CLEARANCE PATTERNS 7.1 The State shall develop separate clearance patterns for each of the following: Vendor Account Payroll Account AHS-PATH Account Unemployment Insurance Benefits Account Federal Highway Planning & Construction Program (Vendor Account) 7.2 The following shall develop the State's clearance patterns: The State of Vermont-Department of Finance and Management 7.3 The sources of data the State shall use when developing its clearance patterns are as follows: Vendor account-State's central accounting system Unemployment Insurance Benefits Account-Department of Labor bank records All other accounts-Bank files from the State Treasurer's Office 7.4 The State shall use the following methodology when developing its clearance patterns: When developing each clearance pattern, the State shall track at least 99% of the funds disbursed, from issuance to clearance, for a period of at least three months. 7.5 The State shall identify for each check or warrant (hereafter, check) in the population: (1) the date the check was released for payment; (2) the date the check was debited from the State's account, and, (3) the amount of the check. 7.6 The State shall use the following method to calculate the dollar-weighted average day of clearance: To determine the number of days each check was outstanding (clearance time), the issue date shall be subtracted from the date the check cleared the State's account. To determine the percentage of the disbursement paid out each day following issuance, the amount of the checks that clear the State's account each day shall be summed and then divided by the amount of the total disbursement. For each day following issuance, the clearance time of the checks paid out that day shall be multiplied by the percentage of the total disbursement those checks represent. This product is the clearance factor. The dollar-weighted average day of clearance for the disbursement shall be determined by summing the clearance factor of each day following the disbursement. 7.7 The State shall adjust each clearance pattern to reflect the dollar-weighted proportion of funds paid out by EFT/Direct payroll, with the following exceptions: All Accounts - An adjustment is not necessary since the State includes all payments in its clearance pattern calculations, including those paid electronically.

The State shall recertify its clearance patterns at least every five years. 7.10 The State shall follow the procedures of 31 CFR 205 if it has actual or constructive knowledge, at any time, that a clearance pattern does not correspond to a program's clearance activity.
