Welcome to the DCFS Cost and Budgeting Web Page.  Here you will find important links to the instructions and cost reporting requirements.  The cost reporting software can also be downloaded from this site.

The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) , the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Illinois Purchased Care Review Board (IPCRB) accept the Consolidated Financial Report.  DHS providers that also submit the report to DCFS must use the forms on this web site.  The forms supplied by DHS omitted fields required by DCFS.  Therefore, DCFS cannot accept the DHS forms.  But, DHS will accept the DCFS forms.

The CFR consists of 7 forms.  All of which must be completed:
