Mandatory data submission for PBJ began July 1, 2016 for Federal Fiscal Quarter 4. Federal Fiscal Quarter 4 represents July 1, 2016 thru September 30, 2016. Direct care staffing and census data will be collected quarterly, and is required to be timely and accurate. Facilities that do not meet these requirements will be considered noncompliant. Facilities may enter and submit data at any frequency throughout a quarter which is why it is very important to submit data early and often to ensure compliance is achieved. Submissions must be received by the end of the 45th calendar day (11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time) after the last day in each fiscal quarter in order to be considered timely. Below are the deadlines for each reporting period:
| FISCAL QUARTER | REPORTING PERIOD | DUE DATE |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | October 1 - December 31 | February 14 |
| 2 | January 1 - March 31 | May 15 |
| 3 | April 1 - June 30 | August 14 |
| 4 | July 1 - September 30 | November 14 |
