ATTACHMENT A
JEFFERSON COUNTY MHICD TREATMENT TAX FUNDING-
MATCH POLICY
on October 14, 20 13 Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners (B oCC) adopted the
following language in the allocation of the Mental Health Chemical Dependency treatment
dollars.
Agencies may not use Jef f(rson County mental health counly l chemical d y )
endency
treatment tax,fiindsfbr match, without prior authorization of their match,lbrmula and
allocation use, approved by the JqIferson County Administrator and fiscal team. The
match may not be used without written permission.
Definitions:
Match: is a requirement for the grantee to provide contributions of a specified amount or
percentage to match funds provided by another grantor. Matching can be in the form of
cash or in-kind contributions.
Auditors Objective: To determine whether the match amount or percentage of
contributions from JC is an allowable source of funding and that the vendor has an
accurate accounting system to track the match.
Regulations: The specific requirements for matching funds are unique to each federal or
state program. The A -102 Common Rule provides criteria for acceptable costs and
contributions in regard to match.
Jefferson County Policy:
In 2005, the Washington State Legislature created an option for counties to raise the local sales
tax by 0,1 percent., (the 1/10th of 1% sales tax initiative) to augment state funding for trienfial
health and clicinical (lependency treatment. Je[Ierson County collects and distributes the Mental
I lealih/Chemical Dependency (MH/CD) tax. Services purchased by the County are allocated
through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process, review and contracting; staffed by
Jefferson County Public Health, overseen by Jefferson County Mental Health Substance Abuse
Fund Advisory Committee and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, (BOCC). The
BOCC does not assume any fiscal responsibility/liability for any of the vendors they contract for
services with. Services leveraged by a vendor using tax as match have no oversight or
agency relationship to Jefferson County; funding cannot be used without prior authorization of
the vendor's match formula and allocation by the Jefferson County Administrator and fiscal
team.
Safe Harbor Recovery Center-2014 10
Following state, federal and local guidelines for match is the responsibility of the vendor.
Jefferson County will follow all administrative policies in authorizing that use. If a vendor is
disallowed the use of funds for match according to the State of Washington or the federal
government, Jefferson County funds will not be available as matching funds.
For example, if a vendor provides Title XIX Medicaid services (the Policy
19,50.02 or 42CFR 430.30) they will not be allowed the use of match without
actually billing Medicaid for the services at the same time. If no Medicaid billing
exists, the match cannot be applied.
-rhe County shall verify that the local entity's financial reporting system tracks
matching funds at a level to support the use of funds; that meets the level of
documentation required by federal or state statutes.
The verification and application process for Match use within the County will include the
following steps.,
I , DSHS requires contractors to complete and submit a "Local Match Certification"
form (DSHS 06-155) or a form that has equivalent data elements prior to any
agreement for DSHS services. The County must review a copy of this application
and form prior to granting match authorization of MH/CD funds for Match and at
each monthly billing.
2, Submit the current administrative policy within WA State regulating your services
and the use of local match,
3. Submit to the County your last financial audit showing your use of match,
County funds and tracking systems.
4. Submit to the County the terms of the agreement to ascertain the MH/CD
allocation is an allowable source of match.
The County Administrator will authorize or deny the use of match in writing
within 30 days of the application.
