How are rollover SAH funds calculated when closing a quarter?

Rollover funds are calculated when a quarter is closed, but only after the required processing timeframe has passed. This can be done using the Close Quarter button in the portal. 

  • The system enforces a 60-day threshold from the end of the quarter, with an additional 2-day allowance. Rollover calculations will only occur after this period.

  • If you close a quarter before the threshold date, the system will prevent the action and display an error message.



How is the participant’s rollover amount calculated?
The rollover amount is based on the participant’s Remaining Balance at the end of the quarter, with a cap applied depending on their budget. The rollover amount will be limited to:
$1,000 or 10% of the participant’s quarterly budget (whichever is higher)


Rollover Cap Rule
  1. If the remaining balance is less than or equal to $1000, then the full remaining amount rolls over.
  2. If the remaining balance is more than $1000, compare $1000 with 10% of the quarterly budget, and roll over whichever amount is higher.
Sample Scenarios
Scenario 1 : Simple Rollover with One Funding Source

Scenario 1 : Simple Rollover with One Funding Source

This scenario demonstrates a rollover process using a single eligible funding source. It shows how remaining balances are rolled over based on the rollover cap rule.


Funding Setup

A participant has a single funding source: Support At Home – Level 1.

Step 1 : Review Existing Statements

Open the November and December statements and confirm the remaining balance at the end of the quarter. This balance will determine the rollover amount. See How to Generate SAH Statements.


November


December

Step 2: Close All Remaining Periods

Click the Finalize & Send Statement button to lock the period. The quarter cannot proceed to closure unless all periods are finalised.


Step 3: Close the Quarter (Rollover Process)

Close the quarter using the Close Quarter action. The system will calculate the remaining Support At Home balance and apply the rollover rules.

Step 4: Verify Rolled-Over Funding

When you do a requote, the fee item associated with the rollover amount will automatically appear. The rollover amount is $89.89 because the rule applies: if the remaining balance is less than or equal to $1,000, the full remaining amount will roll over.

Step 5: Review January Statement

Confirm that the rollover amount appears in the January statement as Carry Over Funding From Past Periods.



Scenario 2: Assistive Technology Excluded

Scenario 2: Assistive Technology Excluded

This scenario demonstrates that Assistive Technology funding is excluded from rollover calculations and only eligible Support At Home funding is considered.


Funding Setup

A participant has two funding sources: Support At Home – Level 1 and Support At Home – Assistive Technology Low.


Step 1: Review Existing Statements

Review the November and December statements and confirm the remaining balances for each funding source, clearly identifying Assistive Technology funding. See How to Generate SAH Statements.

December






Step 2: Close All Remaining Periods

Click the Finalize & Send Statement button to lock the period. The quarter cannot proceed to closure unless all periods are finalised.


Step 3: Close the Quarter (Rollover Process)

Close the quarter using the Close Quarter action. The system will calculate the remaining Support At Home balance and apply the rollover rules.


Step 4: Verify Rolled-Over Funding

Confirm that a rollover entry is created only for the Level 1 funding source using the “Support at Home – Rollover Funding” fee item. No rollover should exist for Assistive Technology.

  1. In this case, the Support At Home (SAH) balance is $1,837.10. Ten percent of the quarterly budget is $183.71. 
  2. And the remaining balance is $1,550.61. As this amount exceeds $1,000, the cap rule applies. The system will again compare $1,000 with 10% of the quarterly budget and roll over the higher value.
  3. Since $1,000 is higher than $183.71, the rollover amount is capped at $1,000.

Step 5: Review January Statement

Verify that rollover appears only for eligible funding and that Assistive Technology funding is not included. 







Scenario 3: Funding Level Change Mid-Quarter

Scenario 3: Funding Level Change Mid-Quarter

This scenario demonstrates that rollover is applied only to the original eligible funding source when funding levels change mid-quarter, and does not transfer to upgraded funding.


Funding Setup

A participant has the following funding sources:

  • SAH Level 1 from November 1 to January 1

  • SAH Level 1 from January 1 to January 15

  • SAH Level 2 from January 16 to April 1


Step 1: Review Existing Statements

Review November and December statements and confirm the remaining balance associated with the Level 1 funding periods.  See How to Generate SAH Statements.


November


December


Step 2 : Close All Remaining Periods

Click the Finalize & Send Statement button to lock the period. The quarter cannot proceed to closure unless all periods are finalised.


Step 3: Close the Quarter (Rollover Process)

Close the quarter using the Close Quarter action. The system will calculate the remaining Support At Home balance and apply the rollover rules.


Step 4: Verify Rolled-Over Funding

Confirm that the rollover is created using the “Support at Home – Rollover Funding” fee item and is linked to the original Level 1 funding source. The rollover amount is $960.17 because the rule applies: if the remaining balance is less than or equal to $1,000, the full remaining amount will roll over.


Step 5: Review January Statement

Verify that the rollover appears correctly and remains associated with Level 1 funding.


Notes
  • If a participant has upgraded funding, the rollover will not be applied to the new funding level.

  • The system preserves the original funding source for rollover tracking and audit purposes.
