Providers selected for 2024 DWRS cost reporting cycle

On March 27, 2024, DHS selected provider organizations to participate in the 2024 DWRS cost reporting cycle.

DHS emailed the selected providers’ authorized agents to explain:

  • · Information to include in the cost report.
  • · Instructions to log into the DWRS Cost Reporting System to complete the cost report.
  • Note: On March 27, 2024, DHS emailed incorrect login information to authorized agents. On March 29, 2024, we emailed authorized agents the correct information. Authorized agents should check their email to confirm they received the correct login information.

    Provider responsibilities

    Selected providers must submit and attest to 12 months of business costs. The last day of the 12-month period cannot be more than 18 months before the submission date. For most organizations, this period is their most recently completed fiscal year.

    The cost report requires providers to report:

  • · Staff wage costs.
  • · Facility costs.
  • · Client and program support costs.
  • · Transportation costs.
  • · Other administrative costs related to DWRS service delivery.
  • Selected providers must submit their cost report by Aug. 31, 2024. If a selected provider fails to complete the cost report by the deadline, it can result in stop payment for services.

    For step-by-step instructions to complete a DWRS cost report, refer to the DWRS Cost Reporting Tool Instruction Manual.

    DSD randomly selects providers to submit cost data related to the provision of DWRS services under Minn. Stat. §256B.4914, subd. 10(a). For more information about reporting requirements, refer to DHS – DWRS cost reporting.
