FEDERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND STATE AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS IMPACTED BY CMIA - 8011

The federal assistance programs listed in the Assistance Listings are subject to the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1990 (CMIA) regulations. In California, federal assistance programs that meet or exceed the established threshold of federal funding are considered CMIA major programs. The federal assistance programs that fall below the threshold are considered non-major programs. The threshold of federal funding is determined annually using the Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards in the state's most recent Single Audit Report. For information on the federal funding threshold for CMIA major programs, see Title 31 CFR Part 205.

The following applies to CMIA major programs: 

• Are subject to CMIA interest provisions under Title 31 CFR Part 205, Subpart A of the federal regulations.
• Must be included in the Treasury-State Agreement (TSA). For information on TSA, refer to SAM Section 8012.
• The administering agencies/departments must submit CMIA quarterly reports to the Department of Finance, Fiscal Systems and Consulting Unit (FSCU).

The following applies to CMIA non-major programs: 

• Are subject to Title 31 CFR Part 205, Subpart B of the federal regulations.
• Not included in the TSA but agencies/departments must minimize the time between the deposit of federal funds in the state’s account and the disbursement of funds for federal assistance program purposes.
• Not subject to the CMIA interest provision unless specified in the TSA due to non-compliance.
• The administering agencies/departments do not need to submit CMIA reports to FSCU.
