The contractor's contract with CMS requires staying within approved budget amounts and
levels of certified funds. It shall analyze its financial position in order to advise CMS, in a
timely manner, of any anticipated significant deviations. In the event the administrative
costs reported in the October-September IER exceed the total approved budget, it shall
furnish documentation justifying the over expenditure to its RO with a copy to CO. The
request for funding will not necessarily be approved.
The CMS reviews justifications for adequacy and, where appropriate and if funding is
available, issues a revised NOBA that enables the contractor to draw additional funds.
The RO may advise the contractor that consideration of a budget revision is postponed
until the FACP is received and analyzed, e.g., where the amount of the over-expenditure
is relatively minor or where the contractor has not justified the over-expenditure. This
does not adversely affect the claim for the funds.
