  3. 1/24/14 Common SERVS/UFARS Errors Transfer/Flex Error Course Codes Error Object Code Error Repayment Error UFARS/SERVS Comparison Reports education.state.mn.us 7 Transferability • “ Transferability ” is to transfer a portion of an allocation to another Title program to more effectively address the needs. (May transfer Title II to Title I or Title II to Title III. Never can transfer from Title I or Title III.) • Transferability funds are subject to the rules and requirements of the Title program to which the transferred funds are transferred. [Section 6123 (e) (1)] 8 REAP-Flex • “ REAP-Flex ” is the “Alternative Uses of Funds Authority” under the Small, Rural School Achievement program (SRSA). • REAP-Flex funds do not have to meet the set- aside requirements of those programs they are REAP-Flexed into. [Section 6211, Guidance II-B-1, B-5] 9 3

  4. 1/24/14 REAP Flex/Transfer Title II to Title I • Funds transferred from Title II (FIN 414) to Title I (FIN 401) will appear on the Title I reconciliation report and be excluded on the Title II reconciliation report. • These costs will be identified by Program 216 and FIN 414 as reported in UFARS and drawn from the transferred funding stream in SERVS Financial. • Be sure to transfer the funds in SERVS Financial if you are going to report them that way in UFARS. • REAP FLEX – Districts eligible for REAP FLEX and choosing to utilize object codes 430, 555 or 820 should transfer those funds to FIN 401 in SERVS Financial. These funds should be reported in UFARS using program 216 and FIN Code 414. The other object codes for REAP FLEX funds can be built on the General Tab in the Title II (FIN 414) application, drawn down in SERVS Financial from FIN 414 and reported in UFARS by Program 204 and FIN 414. 10 UFARS Reporting – Transfer & REAP Flex ¡ District ¡ District ¡ Fund ¡ Organiza#onal ¡ Program ¡ Finance ¡ Object ¡ Course ¡ Total ¡ Year ¡ Number ¡ Type ¡ Number ¡ Number ¡ ¡ Number ¡ Code ¡ Code ¡ Code ¡ Amount ¡ FD ¡ ORG ¡ PRO ¡ FIN ¡ OBJ ¡ CRS ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ 01 ¡ 139 ¡ 216 ¡ 414 ¡ 161 ¡ 011 ¡ 12-­‑13 ¡ 12 ¡ 01 ¡ 2,543.45 ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ 01 ¡ 140 ¡ 216 ¡ 414 ¡ 161 ¡ 000 ¡ 12-­‑13 ¡ 12 ¡ 01 ¡ 5,556.78 ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ 01 ¡ 139 ¡ 204 ¡ 414 ¡ 161 ¡ 011 ¡ 12-­‑13 ¡ 12 ¡ 01 ¡ 85.22 ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ 01 ¡ 140 ¡ 204 ¡ 414 ¡ 161 ¡ 000 ¡ 12-­‑13 ¡ 12 ¡ 01 ¡ 2,345.35 ¡ Transfer to Title I – Program 216 REAP Flex in Title II – Program 204 11 FLEX ERROR education.state.mn.us 12 4
