TX TRS Report
The reporting entity has the option to choose the method that is most advantageous to the reporting entity from the following three methods used to determine the monthly child nutrition contributions submitted under the Federal Fund/Private Grant and Federal TRS-Care contribution type:
Completion of Sections I and III of the Child Nutrition Calculation Worksheet using the standard labor cost percentage of 35%.
In Munis, this means that you will provide the Allowable Federal Fund Base from Section I of the worksheet and you will enter 35 in the Labor Cost Percentage field of the TX TRS Report Generate screen.Â
During the TX TRS Report Generate, Munis will multiply the Allowable Federal Fund Base by the Labor Cost Percentage, sum the total TRS Eligible Compensation amounts for Position 07 employees and compare the two numbers to determine the amount of Eligible Compensation Paid from Federal Funds/Private Grants to report on the RP20. Â
Completion of Sections I, II and III of the Child Nutrition Calculation Worksheet using the district’s labor cost percentage in lieu of the standard 35%. If this is the method used, supporting data should be retained for possible audit requirements.
In Munis, this means that you will provide the Allowable Federal Fund Base from Section I of the worksheet and you will enter the calculated Labor Cost Percentage from Section II of the worksheet in the Labor Cost Percentage field of the TX TRS Report Generate screen.Â
During the TX TRS Report Generate, Munis will multiply the Allowable Federal Fund Base by the Labor Cost Percentage, sum the total TRS Eligible Compensation amounts for Position 07 employees and compare the two numbers to determine the amount of Eligible Compensation Paid from Federal Funds/Private Grants to report on the RP20.Â
 Amount of Federal Fund/Private Grant or Federal TRS-Care contributions based on current contribution rates of total salaries paid to food service employees in lieu of using the Child Nutrition Calculation Worksheet.
In Munis, this means that you will enter 999,999,999.99 in the Allowable Federal Fund Base field on the TX TRS Report Generate screen and you will enter a whole number greater than 0 in the Labor Cost Percentage field of the TX TRS Report.
During the TX TRS Report Generate, Munis will multiply the 999,999,999.99 by the Labor Cost Percentage, sum the total TRS Eligible Compensation amounts for Position 07 employees and report the Eligible TRS Gross compensation amount in the Compensation Paid from Federal Funds/Private Grants field on the RP20 record for all Position 07 employees.Â
