The Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) was placed in operation to prevent interest earnings on Federal funds. Section 31 CFR Part 205 “Rules and Procedures for Efficient Federal-State Funds Transfers” states that methods and procedures for payment must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United States Treasury to the State and ultimately to the pass-through entity. Therefore, DESE must ensure that payments to the pass-through entity are for reimbursements only. DESE must monitor payments to assure that they conform to the Federal regulations. This applies to both monthly payment requests and final expenditure report (FER) payments. DESE does not allow advance payments.
