DADE AND MONROE COUNTIES
CERTIFICATION FOR RETROACTIVE PAYMENT
A. BACKGROUND
Sub-recipient contracts are updated yearly to reflect any pertinent changes required as a result of new
contract terms or programmatic and/or administrative requirements set down by the Department of Elder
Affairs for the Alliance and its sub-recipients. Due to the late date on which the Alliance received its
CCE contract for 2001-2002 from the Department, the sub-contract with Monroe County Social Services
was not forwarded to the sub-recipient until June 27,2001.
B. JUSTIFICATION
. Although an executed contract was not in place until August 2, 2001 the sub-recipient is requesting
payment for services provided to clients between July 1 and August 1, 2001.
The procurement policies followed by the Alliance for payment of contractual services make allowance
for retroactive payment when timely execution of a contract can not be achieved due to unforeseen
circumstances beyond the control of the Alliance and its sub-contractor. The health and welfare of
elderly consumers must also be at risk.
Since needed services were provided to existing clients, the provider's request for retroactive payment
should be granted since the expense was incurred in good faith for services approved in the Service
Provider Application submitted to the Alliance for 2001.
C. CERTIFICATION
Approval for retroactive payment is granted for services rendered to CCE clients during the time
period in question. Payment shall be on a one-time basis only.
