What the Fiscal/Employer Agent (F/EA) does
Under CDC+, the F/EA typically:
- Receives the monthly budget from Medicaid and holds it in the consumer’s CDC+ account
- Withholds employee and employer taxes and remits them as required
- Pays employees and vendors after approved timesheets/invoices
- Issues year-end W-2 (employees) and 1099 (contractors) as applicable
- Assigns provider ID numbers after complete packets
- Provides monthly statements and finance-related technical assistance
What you still own as employer
- Approving accurate timesheets and invoices on the F/EA schedule
- Reconciling the monthly statement (this is a consumer/representative responsibility in program materials)
- Keeping the Purchasing Plan accurate when rates, hours, or vendors change
- Ensuring workers do not start before a provider ID is assigned
Corrective Action Plans (CAPs)
If spending, documentation, or health and safety issues arise, consultants may use a Corrective Action Plan so problems are fixed early. Ignoring budget tracking can put CDC+ participation at risk.
