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 for each budget line item requires a contract amendment. Please see the website for additional information regarding the budget, due dates, and requirements. Budgets are due to DSHS no later than June 15, for review, and are incorporated in 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 submit a budget amendment request, an updated budget workbook with a detailed explanation of changes, and justification must be emailed to the following:
