Calculating Eligible Expenses and Lost Revenue: Could choosing a different methodology from one reporting period to another result in having unused funds to return because the method to calculate lost revenues has now changed?

Yes. The Reporting Portal is designed to track changes in the calculation of lost revenues. This includes any changes in the baseline used for comparison, and changes to the inputs for each quarter. The system will also calculate and track unreimbursed lost revenues that may fluctuate as a result of the methodology change. If as a result of the change to the method, a Reporting Entity was previously reimbursed for more lost revenues than they had for the period of availability, they may be required to return more funds than they received during the applicable “Payment Received Period.”
