and eligibility determination in SFY 2013-14, had the State of Colorado not been granted waiver authority by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under Section 1130 of the Social Security Act. i. For the ten counties with the largest caseload size, the methodology for distributing cost savings between counties that have entered into a Title IV-E CIS -���� Waiver Demonstration Project MOU shall be based on the reduction in the number of foster care bed days between SFY 2012-13 and SFY 2013-14; ii. For all other counties that have entered into a Title IV-E Waiver Demonstration MOU with CDHS, the methodology for distributing cost savings between counties that have entered into a Title IV-E Waiver Demonstration Project MOU shall be based on the reduction in the number of foster care bed days between either SFY 2011-12 or SFY 2012-13, and SFY 2013-14, as selected by the County. iii. "Cost savings" shall not include unspent Title IV-E Waiver Demonstration Project funds provided to counties through the MOU for purposes of implementing Waiver Interventions. Any such unspent funds remaining at the end of SFY 2013-14 shall revert to the CDHS and shall be included in the total amount of available funds for counties' SFY 2014-15 IV-E Waiver Demonstration interventions.
