§ 205.21 When may clearance patterns be used? (a) A State may develop a clearance pattern for: (1) An individual Federal assistance program; (2) A logical group of Federal assistance programs that have the same disbursement method and type of payee; (3) A bank account; (4) A specific type of payment, such as payroll or vendor payments; or (5) Anything that is agreed upon by us and a State. If a clearance pattern is used for multiple Federal assistance programs, a State must apply the clearance pattern separately to each Federal assistance program when scheduling funds transfers or calculating interest. (b) As set forth in § 205.9, a Treasury-State agreement must include the method a State uses to develop and maintain clearance patterns.
