Pro Rata Costs - General Rule
4504 - Pro Rata Costs - General Rule
(Rev. 1, 05-21-04)
The general rule for prorating costs is that the share apportioned to the State survey
program shall not exceed an amount that reflects the ratio of total monies disbursed for
personnel services in the State survey program to the total monies disbursed for personnel
services in the agency’s total program. This total includes the total monies disbursed for
personnel services in the State survey program and is based on the calendar quarter for
which a report is prepared. This general rule applies except as expressly modified
elsewhere.
The basis for apportioning shared costs is a matter of record. All pro rata allocations are
to be supported by documentation maintained by the SA. (See §§4508.B and 4510.B.)
