Portland Area OfficeTribal Shares Methodology Services Appropriation
Area Shares vs. Program Funding Services Appropriation • The Portland Area Shares Methodology represents each tribes share of the Area Office which they are authorized to assume pursuant to the Indian Self Determination & Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA). • Tribal program funds are distributed on the recurring base amounts reflected on their annual funding agreements.
Area Shares Methodology • Established through Tribal Consultation • In 1992 amendments to the Indian Self Determination & Education Assistance Act authorized IHS to enter into compacts for Self-Governance demonstration projects. • In 1994 amendments provided Title1 access to resources. • In 1995 The “70/30 formula” for tribal shares. • In 2000 corrections to methodology was made to prevent diminishment of administrative support for Direct Service Tribes which established the Service Unit Administration (SUA) amounts.
Area Shares Methodology • Health Services dollars • Does not determine OEHE shares – Line 67 • Separate methodologies more appropriate for the type of funding
Goals of Tribal Shares Methodology • Reflects one methodology for all Tribes: fairness & consistency • Identifies each Tribe’s share of the funding that had previously supported Area Office functions but which they have now assumed – including funding received for Tribes newly restored • Prevents diminishment of health services to Tribes that choose to continue to have a federally-operated clinic • Allows for annual updates to accurately reflect available resources • Easily understood
Lines 1 - 69 • Reflect the programs and services the Area Office had at a moment in time • Most services remain, some do not, some new ones • During negotiations Tribes decide what they want the Area to continue to provide e.g., DIRM, Business Office,
Column APAO Budget • A historical benchmark that began in FY 1995/96 • Starting point for calculation of the rest of the methodology • Mandatories added each subsequent year • Different from Area Office operating budget • Column A minus all shares taken • Plus non-recurring funds and assessment funds
Column B • Congressional Earmarks • Site Specific • Diabetes Consultants – Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA)
Column CArea Office Residual • Inherent Federal Functions (not contractible by Tribes) • What the Area Office will continue to be responsible for, once all Tribes have taken 100% of shares • These responsibilities have greatly expanded/changed • Information Technology • 9/11 – Security Costs • Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) • Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) • Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
Column DService Unit Administration (SUA) • Funding required to support federally-operated service units beyond the shares left by Tribes who choose to have a Federal facility • IHS still required to provide services to Direct Service Tribes.
SUA Calculation Factors • New Workload Study - Time Spent on SU/Tribes/Area Office • Value Time S&B • Divide by Total Budgets for 7 SU • 13.3% Admin Cost for Program Support • 1.6% Admin Cost for CHS Program
SUA Example Wellpinit Service UnitSpokane Tribe $1,333,949 Recurring Base $1,423,600 CHS Base • x 13.3% x 1.6% • $177,415 $ 22,778 • $177,415 + $22,778 = $200,193 • Spokane 106(a)(1) – $157,749 • SUA Needed $ 42,444
What does SUA Pay For? Administrative Support for Federal Service Units and misc. programs without associated shares • Financial services • Budget, Travel, Payments, reconciliation, Collections • Property and Supply • Acquisitions - Federal purchasing • Personnel - Recruitment, hiring, benefits, payroll • Supervision - Evaluation, appeals, discipline, policy development and enforcement, governance • EEO
Column E106(a) (1) Amount • Column A – columns b, c, and d = e • Section of P.L. 93-638 which reads • SEC. 106 [25 USC 450j-1]. (a)(1) The amount of funds provided under the terms of self-determination contracts entered into pursuant to this Act shall not be less than the appropriate Secretary would have otherwise provided for the operation of the programs or portions thereof for the period covered by the contract, without regard to any organizational level within the Department of the Interior or the Department of Health and Human Services, as appropriate, at which the program, function, service, or activity or portion thereof, including supportive administrative functions that are otherwise contractible. is operated. • 70/30 calculation determines Tribal shares • 30% of funding divided by 40 • 70% divided based on 1998 user population
Column FTitle I Retained • What it costs to administer a Title I contract that is additional to a Title V compact • Area Staff responsible for proposal review, negotiations, amendments, audit review, resolution and payments. • This amount is subtracted from Title I Tribes 106(a)(1) amount • Title V Tribes do not leave shares to support T1 Retained
Column GFundable Amount • Tribal Shares available for contracting/compacting • Title I Tribes 70/30 share of column E minus a pro rata share of Title I retained
Column GFundable Amount • Forty Tribes • No Fundable Amount for Tribes with an Associated SUA • Takes all their shares to support SU & Title I contracts • If Tribes with an SUA amount take shares, the SU will assist in providing administrative support necessary for the operation of that SU
Direct Service Tribes • It requires All Yakama, Colville, Spokane, Warm Springs, Shoshone Bannock 106(a)(1) amounts plus the SUA to support these operating units • Yakama, Colville, Ft. Hall, Warm Springs, Wellpinit, Western Oregon, NPAIHB, Healing Lodge of the Seven Nations. • 43 Tribes have to leave $798,533 to support SUA
Individual Tribal Shares • Where you look to see your Tribe’s share amounts • Newly recognized Tribes received a specific amount for base funding and shares • Have to track separately • Can not reduce contracted shares
Footnotes and Background Information • Tracks historical changes to the methodology • Describes how AIDS, Alcohol and Substance Abuse, CHS Purchase of Service funding amounts are distributed • Tables on last three pages
