EOPS/CARE
Statewide Technical Assistance Training
March 4-5, 2014
Student Services Automated
Reporting for Community
Colleges (SSARCC)
2013-14 EOPS & CARE
Final Expenditures
Presenters: Kelly Gornik & Todd HOIG
What Is SSARCC?
• A web-based computer application used
to construct and retain key Chancellor’s
Office budget documents (i.e. proposed
budgets and final expenditures for EOPS
and CARE)
Purpose
• Make it easier for college program staff to
complete EOPS and CARE budgets
• Allow for more efficient review time by
Chancellor’s Office
• Allow Chancellor’s Office to have electronic
access to statewide budget data
• Allow for local extraction of SSARCC data from
multiple years
• Save some trees – less paper to submit
How Do I Log On?
• URL: https://misweb.cccco.edu/ssarcc/login.aspx
• Two Sets of User IDs and Passwords:
One set – allows access to input/update data
One set - “Read Only”
Both sets are unchanged from 2011-12
• CCCCO provides IDs and passwords to EOPS
director only
What Should I Do First?
1. By each line item, review each planned expense
that auto-populated from approved planned
budget. Did the program:
a. Spend funds exactly as planned?
b. Spend less or more funds than planned?
c. Spend no funds on planned expense?
2. Add any additional expenses that occurred after
planned budget was approved
“Returned Funds” and “Unexpended
Funds” Mean Two Different Things in
SSARCC Final Expenditures
• “Returned Funds” = Unused funds returned no
later than June 30th on paper Mid-Year Report
• “Unexpended Funds” = Unused funds reported
after June 30th on Final Expenditure Report
2013-14 EOPS Mid-Year Report
2013-14 CARE Mid-Year Report
When Do You Use the “Returned
and/or Reallocated Funds” Column?
• If you returned EOPS or CARE funds by June
30th through Paper Mid-Year Reports
• If you received EOPS or CARE reallocated
funds
“Unexpended Funds” Column
• Auto-populates (you do not enter any figures)
• Positive and negative numbers are allowed
“Validate” Button
• Use this to double-check work prior to
submitting
• “Validate” does not lock file
“View Draft Expenditure Report”
Button
Do this when:
• You’re finished inputting data
• Report is ready for review by district/college
staff before submitting to Chancellor’s Office
You can still go back into screens to make
changes to data
Common Error Message
• “EOPS funds cannot be used to pay for non
EOPS/CARE activities”
What does this message mean?
This error message may occur for positions in which a
percentage of time is assigned to non EOPS/CARE and
in which the EOPS time is paid from EOPS funds
“EOPS funds cannot be used to pay for
non EOPS/CARE activities”
• The percentage that EOPS pays may not be
one dollar more than total percentage time in
EOPS/CARE. You may need to round down to
determine amount EOPS pays.
• Example: EOPS technician is assigned 50% to
EOPS/CARE and 50% to non EOPS/CARE. Total
salary = $40005. Fifty % = $20,002.50. EOPS
may pay up to $20,002 (round the 50 cents
down) to cover the 50% EOPS time.
“Submit to Chancellor’s Office” Button
• “Submit” after error messages have been addressed and after
appropriate local staff have reviewed
• “Submit” locks final expenditure file
• “Submit” means final expenditures are officially transmitted
to Chancellor’s Office
• Submit EOPS final expenditures before CARE final
expenditures
• CARE final expenditures must be submitted separately
• To unlock file, send email to SSARCC help desk: ssarcceops@cccco.edu
