On August 6th issued a revised Cost Report forms and Instructions which are to be used for the completion of the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Cost Reports.

If you have not received the new forms and instructions you should send a request to ODP.

A few of the highlights are:

• The form name has been changed from MR-46 to ID-46.
• The prior year approved funding columns have been removed from Schedule 11.
• Schedule 1B has been eliminated.
• Schedule 13 reporting requirements for leases have been eliminated for leases under $5,000

The only items which will require reporting of new data elements are:

• Accumulated Depreciation roll forward information (should be readily available from your Plant Ledger)
• Cost of Day Program services obtained from a Related Organization (not a new issue, simply a standardized place to calculate any necessary adjustments)

All Cost Report Preparers and CFO’s are encouraged to read the 2-page ‘2018 Changes to ICF Cost Report.pdf’ attachment for a complete list of the change highlights.
