How are the penalties calculated for a submission (e.g., the 90% accuracy requirement)?
(Deleted July 5, 2002) Answer: After an opportunity for corrective action, penalties will be calculated on an element by element basis. If an applicable element is missing, out-of-range, or is part of an internal consistency relationship (as dictated in 45 CFR 1355, Appendix E) that fails, it will be converted to missing and considered in error. The percentage of errors per element will then be calculated using the number of errors across all records per element as the numerator, and the number of records that require that element as the denominator. The denominator will not always be the total number of records for each element; rather, the denominator will be the number of records for which an element requires an entry of information. An entry can include unknowns, not applicable, etc. Also in the Foster Care file, records that meet certain criteria are only required to contain “Core” data; in the Adoption file, records in which the State Agency had no involvement are not required to
