This document provides guidance for calculating, establishing, and reviewing annual allowance budgets for the WCI Partner jurisdictions.  The WCI Partners believe there is value in developing a budget-setting process prior to establishing budgets.  For this reason, the CSAD Committee is releasing this draft guidance ahead of when allowance budgets must be established, recognizing that changes to the method or process described within the guidance may be necessary in response to federal developments, results of mandatory reporting data, etc.
