FCASMTL No. 159 issued the new cost report rules which were effective July 1, 2004 and obsoleted the JFS 02909 "Residential Child Care Facility Cost Report" and JFS 02910 "Purchased Family Foster Care Cost Report" effective July 31, 2004. The new JFS 02911 is to be used effective July 31, 2004.
The JFS 02911 is intended to be used in an automated format. It is available in Microsoft Excell and Quattro Pro versions that can be accessed from the Forms section of the electronic Family, Children and Adult Services Manual or directly from the Publications section of the webpage for the Office for Children and Families, under the Forms Section at:

When downloading the Microsoft Excel version of the JFS 02911 "Single Cost Report", the macro security level must be lowered for the macro buttons to work. To lower the macro security level, open Microsoft Excel, click "Tools", "Options" and then click the "Security" tab. At the bottom of the security sheet, click "Macro Security". Change the security level from high to low. At this point, the file can be downloaded. Once downloaded, open the file. A prompt will appear requesting that the macros be either disabled or enabled. Click "enable macros". If the Macro security level is not changed to low and the macros are not enabled, the macro buttons will not work when the file is opened.
The Quattro Pro version of the JFS 02911 "Single Cost Report" can be saved without the above steps.
