ATTACHMENT A
JEFFERSON COUNTY 1/10th of 1% BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SALES TAX
FUNDING -
MATCH POLICY
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.
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 / 1 Oth of 1 % sales tax initiative) to augment state funding for
behavioral health treatment. Jefferson County collects and distributes the 1/10'h of 1%
Behavioral Health Sales Tax fund. 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 Behavioral Health Advisory Committee
and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, (BOCC). BOCC does not assume any
fiscal responsibility/liability for any of the Contractors they contract for services with.
Jefferson County reserves the first right to use as match the 1/1Oth of 1% Behavioral Health
Sales Tax funds and the services funded by them for purposes of qualifying for additional
funding and grants. County may make available to the Contractor the 1/101h of 1% Behavioral
Health Sales Tax funds for the Contractor to propose as match to state, federal or other
entities, at the County's sole discretion. Contractor shall not use the 1/10th of 1% Behavioral
Health Sales Tax funds for match without prior authorization by the Jefferson County
Administrator and County fiscal team. To request authorization of availability of the funds
for match, Contractor must apply to the County Administrator in writing, and include their
match formula and allocation plan and may include other documentation to support their
request. The County Administrator will authorize or deny the availability of match funds in
writing within 30 days of the application.
If the County informs the Contractor of the availability of the 1/1 Oth of 1% Behavioral Health
Sales Tax funds for match, then the Contractor shall be solely responsible for compliance with
all state and federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to DSHS, CMS and BIRR
funding rules, applicable to the use of 1/10'h of 1% Behavioral Health Sales Tax funds as
match. Following state, federal and local guidelines for match is the responsibility of the
Contractor.
Professional Services Agreement GATEWAY TO FREEDOM/ 2021 2022 Page 17 of 18
For example, if a Conuactor provides Title XIX Medicaid servi%,cs (the Policy 19.50.02 or
42CFR 430.30) they are required by those rules to actually bill Medicaid for the services at
the same time. If no Medicaid billing exists, the match would not comply with state and
federal guidelines for match.
Concurrent with its request for authorization of the availability of match, Contractor shall
document it has met its responsibility to follow state, federal and local guidelines for match by
submitting in writing to the County Administrator their match formula, allocation plan, and
other documentation made mandatory pursuant to this Agreement and this Attachment A. At
a minimum, the Contractor shall also provide the following to the County Administrator:
1. 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. Submit a copy of this application
and form when requesting match availability from the County 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 showing the MH/SA
allocation is an allowable source of match.
5. Provide documentation that your financial reporting system tracks matching
funds at a level that meets the level of documentation required by federal or
state statutes.
The County may reject permission for Contractor to utilize the 1/101h of 1 %Behavioral Health
Sales Tax funding as match.
