Federal Compliance
- Developed using guidance provided by the Division of
Cost Allocation (DCA) including the original OPAL Guidelines
for Random Moment Sampling, the Department of Heath and
Human Services (DHHS), and the DCA Public Assistance Cost
Allocation Plan (PACAP) Review Guide
- Generates and sends e-mails and validations at the sample
moment; compensates for multiple time zones
- Sample Summary of Funding Source Report provides the
requisite summary report for federal reporting
- Terms used in SequoiaRMS follow DCA guidelines
- Statistically valid random moment sample and sub-sample
using random moment generator
- Case counts or other agreed upon methods for distributing
effort among multiple funding sources can be included for
allocation purposes
How a Random Moment Sample is Generated
- An Employee is randomly selected
- A moment (minute) between the start and end dates of the period is randomly selected
- If this moment is a designated holiday, another moment is selected
- If this moment does not fall into the employee’s work schedule, another moment is selected
- This process is repeated until a valid moment for this employee is found
- When that happens, the random moment is created
- This process is repeated until the number of desired sample moments is achieved
