Budgets

All budgets must be submitted using the approved DSHS budget template. Funds cannot be moved from Administrative Cost to Participant Reimbursement or vice versa without submitting an amendment. A variance of more than 10 percent of each budget line item requires a contract amendment. Please see the website for additional information regarding the budget, due dates, and requirements. If you are requesting a budget funds transfer of 10% or less, you must request the change with your Program Manager who must have it approved by Fiscal and finally your Contract Summary Report must be updated. Budgets are due to DSHS no later than June 15 for review in order to be incorporated into Washington’s State Plan.

Amendments

Budget amendment requests are allowable through the end of FFY Quarter 3 (June 30). Amendment requests are not guaranteed. To request a budget amendment, submit an updated budget workbook with a detailed explanation of any changes and justifications. It must be emailed to one of the following:
