Audit 45045

Title: COVID-19 - Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal award activity of Mental Health Connecticut, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Corporation") under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance"). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Corporation, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Corporation. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The Corporation has elected to not use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. For the HHS awards related to the Provider Relief Fund ("PRF") and American Rescue Plan ("ARP") Rural Distribution program, HHS has indicated the amounts on the Schedule be reported corresponding to reporting requirements of the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal. Payments from HHS for PRF are assigned to 'Payment Received Periods' (each, a Period) based upon the date each payment from the PRF was received. Each Period has a specified Period of Availability and timing of reporting requirements. Entities report into the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal after each Period's deadline to use the funds (i.e., after the end of the Period of Availability). The schedule includes $90,222 received from HHS between July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. In accordance with guidance from HHS, the full amount represents Period 2. Such amounts were recognized as grant revenue in the year expensed in the consolidated financial statements but included in this year's federal single audit report as expended as required by the compliance guide. The Provider Relief Funds of $90,222 related to Period 2 were included on the 2021 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards ("SEFA"). Per guidance released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in July 2021, recipients of the Provider Relief Funds for Period 2 with a June year-end should have disclosed these amounts in the 2022 SEFA.
