FAQs

What changes are included for SFY2021 wage reporting?

SFY2021 wage reporting includes no change to the file, data fields, attestation, or mandated expenditures compared with the prior presentation, while recoupment calculations are addressed.

How should facilities use the “Attestation and Wage Schedule” Excel template for SFY2021?

Use a single Excel file with four sheets (Attest Baseline, CNA Wage Base, Attest Final, CNA Wage Final). Review informational fields on “Attest Final” and enter final wage schedule details on “CNA Wage Final,” including the CNA Type drop-down.

How is additional revenue allocated when calculating the “Attest Final” fields?

The template captures the reporting-period impact by using calculated wages, bonuses/supplemental pay from the wage schedule, and bonuses/supplemental pay not on the wage schedule, then totals the full additional compensation for the period.
