Article I.INTRODUCTION

A. Background. The Resource Justification Model (RJM) is a data collection system that collects Unemployment Insurance (UI) administrative expenditures, from the most recently completed fiscal year (FY), used by state agencies to operate their respective UI programs. The RJM software assists states in compiling information needed as input for the model. The system also provides the National and Regional Offices a compatible automated process to review and analyze the states’ information. Finally, the data collected through the RJM enables the National Office to rationally allocate the funds appropriated by Congress.

States play an integral role in submitting annual budget justifications for their projected operating costs. These submissions are collected and reviewed by the Regional and National Offices. As with RJM’s predecessor, the Cost Model, RJM is workload-based, but with a capacity for annual updates of each state’s data.

RJM’s objectives are to demonstrate states’ true funding need, obtain data to allow for fair and equitable allocation of available funds, replace Cost Model data, have credibility with all stakeholders, reflect all required activities, ensure service with acceptable quality and allow for use of technology and technological change.

B. Concept. The RJM is comprised of two Excel Workbooks. Each state submits sufficiently detailed data, which may be subject to audit, in a structured format. States enter data from their accounting systems into RJM worksheets. The RJM has separate worksheets for each workload function for claims and employer activities, and each non-workload function (e.g., Benefit Payment Control, UI Performs, and Support). For each of these activities, the RJM will calculate the number of staff years needed and the cost per staff year, which includes personal services (PS) and personnel benefits (PB). This cost will be multiplied by the staff years from appropriate workload and non-workload categories and summed over categories to arrive at total personnel compensation costs.

The RJM also addresses non-personal services (NPS) by including forms to display recent requirements. The NPS categories are communications, facilities, computer services, travel, non-ADP (automated data processing) office equipment, supplies, personal service contracts, state indirect costs, and miscellaneous.

Each year, states will enter three year’s worth of information on the RJM worksheets: the previous year, current year and next (budget) year. The data collection files are currently designed to inflate the previous year data by a percentage (currently 3%) twice to bring the previous year’s expenditures up to the current year and next or budget year. The calculations for the current and budget years are automated and require no data entry on the part of the states; however states may overwrite the default percentage increase if they wish. States will submit their data no later than the last Friday in January, for the fiscal year (FY) to begin 8 months later, to allow for sufficient review time. The states’ submissions will be used as

I.- 1

input for the planning targets based on the President’s budget request and the final allocations after Congress appropriates funds.

C. Guiding Principles. The following principles will help ensure consistency of the data.

1. Include only those costs allowable under OMB Circular A-87.

2. Include only expenditures associated with the operation of the regular UI program for 12-month periods ending September 30^th. Include expenditures for UI Performs. Include those costs that are being funded by state funds that would have been appropriately charged to the UI program if sufficient federal dollars had been available.

3. The RJM is designed to capture expenditures that occur during a federal fiscal year. Include resources on order from a prior fiscal year in the year in which they are liquidated.

4. Include as Non-RJM the total amount of Postage allocated in the Previous Year.

5. Include as Non-RJM the total amount of SAVE allocated in the Previous Year.

6. Include as Non-RJM the total amount of Trade Admin allocated in the Previous Year except for PS/PB costs for Trade coordinator – these are allowable.

7. Include as Non-RJM, staff years and dollars earned for multi-claimant nonmonetary determinations and appeals. These are funded from above-base dollars.

8. Include costs reportable on a SF 1099 under an NPS category.

9. Provide supporting documentation for requests for PS\PB increases that exceed 3 percent.

10. Provide supporting documentation for any NPS category that is projected to increase by more than 3 percent.

11. If the state’s functional activity codes differ from the RJM categories, include those costs in the RJM category in accordance with the definitions.

12. If an item is purchased for a primary purpose and has other applications, include it in the RJM category for the primary purpose.

13. If an item can be classified in more than one NPS category, include it in the first category according to the order specified by the definitions.

I.- 2

14. Include purchases made from other state agencies under the appropriate NPS category.

15. State Indirect costs are those charges that all programs receive from outside the agency. This principle applies when there are multiple layers of State Indirect costs.

16. If more than one item is being combined in an agency’s accounting system (either by category or minor object code) and they should be split between two or more RJM categories, then make the best estimate as to how to split those costs.

17. If multiple taxes are collected, then reduce costs in accordance with General Administration Letter 4-91, prior to entering the RJM data; or, include them as Non-RJM. Attach a table that shows the reductions.

18. Convert costs for PS contracts used to provide workload-related staff functions to MPU values and add them to the appropriate functional activity code. Convert costs for PS contracts for non-workload staff functions to staff years and add them to the appropriate functional activity code. See Appendix F-3 for a list of types of PS Contracts that must be converted.

D. Modules. The RJM system has five process modules:

• Module I Data Collection

• Module II Data Review

• Module III Analysis and Evaluation

• Module IV Allocation

• Module V Monitoring

1. Module I - Data Collection. The states will submit their actual operating costs from the fiscal year just completed and projected expenses for the upcoming two fiscal years. Module I consists of two major tasks:

a. Enter data into the RJM Microsoft Excel® worksheets. The worksheets provide a standard format for the submission of data. The worksheets are designed to calculate the total state needs based on the entry of specific data.

b. Compile the notebook that includes the narrative description of the budget request and the conversion of accounting data, and copies of the accounting documents that were used to prepare the request.

2. Module II - Data Review. The National and Regional Offices will conduct a detailed review of states’ submissions. The Regional Offices will ensure that submitted data is accurate through comparisons with cost accounting data and that states’ submissions are treated equitably.

I.- 3

3. Module III - Analysis and Evaluation. The National Office will review the states’ data for consistency and will compile the RJM data for the allocation process.

4. Module IV – Allocation. To distribute the available funds, the National Office will load the refined RJM data into an Excel Spreadsheet that mirrors the allocation methodology contained in the Workload Allocation System (WAS). WAS is the vehicle that has been used to allocate the budget appropriation since the era in which the Cost Model was used for the data inputs. If state requests exceed the funding availability, the National Office will use the current MPU reduction algorithm to reduce staff years and will reduce the non-personal services dollars across-the-board.

5. Module V - Monitoring. Monitoring is a National Office-directed continuing review process focused on data integrity. The analysis and evaluation resulting from Module III of the RJM will provide indicators of areas that are a priority for external review.

II-Using the Worksheets

A. Introduction. The RJM worksheets capture actual costs for the previous FY, and project costs for the current FY and the next or budget FY. Completing previous, current and next FY data in sequential order on each form enables built-in calculations to carry some data forward from one FY to the next. The following paragraphs will explain the structure of the workbooks and how to load and use them. Examples of the worksheets are in Appendix A. Instructions for completion of specific worksheets are contained in Appendix B. It may be useful to view the worksheets side-by-side with their corresponding instruction.

The RJM is comprised of two Excel workbooks:

The RJM Crosswalk workbook captures detailed PS/PB and NPS expenditure data for the most recently completed fiscal year; and provides a worksheet for states to detail PS contracts and allocate contract expenditures that will be converted to an MPU to the appropriate functional activity. The RJM Crosswalk also contains worksheets where states may enter out-year PS/PB increases if they wish to over-ride the 3% default.

The RJM Main workbook captures the expenditure data referred to above in summary format and, after states import Workloads from the Excel file provided by DOL and the detail expenditure data from the RJM Crosswalk workbook, computes PSPB rates, MPU and Staff Years (SY).

Appendix J provides a flow chart displaying the RJM Structure described above.

B. Preparations for Completing the RJM Worksheets.

1. Compile the summary accounting reports for the UI grant (fund ledger codes 210 and 213) and any other reports for fund ledgers that could have been charged to the grant if funding had been available. Include reports for state funds and penalty and interest (P&I) funds that were used for UI administration. Include reports for Trade claims activity (fund ledger code 219). The accounting reports for the previous FY should cover a twelve-month period from October 1 to September 30. Also include reports from FYs prior to the previous FY if prior year obligations were liquidated during the previous FY.

2. If P&I funds or other state funds were used, determine if these were used solely for the UI program or for combined functions. Exclude funds that were not used for the UI program.

3. Complete the Crosswalk Workbook that combines all UI costs from all sources. Show only expenditures that were made during that period, including obligations from previous FYs that were liquidated during the period; exclude unliquidated obligations.

4. Allocate the accounting system direct charges to the RJM codes.

II.- 1

5. Allocate agency indirect charges to the appropriate RJM codes. Agency indirect includes department indirect and cabinet indirect. Exclude state indirect costs.

C. General Information. This section provides general information for the file structure and using the files.

1. File Structure. The file contains worksheets that collect the RJM data and calculations in a format that can be imported to a National Office database. The database will generate summary and statistical reports for data analysis. The diagram below shows the purpose of and the relationships between the RJM files.

2. Loading and Using the RJM Files.

a. System Requirements. The system configuration needed to use the RJM efficiently is as follows:

• MS Windows® 98 or later

• Microsoft Excel® 2002 or later

• 16MB RAM

• 2MB hard drive for RJM files (minimum)

b. Workbook Proficiency Requirements. The procedures for loading and using the workbooks assume an intermediate level of proficiency. It is necessary to understand the concept of cell references and how the value entered in one cell can change the contents of another cell in the same or different worksheets.

c. RJM File Location. The web site at www.ows.doleta.gov/rjm has a current set of the Microsoft Excel® files for downloading.

d. Loading the RJM Excel® Files. Load the Excel® files from the web site and copy them to the hard drive and change the file name. For example, use a file name such as RJMXX.xls, where “XX” is the two-digit state abbreviation. It may be useful to keep an unmodified version of the workbook in case it should become necessary to start over completely or if specific worksheets become corrupted and must be rebuilt. In addition, save the data periodically and create backup copies of the files, including the unmodified RJM file.

e. Data Entry. The RJM worksheets are designed so that data entries are used in formulae to calculate values in other cells or used in cell references to copy the values into other cells. Because data elements are linked to elements in other worksheets and all data elements are required for the Data Export, data entry should occur in a specific order. Worksheets in the crosswalk workbook should be completed first and in the order of the worksheet tabs from left to right, starting with the STARTUPCW worksheet. Worksheets in the main workbook should also be completed in the order of the worksheet tabs from left to right, starting with the ACCTSUM worksheet.

II.- 2

(1) STARTUPCW Worksheet. Data entry for the STARTUPCW worksheet should occur first because key elements from it are linked to every other worksheet within the crosswalk workbook. Also, the data imports to the main RJM workbook which contains worksheets linking to the data as well. To enter the initial key elements:

Select the state’s name from the pull-down list.

Select the state’s accounting system from the pull-down list.

Enter the “Budget Year” (i.e. next year).

Enter the number of hours per workday.

From the value in “Budget Year,” the worksheet calculates the values for the Previous, Current, and Budget (i.e. next) FYs. The files use elements entered or calculated in the STARTUPCW worksheet to fill headings in the other RJM worksheets.

(2) Completing the RJM Worksheets. After entering the key elements into the STARTUPCW worksheet, data entry can begin on the rest of the worksheets within the crosswalk file. After importing the crosswalk data into the main RJM workbook, data entry can begin on the rest of the worksheets within the main RJM workbook. In both files, areas where data entry is required have a cyan background color and a dark border.

3. Worksheet Formats and Conventions.

a. Cell Formats. The Microsoft Excel® worksheets contain cell border and shading formats that help identify the type of action that is required. Presented below are the formats used in the RJM forms. The examples are from 1-UI worksheet found in the RJM Main Workbook (Appendix A).

Item Name from RJM-1 Form	Cell Format	Description of Format	Action Taken to Populate Cell With a Value
TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICE COST		Light border, no shading.	An Excel formula obtains the value through a link to another cell. [Col. B] Excel retrieves the Total Dollars Paid from the DATA worksheet and subtracts from it AS&T Dollars Paid.
TOTAL POSITIONS PAID		Light border, no shading.	An Excel formula obtains the value through a link to another cell. [Col. B] Excel retrieves the Total Positions from the DATA worksheet and subtracts from it AS&T Positions.
STRAIGHT LINE PROJECTED PS COST PER POSITION	$0	No border, no shading.	An Excel formula calculates the value. [Col. C] System calculates RESULT OF (Total Personal Service Cost divided by Total Positions Paid) divided by RESULT OF (Months Reported YTD times 12 Months Per Year)
DOCUMENTED PS INCREASES PER POSITION 1.		No border, gray shading.	No value is placed in the cell. [Col. B] Gray shading indicates no data entry or Excel formulae.

II.- 3

b. Number of Decimal Places. The worksheet cells are formatted to round data to a specific number of decimal places. The table below shows the rounding convention for the cells and the degree of numerical precision needed for data entry.

Data Element	Decimal Places
Dollars	Whole dollars
Positions	2 decimal places
Minutes per Unit (MPU)	3 decimal places
Work hours	2 decimal places
Workload	Whole numbers

c. Pre-Entered Values. Information that applies to the entire budget request package is entered in the STARTUP worksheet. These key data elements are transferred to all worksheets where appropriate and will not have to be entered on each individual worksheet.

Each key RJM element in the STARTUP Worksheet has a defined name. For example, the defined name for the value of State Name is STATENAME, and for Budget Year is BUDGETYR. The means by which the key elements are forwarded from the STARTUP Worksheet to all other worksheets is by use of the defined name in a formula. For example, if a user selects YOURSTATE with the state abbreviation of YS on the STARTUP worksheet, then “YOURSTATE” will appear on the left near the top of each of the other worksheets in the workbook. The formula in those cells is = STATENAME

d. Worksheet Row Numbers and Column Letters. The data element cells in the worksheets are identified by row numbers and column letters. These are referenced in the instructions in Appendix B. For most of the RJM forms, worksheet columns B through D designate the years for which data elements are captured.

Column	Fiscal Year
B	PREVIOUS
C	CURRENT
D	NEXT

4. General Instructions. Data in the worksheets are to include charges to the UI grant, as well as those that were made against state funds, but could have been charged to the UI grant if sufficient resources had been available. The general instructions below pertain to filling out the forms.

a. Cells for Data Entry. Enter data only in cells with a heavy border and cyan background.

b. Cells with Formulae. Data validation checks have been incorporated into the workbooks that will not allow data entry in cells containing formulae. This is to ensure that the integrity of the data is preserved throughout all the worksheets and that the way the data elements are prepared is standardized for all states.

II.- 4

c. Adding or Deleting Rows. Do not add or delete rows in the STARTUPCW worksheet of the crosswalk workbook. Do not insert or delete rows between rows 1 – 9 of the CROSS PSPB, CROSS NPS and PS CONT CROSS worksheets found in the crosswalk workbook. Do not add or delete rows in the 1-XXX INC worksheets of the crosswalk workbook. Do not add or delete rows in any of the worksheets of the main workbook. Do not modify any cell in the worksheets unless it is surrounded by a heavy border and has a cyan background color.

d. Checking Cell Values. When finished with entering data in a worksheet, ensure the values in the linked cells are correct. The instruction worksheets indicate which cells contain links to other cells. The instruction will state, “system imports from.” Find the referenced cell in the appropriate worksheet and see if the value contained in it copied over correctly. Check the calculations to ensure that the results are correct and reconcile in summary to source documents. For worksheets with no data entry cells, check calculations and links as described above. Lastly, ensure that the bottom line numbers make sense.

III-NOTEBOOK

A. Purpose. All RJM data are subject to review. The RJM notebooks are designed to provide a documented audit trail on the methods and documents a state used to compile their RJM. The notebook should be compiled so that anyone with a general knowledge of accounting and the RJM system can review a state’s data and determine the source of data from the state’s accounting system, how it was converted to the RJM format, and how adjustments were made. This will provide a source for review and also provide the state agency staff with a record of how the RJM was compiled. This will also provide continuity since state agencies normally experience staff turnover and the staff that completed the RJM may not be available to assist in the review or to prepare the following year’s RJM. States should make a minimum of three copies of their notebooks. States should retain one notebook, and send one copy to the regional office and one copy to the national office.

B. Description. The RJM notebook should include a narrative that describes the budget request and attachments that include the accounting reports used and documents that show how calculations were made to convert accounting data into the RJM format. The instructions in Appendix B discuss the accounting reports needed.

C. Accounting Records. ETA does not prescribe the type of time distribution and accounting systems that state agencies should use to generate the required data; however, the systems used must be capable of providing accurate data in the required detail. With states having the latitude to use the systems of their choice, this presents problems in compiling data at the national level and comparing states’ data. In order for the Office of Workforce Security (OWS) to receive data in a uniform manner, the RJM system was developed with standardized worksheets. In order for states to complete the RJM, they must convert their existing accounting data to conform to the categories for the RJM. Total UI Expenditures for the Previous Year reported by a state in its RJM submission should equal, or come close to equaling, what the state reported on its SF 269s. States must explain and resolve any differences.

D. Format and Instructions. The notebook should be organized in a manner that will allow the review process to proceed efficiently. Each section of the notebook should include a step by step documentation of how the data for the corresponding worksheet was converted from the state’s accounting records to the RJM format, copies of the source document for that data, and a copy of any calculation or adjustments that were made. It is important that states include detailed documentation, especially for formula generated figures, to ensure the state has provided the reviewer with a complete and traceable audit trail. The notebooks should have tabs to divide the sections and should follow and be labeled according to the numbering scheme that is described below. Tabs should also be labeled with the appropriate content description (Tab Name). Notebooks should include the name of the state on both the front cover and on the spine.

III.- 1

NOTE: States should note in the appropriate tab(s) how much in non-federal dollars was added to the grant or grant request. For example, any non-federal dollars added to NPS should be specified by amount in the NPS SOURCE tab.

PERSONAL SERVICES/PERSONNEL BENEFIT INCREASES (1-AST INC - 1-SUP INC)

Each of the following worksheets requires the same basic methodology to complete. The instructions below apply to each. Data entered on the 1-AST INC Columns A, B, C, and D will automatically populate the corresponding cells in the other worksheets. The system works on the assumption that all functional activity codes would receive the same type of increase. If there are different increases for different functional activities, then change the incorrect data on the appropriate worksheet. The system defaults a 3% increase (inflated twice) to arrive at the PS/PB rate for the Budget (Next) Year. States may change the percentage(s)/formula(s) if they wish to reflect a different projected PS/PB rate.

• 1-AST INC – AS&T

• 1-IC INC – Initial Claims

• 1-WK INC – Weeks Claimed

• 1-NMD INC – Non Monetary Determinations

• 1-APP INC – Appeals

• 1-WR INC – Wage Records

• 1-TAX INC – Tax

• 1-BPC INC – Benefit Payment Control

• 1-UIP INC – UI Performs

• 1-SUP INC – Support

Purpose:

The RJM provides a method for states to request increases in personnel service costs and personnel benefit costs. These calculations have to be based on legislation, union agreements, state published increases or based on an established historical pattern of the state. States are permitted to include those anticipated increases if the state can provide a detailed justification on how the state determined the increases.

The 1-AST INC through 1-SUP INC worksheets are designed to allow the state to calculate its request for increases in personal services (PS) and/or personnel benefits (PB). Examples of PS/PB Increase calculations can be found in Appendix I of the RJM Handbook No. 410.

RJM-1

COST PER POSITION

Purpose:

These worksheets calculate the costs per position by year for Personal Services (PS) and Personnel Benefits (PB) for each functional activity.

Data Source:

The data for this worksheet is imported from the RJM-DATA worksheet.

Supporting Documentation Requirements:

Approved budgets, position reclassifications, collective bargaining agreements, and legislative resolutions

Procedures:

There are eleven RJM-1 Cost Per Position worksheets, one for each functional activity code and one for total UI Positions, which is all positions less AS&T.

Total Personal Service Cost – total salaries and wages (as defined under the guiding principles of RJM) of all positions by functional activity charged to the UI grant. If cost is not available by functional activity, use average cost of all UI Program (excluding AS&T) positions. Calculate cost per AS&T position separately.

Total Positions Paid – the total positions funded by the UI Program (e.g., all permanent and seasonal positions charged directly to the UI grant) by functional activity.

Documented PS Increases Per Position – documented (e.g., legislative enactment, reclassification requests approved by the state, collective bargaining agreements, etc.) increases per position in salaries and wages of all positions charged to the UI grant in the Current, Next, and Request Years (e.g., cost of living increases, position reclassifications, pay range increases).

Total Personal Benefit Cost – total fringe benefits of all positions by functional activity charged to the UI grant.

Documented PB Increases Per Position – documented (e.g., legislative enactment, reclassification requests approved by the state, collective bargaining agreements, etc.) increases per position in fringe benefits of all positions that are charged to the UI grant in the Current, Next, and Request Years (e.g., cost of living increases, approved position reclassifications, pay range increases).

RJM-2

BASE NON-PERSONAL SERVICES (NPS)

Purpose:

This worksheet summarizes NPS costs into ten categories. The Previous Fiscal Year information represents base and above base expenditures. The Current and Next Fiscal Years information represents base expenditures only.

Data Source:

The data source for this worksheet is the state’s accounting system. Data is imported from CROSS NPS & PS CONT CROSS for Previous Fiscal Year.

Supporting Documentation Requirements:

Completion of CROSS NPS worksheet is required to provide a cross-reference between the state’s accounting system object codes to the RJM NPS categories. For Current Fiscal Year and Next Fiscal Year, the entry for each category requires an explanation in an associated narrative document explaining the method of calculation and the basis for any increases greater than the 3% default.

Procedures:

For Previous Fiscal Year, the data is imported from the RJM Crosswalk and should include usage even if reimbursed from non-traditional sources such as state funding.

The NPS categories are listed in Column A. The order in which these categories are presented is important. Starting at the top (Row 16) and proceeding down to Row 33, a state object should be placed in the first category that is germane. In most cases it is expected that only one category will be pertinent. The category of last resort is Miscellaneous; ideally, this category should be zero. These numbers are imported for the Previous Year.

RJM-3

Workload

Purpose:

This worksheet provides historical data and projections for UI workload. The worksheet includes the six major workload items (also referred to as broadband activities). The workload information will be used in the following worksheets: RJM-4-IC through RJM-4-TAX, Minutes Per Unit, Initial Claims through Tax; RJM-5-MPU Position Requirements; and in the RJM-6.

Data Source:

For the Previous Year, the data will be obtained from the following reports.

• Initial Claims: ETA 5159, Columns 2, 3, 5, & 7, Rows 101 through 103

• Weeks Claimed: ETA 5159, Columns 10 and 12, Rows 201 through 203

• Non-Monetary Determination Activities: ETA207, Column 1, Rows 101, 103, and 103

• Benefit Appeals: ETA 5130, Column 1-6, Row 100

• Wage Records: ETA 581, Column 5, Row 101

• Subject Employers: ETA 581, Column 3, Row 101 (March report)

The Office of Workforce Security will provide the official workload to be used in the RJM. This data file can be downloaded from www.ows.doleta.gov/rjm. The file should be saved using the file name provided by OWS.

The file will contain the name of the file and the date the file was compiled. The preliminary workload file should be available in December. States should download this file to determine if they agree with the Previous Year workloads that have been calculated by OWS. If a state does not agree with their Previous Year, they should review all of the attached tables to attempt to determine where the discrepancies might have occurred. Differences could occur for several reasons: late filing of reports, not filing a report or an amended report has not been added to the database. Once the state has determined that a correction is needed, they need to inform their regional office that will then inform the appropriate OWS staff of the problem. The preliminary workload will be updated periodically as corrections to the Informix database are made. The new workload file will be posted to the website and should be downloaded for review. The Current Year workload will be the base workloads previously assigned. The Next Year workloads will be the same as used in the previous budget cycle. These workloads will be recalculated by OWS prior to the final workload allocation. The final base workloads will be available on the OWS website by January 12 each year. The total base workloads that OWS has to distribute are a fixed figure. Individual state’s base workloads are adjusted based on projections of each state’s proportional total workload to the total base workload.

The final workload file must be imported prior to submission of the RJM worksheets to OWS.

Supporting Documentation Requirements: None

Procedures: All of the information for the worksheet will be imported from a workbook provided by OWS.

Click on the “Import Workloads” button that is located on Rows 4-5, left side of the worksheet. Identify the most recent workload file you have downloaded and click on that file. The system will import the workload data and will replace previous data.

Row 7 - System displays the name of the file.

Row 8 - System displays the date the file was updated.

APPENDIX D

FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY CODES

After determining the costs that can be included in the RJM, allocate those costs to the ten functional activity codes and nine NPS categories. The coding structure below shows what costs are to be included in each category. Each state should develop its own system of converting its accounting data to the RJM format. While each state is responsible for designing its own system, it is suggested that a worksheet be developed to show how the data is crosswalked. The system that the state chooses to use in converting its data from its system to the RJM system must be documented and designed so that a reviewer will be able to trace the data conversion.

ET Handbook No. 362 documented the functional activity codes for workforce agencies. The RJM has condensed these codes for the RJM system to ten functional activities. The functional activity codes used in the RJM have been modified to include current terminology and to include additional tasks that were not covered in ET Handbook 362.

Activity Code Principles

1. Charge time directly to a specific functional activity when possible.

2. Charge training on a specific function to that functional activity code.

3. Charge direct supervision of a specific function to that functional activity code. This includes direct or first level supervision of operating functions. All time spent on supervising a direct activity, even though an individual may supervise more than one (i.e., initial claims and weeks claimed), should be charged proportionally to the codes.

4. Charge travel associated with a functional activity to that functional activity code.

5. Charge ADP programming services for specific functional activities to that activity.

6. Charge time for system administrators and operators for activities such as scanner and voice response systems to the specific functional activity code.

7. Charge time spent on maintaining files to the specific functional activity.

8. Charge time to AS&T function codes when such time cannot be directly charged to a program’s functional activity code.

9. Include only the UI portion of AS&T charges.

APPENDIX G

SPLITTING OF TIME CHARGES

The RJM is designed to calculate each state’s need for 10 functional activity codes. States that have time codes that do not correspond with the functional activity codes that are used in the RJM will need to align their codes with those in the RJM. The states are the best source of distributing these charges between the functional activity codes that have been established for the RJM.

States are encouraged to modify the time charge codes to gather this data to at least the level of the 10 functional activity codes established for the RJM. Those states that currently gather data at a more detailed level should continue. It is much easier to add codes together than to split codes.

There are two basic methods that states can use to allocate time charges, positions, personal service dollars and personnel benefit dollars to the RJM functional activity codes. If a state determines that one of these two methods does not present an accurate allocation of the time and costs, they may develop another method to allocate the time charges and document their procedures. The one basic concept that must be followed in the allocation of charges is that the sum of the charges distributed to the RJM functional activity codes must equal the total. Once the time has been distributed between the appropriate RJM functional activity codes, those totals will be exported to the appropriate RJM-1 and RJM-4 forms.

Once the positions have been allocated to the functional activity codes, the corresponding percent of PS and PB dollars will be assigned using the corresponding ratio.

Once the time has been distributed, states are encouraged to test their data by calculating the MPU that will be derived for all activities using the formula: Hours * 60 / workload = MPU

Step 1

Determine the total amount of time\positions in the specific state time code that is to be distributed.

Step 2

Determine to which RJM functional activity this block of time\positions should be distributed.

G-1

Step 3

Determine which method best demonstrates the state’s cost for the activity.

• Percent method

• Specific allocation method

• State defined methodology

PERCENT METHOD:

Step 4

Assign a specific percentage of time to each of the activity codes that were determined in Step 2. This percent can be derived from a state study, a percent that has historically been funded, or a state’s best estimate.

Step 5

Apply these percents to the total time\positions in Step 1.

Example:

Time Code 210200 Claims Taking:

Total Hours Paid Total PS $ Total PB $ Total Hours Worked

300,000 $4,100,000 $1,100,000 255,000

Distribute 70% to Initial Claims and 30% to Weeks Claimed (historical experience)

SPECIFIC ALLOCATION METHOD:

Step 4

Assign a specific MPU to the functional activity code. States might have conducted a special study when they converted to a new system and know the MPU for a specific activity.

Step 5

Multiply the MPU value times the workload for that functional activity and divide by 60 to calculate number of hours used.

Formula:

Hours * 60 / workload = MPU

G-2

Step 6

Subtract the number of hours calculated in Step 4 from the total hours in Step 1.

Example:

Time Code 210200 Claims Taking:

Total Hours Paid Total PS $ Total PB $ Total Hours Worked

300,000 $4,100,000 $1,100,000 255,000

Total Positions = Total Hours Paid/Total Hours for PY = 300,000/2,096 = 143.13

Total Hrs Worked per Position = Total Hrs Worked/Total Positions = 255,000/143.13 = 1,781.60

Total PS Cost per Position = Total PS $/Total Positions = $4,100,000/143.13 = $28,645.29

Total PB Cost per Position = Total PB $/Total Positions = $1,100,000/143.13 = $7,685.32

Initial Claims:

MPU = 38.54

Workload = 280,200

Hours Worked = 179,982 (38.54*280,200/60)

Positions = 101.02 (38.54*280200/1781.60*60)

Hours Paid = 211,743 (101.02*2,096)

PS $ = $2,893,747 (101.02*$28,645.29)

PB $ = $776,371 (101.02*$7,685.32)

Weeks Claimed:

MPU = 2.7

Workload = 1,667,070

Hours Worked = 75,018 (2.7*1,667,070/60)

Positions = 42.11 (2.7*1,667,070/1781.60*60)

Hours Paid =88,257 (42.11*2,096)

PS $ = $1,206,253 (42.11*$28,645.29)

PB $ = $323,629 (42.11*$7,685.32)

Calculating Personal Service and Personnel Benefit Increases

The RJM provides a method for states to request increases in personnel service costs and personnel benefit costs. These calculations must be based on legislation, union agreements, state published increases, or the state’s established historical pattern. States are permitted to include those anticipated increases if they can provide a detailed justification to show how they determined the increases.

If an increase occurs on October 1 of a fiscal year, then it is a simple calculation of multiplying the percent increase by the ending cost for the previous year.

Ending salary Previous Year $40,000

Percent increase .06

Total salary for Current Year $42,400

In the case where an increase occurs during some other month other than the first month of the fiscal year, a portion of the raise will be allocated proportionally over the next twelve months.

Ending salary Previous Year $40,000

Percent increase .06

Increase per month $200

Number of months that the raise is effective 9

Increase in Current year $1,800

Total salary for Current Year $41,800

Increase for Next Year

Increase per month $200

Number of months that the raise is effective 3

Increase in Current year $600

If an increase occurred during the Previous Year, other than on Oct 1, a portion of that raise is include in the Previous Year and the remaining portion of the raise should be included in the Current Year calculation. A determination has to be made on the average PS as of the effective date of the increase. The following formula will be used for this determination.

Average PS per position for Previous year APS

Percent increase I

Months the raise was effective in Previous year M

I-1

Average PS before increase PSB

PSB = APS / 1 + (I * (M / 12))

Personnel service cost per position-Previous Year $42,480

Percent Increase .05

Effective date of increase-July 1

Months that the increase was in effect-Previous Year 3

PSB = $42,480 / 1 + (.05 * (3/12))

PSB = $41,956

Proof:

Average salary as of July 1 $41,956

Percent Increase .05

Monthly increase $174.73

Months increase in effect 3 $524

Personnel service cost per position-Previous Year $42,480

Months increase in effect Current Year 9

Monthly increase $174.73

Requested increase for Current Year $1,573

There are two basic types of personnel benefit increases. There would be an increase in personnel benefit dollars as a result of an increase in personal service dollars. This may not be the same percent as a regular personnel benefits increase, as personnel benefits ratios usually consist of a fixed percent for some items and a cost per position for others.

Example:

FICA 7.65

Retirement match 6.00

Health insurance (per position $975)/42480 2.30

Total PB rate 15.95

In this example only the 7.65 for FICA and the 6.00 for retirement match would the BP increases as a result of the PS increase or $215.

The other type of increase in PB dollars is the result of an increase in the rate that is applied to the entire PS rate and an increase in the rate or an increase in cost per position. Examples would be the state increasing the retirement match from 6.0% to 6.5% or the cost of health increasing from $975 per year to $1,300 per year.
